211 matches for zimmy gamma.

id Gamma realise Zimmy's is lying to her about other students saying mean things?

Gamma knows Zimmy does that sometimes, yeah.


Besides Gamma, is Annie Zimmy's closest friend?

Zimmy would hesitate to admit that.


Does Zimmy always see Kat the way she did in the latest chapter, or does Zimmy only sometimes see Kat like that? If Kat's always looked that that to her, why hasn't Zimmy shown fear before now?

Zimmy has always been standoffish with her, but this was the first time she was essentially alone with Kat without Gamma nearby


Has Annie ever sat with Zimmy and helped Gamma sleep again since Dobranoc, Gamma?

Yes, a few times.


Does Gamma ever get tired of having to be around Zimmy all the time?

Sometimes


How long have Gamma and Zimmy been together?

A few years now


Is the way Kat looks to Zimmy significantly worse than the way other people look? When the Zimmy and Gamma first met her, Zimmy didn't seem particularly surprised.

Yeah, Kat looks different to most of the other people Zimmy sees


When Gamma gets close to Zimmy, can she see things as Zimmy sees them? Like, can she see what Kat looks like right now?

Sometimes, but Kat just looks normal to her. This is all Zimmy.


Does the presence of Gamma help Zimmy see people in a more "normal" way or are the images always there to some extent?

Sometimes, yeah.


How come you deleted that picture of Zimmy and Gamma from your deviantArt page?

It was old and dumb.


It occured to me that, despite sounding delusional concerning Zimmy, Jack actually has a very good understand of her personality AND of the nature of her relationship with Gamma. With that in mind, I'm very curious to see how he plans to make his move!

Me too


I'd like to know if Zimmy has to translate for Gamma when Zimmy speaks English out loud, or if Gamma just understands that from her thoughts. Could Zimmy lie to Gamma about what she was saying?

That is exactly the case. Zimmy will usually let Gamma know what she is saying out loud, but does not always translate correctly. This was shown in the Power Station chapter.


Had Gamma only been in England for a little while before she met Zimmy? Is that why she's never learned English?

Correct


Which characters, if any, would you like to take with you to a new comic?

Jones, Zimmy and Gamma seem most likely, since they all came from other comic ideas.


Which characters, if any, would you like to incorporate in a future comic?

A bunch, namely ones like Paz, Zimmy/Gamma, some of the fairies/ex-animals, the parents when they were younger, Jones, Jan and Cookie Monster, and any others that I feel would make interesting stories.


How did Zimmy and Gamma eat when they were on their own? Did one of them hold a job, did they steal food, did they go to a soup kitchen, did they scavenge it out of the garbage?

they did whatever they could


When are Zimmy and Gamma's birthdays? Do they know them? If so, do they celebrate them?

They know when they are, but they don't know the dates.


Would Gamma ever be interested in learning how to use a blinker stone? Would Zimmy let her?

No and no


Was it difficult for Zimmy to be vulnerable around Gamma when they first met?

It was pretty strange at first, yeah.


If Zimmy and Gamma took the test and became forest animals, would that solve Zimmy's mental/etheric problem?

Oh man, no way. I doubt the forest would even let her try it.


Why doesn't Zimmy hang around with Annie more? Surely having two people with Gamma's ability would help Zimmy's condition, and let Gamma get some sleep....

Yes but zimmy would always prefer to be with Gamma


Have Zimmy and Gamma come to Annie for help at all after the events of "Goodnight Gamma?"

Sometimes


Will Zimmy and Gamma appear in the next couple of chapters?

Yup


Going to Momo Con in Spring....my best friend and I really want to cosplay as Zimmy and Gamma. What clothes do they more commonly wear-their school clothes or casual?

The clothes on this page are pretty standard for them before coming to the Court: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=468 Otherwise, they are usualy in their school uniform


Is it luck or something else that Zimmy just happened upon the one person who could make her life somewhat tolerable? On that note, would Gamma's ability have other applications other than soothing Zimmy?

