…himself. It must be tricky, coming up with ways to utterly sabotage the commands coming from the alien mind control device in your head while at the same time appearing to be following its orders to the letter.
Although, to be fair: “following orders to the letter” is one of the classic sabotage methods.
Heh-heh-heh. If you don’t follow Girl Genius… well, tsk, tsk, tsk. Suffice it to say that the guy being steadily loaded down with people being rescued in that panel is a fellow predisposed by genetics, training, and perhaps just a little bit by inclination to be the sort of Mad Scientist who doubles as a shadowy ninja cult leader. Only there’s this girl…
I was just remarking to my wife that we hadn’t seen you in the comic for a while; and there you are. You fit in… surprisingly well, really.

PS: Nice hat.
PPS: The Girl Genius store.
Punchline to today’s Girl Genius. Man, I love these guys…
…but I’m starting to wonder when the webcomic is going to actually reach some sort of climax. I think that we’re somewhere in Act III, or maybe the beginning of Act IV; and the Foglios are very, very good at this sort of thing. Still, if they were thinking about dragging it out I would argue that they shouldn’t, largely because I’d rather see the comic get wrapped up rather than lose any quality.
Yeah, I know, I know: who asked me?
That’s just… ow. OW. Don’t do that.
But I’ll believe it when I see proof. This is, after all, Girl Genius: which is to say, a comic about Mad Scientists going out and warping reality and destroying the local landscape in order to get a better lemon scone.
(Warning: the below assumes you follow the Girl Genius webcomic – and, really: if you’re not, well, let’s just say that your unfortunate condition is in fact treatable.)
That’s a pretty innocuous statement to have a sneering grin like that associated with it…
Oh.
Ohhhhhh.
Yah, yah, hyu iz kind of screwed there, mine friend.
…about the events in this Girl Genius comic if it weren’t for the fact that it almost certainly happened before the events in this Girl Genius comic.
And, yes, if I am ignorant of any way that this potential temporal paradox can be reconciled with the loss of one of my favorite Girl Genius characters… well, I treasure that ignorance, thanks.
…of the Girl Genius
It’s not that the Male Love Interest #1 is lying; he’s not. It’s not that MLI #2 is accusing MLI #1 of lying; he’s not. It’s not even that MLI #1 did bring back Heroine’s family from the grave as a romance gambit.
It’s that it’s a recognized romance gambit. One that’s been done, ah, to death…
Despite their ultimately-sincere protestations to the contrary, it’s a well-deserved award: Girl Genius
Again, congratulations.
