Q: What is this "Sneaky Gate" y'alls go on about?
Sneaky gate: Named from this hidden gate in comic, it has become a name for viewing new comics early. Remember, if you're going to discuss the new comic, put it in spoiler boxes until the release time (12am EST).
Sneaky Gate 101:
- Right click the comic image.
- Select view image or copy paste the image location into the address bar.
- Modify the date to be the day you're trying to look at. (ex. 20120111 -> 20120113)
- Go to the modified url.
- Be disappointed when there's no early comic to read.
- Alternately, enjoy the comic!

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Actually, that reminds me. The story is in England in the (sort of) Victorian era, and we've seen plenty of guards in busbys (and similar), but not seen anything like the traditional policeman in any of the backgrounds (including the street scenes). Obviously not an absolute requirement of course, but an odd omission.

Even "this bear" who has had almost no contact with Tweedle, doesn't buy it. His rep is that bad I guess.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
"This Bear" is actually speaking in a manner that is appropriate in the vernacular; his middle name is "This Bear".

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
It's complete and utter Anarchy most of the time. They're such Barbearians.
He is, unfortunately, the third best candidate for the Storm King's crown we've seen after Seffie and Tarvek, if only because he's vaguely sane in the "would not kill everyone for minor issues that should be resolved diplomatically" department and has periodic bouts of decency.Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-07-23 at 10:26 PM.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Going to point out the obvious that Martellus could have been telling the literal truth (that Krosp knows he can't control him) and still be trying to deceive him (he may know that Krosp is wrong).
