Bonus pages are pages that come after a main chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court has ended. They show fun facts or round out parts of the Gunnerkrigg Court universe. Occasionally, they may follow up on or even directly continue the story from the preceding chapter. Included are the treatises that mark the end of each book, except the first treatise which marks the end of the seven chapter Lulu edition. They are the only pages that Tea has ever appeared on.

List of bonus pages[]

Other Pages[]

There are a few pages that are not listed as part of a comic, and not as a bonus page. Most of these are in Black/white, and about Katerina and real-world pop-culture, but there are exceptions.

Treatises[]

Treatises are Bonus pages that usually mark the ending of one of the released books. They hold many references to events throughout the book, sometimes there may also be foreshadowing or symbolism for artistic license.

Something worth noting is that, until the Seventh Treatise, Kat is always on the left side while Annie is on the right. The same goes for references to the moon and the sun, in the treatises in which they are both represented. And this also applies to references to Gunnerkrigg Court and Gillitie Wood, when those both appear. Until the Seventh Treatise they appear on the left and right respectively in some way.

Starting with the Seventh Treatise, the relative positions of Kat and Annie, the moon and the sun, and any references to the Court and the Wood become more variable and the layout of the treatises as a whole becomes more complex.

First Treatise[]

Treatsie 1

Chapter 7, Page 24

This Treatise marks the end of the very first book released, the Lulu edition. This book is no longer available, and instead the second marks the end of the first Volume. This is also the only one that doesn't show both the court and the forest.

Notes[]

  • "Ora lege relega labora et invenies" is latin and translates to "Pray, read, read again, work and you shall find.
  • The sun and the moon above Annie and Kat's heads. This is repeated in most of the other treatises.
  • The symbol for Antimony, this might reference Chapter 3: Reynardine.
  • other alchemic(?) symbols (repeated in many following treatises): triangle = fire (Annie), inverted triangle = water

Notes[]

Third Treatise[]

Treatsie 3

Chapter 22, Page 24

This treatise marks the end of Gunnerkrigg Court Volume Two: Research.

Notes[]

  • A poster with the moon and the text "Visit the stars". This may refer to either Chapter 20: Coyote Stories where Annie touches the moon.
  • In top-right corner there's a symbol that looks like the Zia people's symbol for the sun.
  • Fire around Annie's hand, refering to her usage of the Blinker stone.
  • A cog-wheel above Kat. Might reference her unique knowledge of machinery.
  • A shadow in the court. Might reference the shadow people in Chapter 22: Ties.
  • Coyote and Ysengrin in the forest, referencing Chapter 20: Coyote Stories.
  • Part of a circle with some scriptures on can be seen in the background.

Notes[]

(copied from Symbols#Treatises):

The seventh treatise (discussion) marks the end of the sixth volume and approximately maps the characters to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life: *immortality and incomprehensible primordial energy at the top, physical universe lower; left column as severity/Boaz, right as Mercy/Jachin;

  • Jones as Understanding/Binah top left;
  • Annie's fire elemental as Wisdom/Chokhmah top right;
  • Anthony Carver as judgement/Gewurah mid-left;
  • Coyote as loving-kindness/Chesed mid-right;
  • Kat gesturing to Knowledge/Da'at upper centre, apparently leading Antimony towards *Balance/Tiferet lower centre to mediate between severity (Court, her father) and mercy (Forest, Coyote);
  • Ysengrim possibly as strength,victory/Netzach lower right;
  • Robot and Shadow/Paz/Reynard at Intellect/Hod lower left;
  • Court, Annan Waters chasm and Forest as a connection/Yesod with Jeanne at the bottom as some kind of vessel or filter/Malkuth. (adapted from http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/post/133466/thread)

  9. The title of this bonus page ("Pro Patria Mori") and the inscription in the final panel ("Dulce et decorum est"), together make up the phrase "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori", Latin for "How sweet and fitting it is to die for one's country". This is from an ode by the Roman poet Horace. The reference on this bonus page is most likely to the poem "Dulce et decorum est", written during World War I by English poet Wilfred Owen, which up ends this sentiment, serving as an early modern anti-war poem.