We shall have to see


Reread Spring Heeled, and finally realized what Gamma was saying to Zimmy. :') Very sweet. Does she talk nonstop to Zimmy through telepathy all the time? Does it help Zimmy's condition somehow?

It helps drown out some of the natural noise in Zimmy's head


Does Zimmy know her own birthday? What about Gamma?

They might do


Does Gamma's ability to help ease the stress off of Zimmy's psyche get affected when she gets sick?

It does, yes.


What makes Zimmy happy?

Gamma


Do Zimmy and Gamma ever socialize with other Chester students?

They try not to


Would Gamma have been in Chester were it not for Zimmy?

If not for Zimmy, Gamma may never have come to Gunnerkrigg Court.


Do Zimmy's everyday hallucinations (seeing real people with no faces, etc) affect Gamma as well?

Sometimes, but not as much.


What would Gamma and Zimmy think about Mount Waialeale, where the geography causes it to rain every single day? Would they like to move there?

They've never heard of it


Will we ever have a Zimmy and Gamma centric chapter?

I hope to do another one soon, yes.


What would Gamma do if something truly awful happened to Zimmy? Does she have a family to go back to?

Her family is something she does not talk or think about.


Has Gamma or Zimmy thought about moving to one of the rainiest places in the world when they grow up?

They've talked about stuff like that before, but Zimmy would be amazed if she ever got old enough to be considered grown up


You said Gamma's powers were stronger than Annie's, but what are Gamma's powers, other than calming Zimmy? Can she see see psychopomps and ghosts as well, or what?

We shall have to see


Have Zimmy and Gamma ever had a really big fight?

Of course


In their relationship, who's likely to give in and let the other person have their way more? Zimmy, or Gamma?

Gamma, of course


Does Gamma usually sleep when it rains, or is she willing to stay awake if it means she can see Zimmy enjoying herself and being happy?

When it's raining is a good time for Gamma to get some rest. She does like to watch Zimmy relax a little though.


If Annie were to spend time with Zimmy and Gamma every once in a while, allowing Gamma to sleep, would it have a negative effect on any of them? Assuming they managed to come to such an agreement, of course.

Things would basically go as they did when Annie last spent time with Zimmy while Gamma slept.


Is there ever a time when Gamma can safely go to sleep without Zimmy's powers going out of control? If not, how does she not die from sleep deprivation?

Gamma takes little naps now and then. It's not very comfortable for either of them though


Does Gamma's ability to help Zimmy become hampered when she gets sick?

Unknown


We know Zimmy and Gamma don't usually go to class like the other students, but do they have dormitories, or do they just spend most of the time wandering around the Court?

They have assigned rooms, like everyone else, but they have not gone to them very often. They probably don't even know where their current ones are.


Sorry it's not a question, but, for what little it's worth (not much), I find Zimmy and Gamma's relationship to be very well-written, sweet, and loving, and that most of the people making snarky or mean comments appear to be missing the point.

Missing the point is part of the internet.


Zimmy once said that Ann has the same calming effect as Gamma, if a little weaker. Is this due to her being part elemental or having ethereal abilities? Could Jack have a similar effect?

It s a little of both. Right now, being near Jack hasn't seemed to have heped Zimmy in any way.


If Zimmy could be "normal," that is, have no etheric/magical properties whatsoever and be like an average girl her age, but it also meant losing her mental link to Gamma, do you think she would do it?

If Gama was still there I'm sure Zimmy would be fine ditching everything else.


Zimmy and Gamma seem to be the only romantic couple among the main cast that hasn't been fully confirmed and is hanging out in subtext limbo. How did that happen?

I think what happened is that you're looking for things to get upset about.


Did Gamma figure out by now that Zimmy is mistranslating stuff to keep her to herself?

She kinda figured out it happens. She's known about it for a while, but can't really talk to anyone about it


Does Gamma drink coffee to help her stay awake? And does Zimmy regularly give Gamma 'false translations' so that her friend will not socialize as much with other people?

