I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a flying octopus used as a metaphor for realizing sexual identity, but it works surprisingly well. ---

You have to click ahead to the next comic to see the octopus. And the question that the octopus asks is[here](http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1191). The folk in the woods are asking for things from Andrew because his talent is [accidentally putting things into order](http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=383). ---

And now Kat has _actually_ come out of the closet, albeit by accident; Annie just caught her kissing new girlfriend Paz. Annie reacted by running away, and now she seems to be sulking outside the “holodeck” where they sat back in Year 1. I wonder why Annie is so upset. I doubt _she_ is attracted to Kat or Paz. Annie’s pretty much asexual, yeah? And I hope Renard’s theory is incorrect. ---

Well, bang goes my productivity… luckily it’s a slow night. ---

Yeah. A sad day for us, the “Katnnie” shippers. ---

Ha! I hear that. Gunnerkrigg Court lends itself quite well to binge-reading, especially since it has an app. The other day when I was bored I tore through the entire series again in about three days, and the second half of it in a few hours.
