Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup

I think it's less that that guy in particular died, but more that one of the robots died, and the metaphysical results of that.

I get yeah, that if a more promenient robot had died that would've probably had much more of an impact, though, in addition to the mechanical table setting.

Yep; I agree that the whole point was to have it be an "everyrobot" that died, somebody we can vaguely empathize with but who represents the New People in general rather than being a character in their own right. If, say, Robot had died, the interesting ideas in this chapter ("Kat is essentially a creator deity now", "Annie's psychopomp promise is breathing down her neck", "these New People are, indeed, true etheric souls") would have all been overshadowed by the sadness of losing a beloved major character.

There’s also an important implication that nobody here has commented on.

If bald dude was the first robot to die…what happened to Lana?

I’m not going to say “called it” yet, because we haven’t had confirmation…but I can definitely hear a faint ringing sound in the distance.

The main characters themselves have remarked about that.

I'd bet this is what Zimmy would have been if she weren't born with an etheric energy generator inside her.

;She certainely look lie a cleaner less alway tired and possessed Zimmy, somewhat and we know Zimma can take other identities and appearances ain her mind trips (as seen when Zimmy though she was Anne way back when: https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=727 And the transition was such eve we as the audience couldn't really tell.)
But it seems a bit too obvious and also I'm unsure why Anne would ask "who are you" rather than "Zimmy is that you " which seems to indicate it may be someone else (or at least that she susects someone else).

Also she looks like Zmmy but also has a bit of Jerrek in the way her face and expression looks too ? (at least that feels like this to me ? could just be a new people thing tho...) Seeing as this mess was made by Coyote spearating itself from Loup and attacking Zimmy then the two having a fight near Zimmy thus creating what may be possbly a big three way aetheric interference... could it be that a part of Zimmy fused with a part of Loup ? At least even if so temporarily and that's the eprson where seeing here ?
... Or maybe I'm widly speculating out of my arse.

That title page...

Have we heard anything from the creator on the comic's end? Could this truly be it? Would he be the kind of creator to just DROP it on the audience like this?