Gamma doesn't really like coffee. Depending on what's being said, Zimmy will often mistranslate things for Gamma in order to make her think people don't like her.


If Zimmy's theme is Stress, is Gamma's theme Valentine? (from the same album)

Gamma is the part at the end of Stress.


Do Gamma and Zimmy just happen to both have Greek letters as their given names, or did they start using them after finding each other?

It's how I named them


are we ever going to see Zimmy and Gamma's relationship confirmed in-comic, just like the straight ones?

Explain what sort of confirmation would make you happy.


I've always been very curious about the project Zimmy and Gamma are from. Would you mind sharing a little bit about that with us?

What do you mean by project?


Did the spiders tell Jack about Zimmy and Gamma's relationship?

Amongst other things.


You've said that Zimmy and Gamma are together romantically. On Zimmy's part, is it just Gamma or does she like girls in general? If so, only girls? If Jack's not just messing with Annie, is he totally out of luck?

I'll be getting to that in the comic.


Zimmy and Gamma are--in a complicated, twisted, unhealthy, etc. way-- a couple and very much in love,correct? I think this has been stated before, but I'd like to be sure I don't have the wrong idea.

They are a couple, yes.


Does Gamma sometimes stop to think about her relationship with Zimmy? Does she miss the more normal side of life, little pleasantries like that?

she thinks about it a lot


How hard is it for Gamma to differentiate between the real world and Zimworld? She seems to have a bit of trouble in both Power Station and Spring Heeled 2

It can get confusing sometimes, but normally only when Zimmy is having a major attack


So far GC has a number of plot lines (Surma's illness, Jeanne, Zimmy and Gamma, etc.) once all these plot points get resolved will the comic end or will other puzzles and story arcs be woven in as the story progresses? i

there will be more story arcs, and the comic will end when they are all resolved


what would you say is the strongest friendship in the story?

Zimmy and Gamma's. But Anja and Donny's is probably healthier. Kat and Annie are also good friends


is zimmy's love for gamma romantic in nature?

Some might be able to describe it that way if they thought about it hard enough


So when Jack, Annie, Zimmy and Gamma were in that dark world the 2nd time, was the whitelegs completely in control of Jack and just using him as a meat puppet?

pretty much


When she thought she was Annie, Zimmy passed out a little while walking with Gamma. Does she ever do that when she's not someone else?

Yes


Does anyone other than Annie, Kat, Zimmy, Gamma, Jones, and Rey know what happened to Jack?

yes


If Annie trained and got better at ethericallity and specifically tried at it could she approach Gamma's effectiveness at relieving Zimmy's constant stress?

no


Gamma is definitely dedicated to Zimmy but does she wish she could make more friends? Does Zimmy have any other friends?

No


The Court doesn't track Zimmy, but could they track Gamma without Zimmy knowing?

No


Did/does Zimmy or Gamma have any relatives?

yes


Does Zimmy smell bad? What about Gamma? Does she take baths sometimes?

Zimmy doesn't smell to great. Gamma tries to get her to wash when she can


Is it accurate to say that, in some sense, ZImmy is holding Gamma back?

In some ways that term could be used


"Gamma looks at the words and Zimmy translates them" How is that different from Zimmy reading, just through Gamma's eyes/mind? Unless, Gamma knows how to pronounce the words but not their meaning?

Gamma is just the filter. she can't read english


I think I remember you saying once that Zimmy doesn't know how to read. Does Gamma read books to her, or does she just talk to Zimmy and tell her stories?

Gamma looks at the words and Zimmy translates them


Would Andrew affect Zimmy similarly to Gamma and Annie?

Remains to be seen


Without understanding why, Gamma knew Zimmy was angry at Kat and Annie so she tried to act tough. Once she heard Annie speak, she realized Annie and Kat weren't *trying* to bother Zimmy and she felt bad about trying to act tough. Um... right?

ok


How close are Gamma and Zimmy?

