Didn't he do that earlier?  Or maybe it was just all in my imaginations.

I'm surprised he didn't replace it with Dongtoad Fun Time.

The chapter post-Mortem for his departure had all-silent panels (and the Old Lie in Latin), but it wasn't a Fun Time.

In this new chapter, Annie sets Anthony's house on fire clearly.

Well, one can dream anyways.

I still kind of wish Tom has a Mort Fun Time joke at the expense of the reader by the strip being just an empty room for 3 panels.
Ahaha, I would find this pretty hilarious.  Tom always knows how to troll us, heh, and something like that would be up his alley.

I'm not currently sharing the same resentment towards Anthony as most people are, since I figure he's not being a jerk simply for malicious purposes, but I suppose we'll find out sooner or later.

Starting to make sense now. Annie basically had a psychotic break where all her anger and rebellion physically separated and incarnated itself and is now an angry fire spirit flapping around her dorm room.

Starting to make sense now.

Webcomics are an interesting medium.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

She hasn't exactly been a model citizen of the Court. Which is why her total passivity and submission to Anthony came as such a shock to most readers.

Although today's strip is kinda...yikes. What did you do, Annie?

I think she very consciously and deliberately removed her anger and rebellion and physically separated it from her. I don't know how good of an idea that is.

It sort of seems like she used her blinker stone to spiritually maim herself, cutting herself away from the fire elemental within her.

That assumption seems quite plausible, yeah. I wonder what long term consequences might arise due to that though.

By her wording, I'd say 'maim' is a bit strong. She implies it's temporary; presumably it'll be reversed when her hair grows back. (Insert rampant speculation about her psychology and past hairstyles.)

It seems not completely unreasonable to me; under the influence of the elemental part, she's just a ball of anger, shame, and I don't know what. Now, she can try to resolve the situation without setting things on fire.

Cutting out a chunk of your soul seems a wee bit drastic.

Hey, I didn't say it was a good idea, just that I can see why she would do it without being full headpants.
