Honestly, at this point I don’t even really think about it. This is how I get the latest Girl Genius graphic novel (An Entertainment In Londinium). This is the system.
Note, by the way, that they have their adult kid handling doing the videos now. Just in case you weren’t feeling OLD.
I said it best on Twitter, really:
My copy of GURPS GIRL GENIUS was printed in Belgium, too, which was a relief. And I hate that this has to be a consideration, these days. It should be fully available in a few days. But I get it now!
I’ve only been waiting for GURPS GIRL GENIUS for what, almost a decade now? Grumble grumble spraining fingers to back…
I figure the over/under on time to fund will be about twenty-five minutes. Two hours if they’re actually going to need to fund the entire print run.
I wonder how fast it’ll fund. Depends on the amount, I guess. Anything under twenty grand, blink and you’ll miss it. But if they’re trying to pre-fund a print run, it’ll be higher, and that’ll take longer. Like, say, a day.

Funny story: an earlier version of the Sparks and Monsters: a Girl Genius Graphic Novel Kickstarter was up a few days earlier, but they took it down right away (probably there was a technical issue). By the time I could navigate the link there was no pledge button… but I continued to bat at the screen with my mouse, wondering why I couldn’t get it to work, and for far too long. In my defense, though, it was after midnight.
I did not have this problem this time.

PS: Funded first day, too. And there’s nothing like watching the numbers go up, let me tell you. Although I’m sure it’s old hat to the Foglios by now…
The full title is Girl Genius: The Second Journey of Agatha Heterodyne Volume 3: The Incorruptible Library, which is a bit of a mouthful. I always pick up my volumes via Kickstarter, but it’s also available on Amazon if you happen to be one of those poor unfortunates who didn’t manage to get on that already. It’s the usual pretty book with entertaining steampunk mad science adventures; so if you did do the Kickstarter, look to your mailboxes.
I typically pick up these graphic novels as soon as Studio Foglio Kickstarts them, and Girl Genius Volume 16 is no exception. Girl Genius has been going on since… wow. I can’t remember when I wasn’t reading Girl Genius online. According to Wikipedia they started the comic in 2001 and put it online in 2005, which means that I’ve been reading it religiously for sixteen years. ‘Course, I’ve been reading Phil Foglio himself for almost thirty.
Because I’m OLD. Or at least getting there. Anyway, good series, check it out.
…huh. Darned if I know what this post was supposed to be about. I therefore declare this post to be about this line:
These are no ordinary subterranean mecha-narwhals!
(pause)
Guess that you had to be there.