Closer than most people can ever be


Zimmy mentioned a little while ago about Gamma being able to use magic, so if she had one, would Gamma be able to use a blinker stone?

She might


Zimmy looks so skinny compared to Gamma... Is she just younger or does she not eat properly?

both


That was an unusually straightforward answer about Zimmy and Gamma being in love. Why were you so open about them, but remain secretive about other couples?

Because it's already obvious in the comic that they are in love.


You said before that there are gay characters, who did you refer to? Are there more than Zimmy and Gamma?

Yes


I love Zimmy and Gamma! Are they in love with each other?

Yes


So if Zimmy's mind is tuned to the ether like Coyote and Renard's minds are, is Gamma kind of on the same level of Coyote and Renard? She must be some sorta angel. :D

Nope


Were Zeta (now ZImmy) and Gamma given those names by the same person/entity?

Nope


If Gamma can banish Zimmy's hallucinations (or something along those lines) then could she have gotten rid of Jack's whitelegs?

No, she wouldn't have been able to help him too much


Why did Annie (looking as Zimmy) warn off Zimmy and Gamma in #732? Is it because she was afraid that Gamma was gonna "GOP" memory-Jack as she had done with Kat?

She didn't know what would happen if Jack got too close to Zimmy


Does Gamma's ability to stop Zimmy's hallucinations have any other use?

Remains to be seen


Does Zimmy like Annie okay, or does she hate her just as much as she hates anyone who isn't Gamma?

She doesn't hate Annie. That's pretty good going for Zimmy.


Why did Zimmy kill a dog (with a coathanger, no less)? Has she felt bad about it?

She was protecting Gamma


Who's in those real life paper pictures you made for the con?

So far: 2 of Annie, 2 of Kat, 2 of Renard (wolf and plush) 2 of Zimmy (one with Gamma) and Robot King


Do you speak any other languages besides English? I know Eglamore uses Slovenian at least once, and Gamma & Zimmy frequently speak in Polish.

I speak Spanish


In Gamma's ramblings during Spring Heeled, Part II, it sounded like she believes Zimmy is a fan of the Christmas holidays. Is she correct?

Zimmy doesn't mind them, no. Gamma knows this.


What is your opinion about Zimmy and Gamma? Nah, just kidding :-P What do you think about the 'feud' between Control-Alt-Delete and Penny Arcade? I personally am on the CAD side.

I am on the Penny Arcade side.


Was that time Zimmy used a coat hanger to kill a dog before or after she met Gamma?

After


does Gamma ever get any free time to go do things like use the bathroom or take a nap or brush her teeth or talk to people without Zimmy there? it seems like a serious commitment to keep an eye on Zimmy, even for someone as devoted as Gamma

Of course she can go to the bathroom and stuff. But she doesn't get free time.


What do some of the characters do in their free time? Annie? Kat? Zimmy&Gamma?

Kat and Annie just do usual kid stuff, but also things like working on robots, or learning how to use a blinker stone. Zimmy just gets angry at stuff.


Would Zimmy be able to tell if the court was tracking Gamma?

Yes


Who/what would Zimmy dress as for Halloween?

She wouldn't, and she wouldn't let Gamma do it either.


i'm the person who asked about zimmy and gamma and I'm insanely happy now. <33333333333333333333

Okay


What music would Zimmy listen to? What music would Gamma listen to? What kind of CD would Kat buy Annie for a present?

Kat would probably try to get Annie into Orbital first.


why don't you just tell us if Zimmy and Gamma are together romantically or not? because then we'd all stop bugging you about it.

I thought I've said plenty of times that they are. But also it's not that simple.


Would Gamma see the Nobodies if she weren't near Zimmy?

Nope


Are we to understand that Gamma and Zimmy know more about the Tic-Tocs than the Court does?

Only a little, but nothing they could explain


Do you think it might be time to switch out the "Reynardine body swap" restriction with "Zimmy and Gamma relationship" questions?

