Gee, just waht the GG-verse needs is a healthy dose of ]Doc. But what happens when he discovers Agatha's Spark Roast Coffee?

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
I wonder if they managed to loot the 'very shiny thing' off of Tweedle before they left. Looking forward to King Krosp's glorious moment next strip .

I think that Kosp went off to find/rescue his "Dad".

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
They DO seem to be able to get themselves into even more spectacular difficulties than your average cat.
But Krosp is a VERY smart cat. He might be able to avoid disaster. Or cause one that helps Agatha. (We don't know how the Master of Paris is going to react to Agatha. Krosp might be considering he needs to prepare a rescue force...)

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
I think maybe Krosp is going back home to figure out what poppa's true intentions for him were. Krosp always viewed himself as a mistake of science, the product of a very stupid idea... but apparently his poppa thought of him as his greatest masterpiece and even left behind an army for him. Krosp may feel a new sense of purpose, a sense that there is something he should be doing for himself or Poppa, rather than just helping Agatha out.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
No, but it could be that there was more purpose to krosp than he was aware. He was told he was supposed to control cats to use them as spies, but maybe that was just a ruse to make sure the baron wouldn't bother looking for him; or maybe it was just quirky sparkiness on Dim's part. Perhaps the true goal of krosp was to create an animal construct with genius intelligence. All of the animal constructs we have seen only had very basic intelligence; heck they have trouble with speech. I might imagine that trying to enhance an animal's brain to be as smart as human would have a lot of difficulties involved. Krosp however is very intelligent; the possible end goal of Dim's animal construct research. Heck maybe Dr.Dim had sparky dreams of a world ruled by animals that would replace the human race and thus he intended Krosp to be a conquerer and/or a ruler. Its not that krosp has a secret power, but he may have somekind of secret purpose that he isn't aware of
Though i guess if he did have a hidden ability, it could be that his control over cats actaully goes for all animals... and that maybe that control extends to any constructs based on animals. Would be hilarious if Krosp could get the spark wolves to follow him aswell.Last edited by slayerx; 2015-05-06 at 02:36 PM.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
We also don't know what Klaus did to it when he repaired it. It's possible that "suppress Lucrezia" is now its sole function. (He didn't know Agatha was possessed, but he thought she was Lucrezia, and may have redesigned the locket to suppress Lucrezia's thought-processes specifically.)

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
Imagine if it actually WAS suppressing agathas spark still? All this time, she has been running on half power due to the necklace restricting her ability. I. . . I think I just peed a little in terror.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
I believe Agatha actually has thoughts to that effect in the novelization - something along the lines of her still being able to feel the locket trying to suppress her Spark, but that she's learning to work despite its effects.
I'm not sure if I ever want to see what a fully-Sparked, de-Other'd Agatha Heterodyne is capable of.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
If only we had a bit more time before we had to start a new thread. "This bear is driving a train" would have made for a fine thread title.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
Yay, the bear lived! Although given the risk of burning cinders popping out of the firebox and igniting his fur, I don't know for how long.
Agatha doesn't do puns.

I know it was kind of telegraphed, but I'm going to claim a 'totally called it' on Brother Ulm's mind being uploaded into the supertrain.

Might be because it's 3 AM and I'm kind of tired, but Agatha's face in the last panel is cracking me up.

Re: Girl Genius XVIII: Invisible Hand of the Legendary Smoke Knights
It seems that when one becomes a Corbettite monk, his real dream is to actually become a train. Of course, that's mostly impossible, so they devote their lives to driving trains instead. And training the novices, of course.
Guess what spell I cast before posting this message.