Maybe


Have those lightning lines between Zimmy and Gamma always been there? Or am I just now noticing because I'm more aware of the relationship?

They've been there since Power Station


I just noticed the electric (I suppose etheric, actually) arcs between Zimmy and Gamma's heads in today's page. It's a really cool touch! Did you do it on earlier pages and I miss it or did you just start with that page?

It's been visible since the Power Station chapter


Hi! I have a question; which character from gunnerkrigg has been around the longest? You mentioned once on the forums that Gamma and Zimmy were created before GC so it got me thinking. Thanks!

It's either Zimmy or Jones.


How would you describe Zimmy and Gamma's relationship, then?

qyb5buyen7k6k435


What is the word you would use to describe Zimmy & Gamma's relationship? I assume it's more than just sisterly.

eb545seb5wb56yb54


Are you tired of all the "Are Zimmy and Gamma a couple?" questions, or have you accepted that it's one thing which will never be fully understood unless its cleared up leaving no doubts in the comic?

I'll get questions about it even if I clearly label and explain every element of their being and interaction.


How would you describe Zimmy and Gamma's relationship?

I would describe it as Zimmy and Gamma.


How long was Gamma living in England before she met Zimmy?

Not long at all


Gamma isn't mad at Zimmy, is she?

Nah


If Gamma's etheric ability is not unique is he pass down from her Family? oh and i like the subtle lines between Zimmy and Gamma to know they were talking in panel 2, 4,5 and 7 on page 740

Nope


Sorry if it's been asked before, but are Zimmy & Gamma in a romantic relationship, or is it more of a sisterly thing?

"Romantic" is not the word I would use to describe it.


Sorry if it's been asked before, but are Zimmy & Gamma in a romantic relationship, or is it more of a sisterly thing?

"Romantic" is not the word I would use to describe it.


Are Zimmy and Gamma unique in their etheric "abilities"?

Zimmy is


Will Zimmy and Gamma show up more often in the story from now on? If they won't, do you wish they would? I sure do.

They will be back at some point


Does this happen between Zimmy and Gamma often?

Sometimes yes


Not a question, but I just wanted to say that all of their appearances make love the Zimmy and Gamma pair more and more. By the way, what word meaning "two people, as a unit" carries no romantic connotation? Duo just makes me think of superheroes.

Pair?


Are Zimmy and Gamma allowed to leave the Court?

If they wanted


You've said you changed some things when migrating Zimmy and Gamma from their story to Gunnerkrigg, are there any you can mention?

Zimmy doesn't swear nearly as much now.


Has Zimmy ever seriously thought to commit suicide, considering that would be leaving Gamma behind?

Before meeting Gamma, thinking about suicide was like visiting an old friend.


How does Zimmy get through the times when Gamma finally has to sleep?

With difficulty.


Are Zimmy and Gamma able to think without communicating telepathically?

Yes


Do Gamma and Zimmy love each other unconditionally?

Unfortunately, yes.


Why does Gamma love Zimmy? Does Zimmy's possessiveness ever worry her?

Sometimes it does. As for why; well nobody has ever asked her.


Sorry I asked you this earlier, but there's apparently no way to search for older answers. Are Zimmy and Gamma a couple?

Yes they are


Ooops, I'm not sure I asked to right question I wanted to ask why Gamma loves Zimmy and I might have messed the names up by mistake. So why? (feel free to delete the wrong question)

Okay


Why does Zimmy love Gamma?

Many reasons


So, Gamma realized they were in That Place (she knew "Zimmy" and Jack were near Iron: Man) but saw "Annie" for what she really was, correct?

Gamma didn't realise they were in Zimmy's hallucination until the spider mentioned it.


Do Zimmy and Gamma ever argue with each other?

Sometimes


Do Zimmy and Gamma ever go get haircuts?

Sometimes, under protest (from Zimmy)


When it rained on Zimmy in Dobranoc Gamma, she is seen rubbing at her eyes before her pretty red eyes show. What would happen if Zimmy rubbed at her eyes on a normal day?

Nothing


Did Zimmy look like Zimmy to Gamma the whole time in this chapter?

Yup


Is Zimmy in love with someone other than Gamma?

No


For what it's worth, since I've noticed some people knocking it in earlier "questions"--I'm very much enjoying the ANNIE IS ZIMMY IS GAMMA IS BOXBOT bewilderment. (Though I figure the only way to find out is to wait and see.)

Thanks


Since Zimmy and Gamma were originally created for a different project, did you have to change a lot about them to make them fit in Gunnerkrigg?

A little. They changed a lot frmo their initial conception anyway


Does Gamma ever wish she had more friends than just Zimmy?

Sometimes


Uh, how has Gamma avoided learning any English?

she knows Zimmy wouldn't like it.


Did you expect everyone to be as curious as they are about Zimmy and Gamma, particularly the nature of their relationship? Were you hesitant at all to include them?

I hoped people would be curious about Zimmy and Gamma


Does Zimmy (or Gamma) know what needs to be done to get everyone through the current affair alive and sane?

Remains to be seen


Do Zimmy and Gamma have different ideas of what they want their relationship to be? Specifically, does one of them want it to be romantic, while the other one just wants to be friends?

They both want the same thing, and that is to be safe and to be together.


Are Zimmy and Gamma one entity occupying two bodies?

No.


What was Gamma's life like before she found Zimmy?

Not too great


How could Gamma not realize that they were in Zimmyngham? Where did she think they were?

All this is pretty normal for Zimmy and Gamma


How could Gamma not realize that they were in Zimmyngham? Where did she think they were?

All this is pretty normal for Zimmy and Gamma


Can Zimmy feel the Tic Toc's stare (as Gamma says on 196) because the Tic Toc can stare at her etherically, and Zimmy can sense the etherium?

She can tell when a system is tracking her


Will we find out why Zimmy and Gamma go to libraries when Gamma needs to sleep?

Eventually


Are Zimmy and Gamma a thing? I can't tell if they're just really really good friends or not. I kinda hope they're together <3

They are a thing


Some people have theorized that characters changed places in Zimmy' world. One of the reasons was Gamma suddenly being next to Jack in page 732. Did she really just appear there, or did we just not see her move between the panels?

Gamma walked over to him.


How deep is Gamma and Zimmy's love? Is it beyond best friends love?

yes they are more than just best friends


Does Zimmy love Gamma back? I hope she does, cause Gamma AND Zimmy are my favourite characters.

Yes she does


This is weirdly specific, but on page 470, was Zimmy repeating advice Gamma has given her? Also thanks for answering questions again; I really enjoy learning more about the comic.

Zimmy knows it's easier for other people to shrug off.


Can Annie here Gamma & Zimmy's telepathy in Birmingham? Or did I fall for a classic blunder? PS: Glad the formspring page is back up :)

Annie where?


I don't understand the "Stubbs" drawing you did a while back- the one with Zimmy and Gamma and the pigeon. What's going on in it?

Stumps was a pigeon that died.


How long were the characters for GC in your head before you started the comic? Zimmy and Gamma particularly, since I remember seeing them on your DA before GC started.

Zimmy and Gamma had been around for a few years before starting the comic. So had Jones. All the others were made for the comic, though.


Will Zimmy and Gamma ever graduate from the court if they rarely attend classes?

remains to be seen


Does Jack's condition get better in Annie's presence, like Zimmy's does around her and Gamma?

Not really.


Does Jack's condition get better in Annie's presence, like Zimmy's does around her and Gamma?

Not really.


Are Gamma's etheric powers (namely her power of canceling out Zimmy's otherworldly hallucinations) stronger than Antimony's?

Yes.


Okay, it's hard to know how to phrase this question but here goes. If the spider is from Zimmy's world or wherever, shouldn't Annie's limited Gamma-effect on Zimmy's hallucinations somehow lessen the spider's um, weirdness?

You would think so, unless it is something stronger than Annie.


I seem to recall you said Zimmy's condition became worse over time. At what point did it become a serious problem? Has it continued to get worse even after she met Gamma?

Her condition was at its worst right before she met Gamma. Since then it has eased off due to Gamma's presence.


Can Zimmy not read because of her eyes, or does she not know how to read? Can Gamma read?

She doesn't know how to read because she can't look at printed words long enough to learn. Gamma can read, but not understand English. Through Gamma, though, Zimmy can read stuff (Gamma looks at the words and Zimmy translates) but she doesn't see the point.


How old are the characters of Zimmy and Gamma (and Jones)? I mean how long ago did you come up with them?

Dunno really. I think maybe around 10 years ago now.


"Annie came first before everything." Even Zimmy? When did she figure in?

I made Zimmy and Gamma a long time ago (and Jones, actually), but they came long before Gunnerkrigg. Annie was the first character I drew from the comic and I wanted to add Zimmy later.


Has Zimmy considered occasionally asking Annie for help so that Gamma could sleep more often? It would mean swallowing her pride to ask for help, but it would also help Gamma.

But it would mean swallowing her pride.


Hello Tom. Are Gamma's parents concerned about her? What about Zimmy's Parents?

Zimmy's parents haven't really noticed she's gone. Gamma doesn't think about her parents.


Do Zimmy and Gamma enjoy chasing rats?

Zimmy does sometimes.


Does Gamma know that Jack was dragged into Zimmynham too?

She realised it when Zimmy did.


In Power Station, Gamma told Zimmy that only Annie got dragged into Zimmy's horrible mental Birmingham. It then turns out that Jack was also somehow affected. Did he end up in Zimmy's mental Birmingham, or did something different happen to him?

That remains to be seen.


Does Gamma find it harder or easier to stay awake for long periods of time compared to when she first started staying awake for Zimmy?

It's a little easier now. She has a system for getting some rest when she can.


So far, we've encounter a few cases of a character being devoted to someone who treats them rather thoughtlessly: Gamma to Zimmy, Ysengrin to Coyote, etc. Is this a theme for the comic?

Kind of, yes.


Does Gamma understand what is wrong with Zimmy?

No.


Is there a reason Gamma didn't realize Jack was in Zimmy's world in chapter 19?

That remains to be seen.


err.. Gamma and Zimmy, I mean

No worries.


Why was Gamma in Birmingham?

Because that's where Zimmy was.


Why did Zimmy kill a dog with a coat hanger?

To protect Gamma.


I seem to recall you said Zimmy's condition became worse over time. At what point did it become a serious problem? Has it continued to get worse even after she met Gamma?

It got worse right up until she met Gamma. Since then it has plateaued and sometimes even gotten a little better.


How did Zimmy and Gamma come to love one another?

When they found eachother.


Are Zimmy and Gamma capable of loving people except each other? Does Gamma know about city fairies?

Gamma is fairly normal. As normal as a girl in her situation could be. She could love and have friends if she wanted. Zimmy though, would never consider anyone else. <br /> Gamma has met the city fairies too.


How does Zimmy view Annie? Does she dislike her or is she more or less indifferent?

She sees that Annie doesn't give her to omuch trouble and even helped her and Gamma a couple times. So she's cautiously indifferent about her.


Does Gamma resent Zimmy's dependence on her?

No.


Hey, I suppose this is the "remains to be seen" kind of question but, Are we ever going to know what's going on with Zimmy?. By the way, i really enjoy your comic, (Gamma its one of my favourite characters) keep the good work!

That kind of thing should be explored later.


Why do you sympathize most with Gamma?

Because she has a tough deal. So does Zimmy, but she can't help it. Gamma could walk away whenever she wanted.


Is every mystery in the comic connected, or do some of them operate independently? Like, maybe the story of Zimmy and Gamma has nothing to do with Coyote and the Forest.

Some parts are connected, and some aren't.


What is your favourite part of the story to write? (e.g. bits with Zimmy and Gamma, bits that take place in the forest?)

I like parts with Annie and Kat.


How long has Zimmy known Gamma?

A few years now.


How did Gammy and Zimmy discover they had a telepathic connection?

When Gamma found Zimmy.


Does Gamma feel the same way about Zimmy, as Zimmy feels about her?

Gamma also loves Zimmy, yes.


Does Zimmy really love Gamma, or is she mainly interested in getting rid of her hallucinations?

She genuinely loves Gamma.


Does Gamma have any interests other than helping Zimmy? Don't her parents miss her?

She's not really had any time to find any other interestes other than what helps Zimmy.


According to google translate, the sign in the library where we first meet Zimmy and Gamma says "risk of insect[s?]" Does Zimmy attract insects in general, or just spiders?

Just weird things in general.


A third question (there's a character limit apparently): Are Gamma's powers only related to Zimmy or could she use them in some other way if she were so inclined?

She's pretty much only capable of helping Zimmy.


If Zimmy truly cared about Gamma, she wouldn't lie to her all the time, don't you think?

You don't know Zimmy.


Is Gamma now aware that Zimmy doesn't translate correctly after what Annie said in chapter 19 or did Jack interrupt before she understood?

No, she gets the situation.


Does Gamma like helping Zimmy ward off the, uh, hallucinations? Why does she stick around?

She sticks around because Zimmy needs her.


Do Zimmy's parents love her? Do they know that Gamma helps her in some way?

If they could remember her, they would be glad she is gone.


Was Zimmy prone to seeing visions from birth, and if so, how much did her life suck when she was a baby, or before she met Gamma?

It was bad pretty much from the start. There was a time when she was too young to realise how bad it was, I suppose.


Are there other kids with abilities/disabilities similar to Zimmy 's and Gamma's?

Not quite the same.


Would Gamma ever teach Zimmy Polish? Does she like to draw?

Zimym doesn't want to learn Polish. And Gamma doesn't really have the time to draw.


Zimmy and Gamma were an old idea of yours, yes? Why did you choose to incorporate them into the Gunnerkrigg story? Will they be closely linked with the main plot eventually, or are they a mostly separate sub-plot? Is this too many questions at once?

I wanted to use them in something as I thought they were too interesting to be left alone. I hope to use them more in the future also.


Why haven't you been stoned to death on the street over Zimmy and Gamma - is their relationship flawed and ambiguous enough to be written off as non-romantic, thus sparing you your grim fate?

People can make of their relationship what they want, but they aren't exactly a cute couple. Not in the Internet sense of things, leastways.


What happened to Zimmy and Gamma's parents? Or does that remain to be seen?

That's not really the focus of this comic.


What happens to those side drawings you would occasionally show during ustreams? Stuff like Zimmy and Gamma with the spider.

They are saved until I can get back to them.


Do Gamma and Zimmy not have parents? What happened to them?

Yeah they had parents.


Other that Zimmy and Gamma, which I believe you've mentioned in the past as a possibility, are there any other characters' stories (including characters not yet revealed) that you think would make good subjects for their own comic or project?

I'd really love to do a short story on Paz. I have a nice idea in mind for her.


Will Zimmy and Gamma be in the next chapter? (or the one after that?) I'm so excited to find out more about those guys!

We shall have to see.


What is wrong with Zimmy? And why is she so dirty?

She has more important things to worry about than personal hygene (at least that is what she tells Gamma when she is bugging her to clean up).


Will Gamma ever learn English?

Not if Zimmy can help it.


Are Zimmy and Gamma a couple?

Not in the way you are thinking.


Does any of teachers cares that sticking with Zimmy hinders Gamma's progress in school by, for example, keeping her from learning english? How does she takes an exams, by the way?

No, they let the two girls do basically what they want. They rarely attend classes and a teacher would never dream of asking them to sit an exam.
