Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response

No mystery what happened. The sub got swallowed by something big and they are inside it.

Good idea Dimo, eat all the food before it gets cold(er).

Then, find out what's holding you and take its hat.

Or turn it into a hat if it doesn't have one.

You mean they are in Whales?

Probably whatever it is that's scaring the sensor guys in the previous strip.

On Agatha's discussion of queens: this got me thinking (and maybe someone else has suggested it), is it possible Lucy found the mirror in Mechanicsburg, tried to use it, and somehow got caught between for what seemed like eons to her? If Agatha's jump of two-and-a-half years was a feature of the mirrors (moving through time as well as space), Lucy could have witnessed various time periods. Freeing herself may have involved interacting with different times.

The main problems with this are that we saw her lab from the time the Other first appeared, and it looked like someone was trying to flee when whatever it was happened. That doesn't work with experimenting with a time mirror and getting trapped in it. The other problem is that we know Lu was working with mind transfer. It seems like whatever she did that made her the Other should tie into her experiments.

I was going to add that it would take colossal stupidity to try and transfer her own mind into a mirror, but we're talking sparks, so who knows? Although, if that did happen, it seems more likely she made some kind of mistake (like trying to transfer her mind under some kind of conditions that transferred her mind into the mirrors by accident).

Agatha's trip through the mirror was borked by Klaus hitting the button on the time freeze bomb at the same time. They even did a fancy interwoven panel to show us that.

Something with a severe case of aerophagia, then. Because normally in a digestive tract, you don't get breathable air, you get highly corrosive liquids. And air should be even less expected for deep sea creatures.

[Rogar Demonblud]

An air tank or five probably ruptured, and whatever the beastie is hasn't had a chance to belch up the gas.

[geoduck]

And whatever-it-is doesn't have to be organic.

Any other good variations?

Apparently it's got a really, really dry stomach, too, given all they can see on the ground is rocks and dirt...

[Manga Shoggoth]

Well, we may be able to absolve the Chef of being a spark - he does seem to have some grasp of reality, even if it is viewed via food.

He got a point.
Who or whatever is coming is unlikely to kill them gruesomely while they're eating.
Before and afterwards though?
Good running.

I don’t see where you’re coming from there. They don’t even have tails.

[PraetorDragoon]

Those look like friendly fellows.

[Traab]

Its a Star Power crossover.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Looks kind of like that one episode in season five of Samurai Jack.

You can only see them from the front, so who knows what they have going on back there?

[HandofShadows]

Usually I know where/why stuff is being do in a story. But I still can't figure this out. There's a lot more to this.

[wingnutx]

Perhaps they know why Britain is sinking.

Trogulous made a vague reference to something being down in the temple under the now-destroyed dome, even before the Gray Hoods started poking around. Maybe the blast shifted or freed this group somehow.

"The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth
On board were the Twelve
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called gods of our legends
Though gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice, sing, dance and ring in the new age
Hail Atlantis!

Way down below the ocean (below the ocean)
Where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean (below the ocean, way down, way down)
Where I wanna be (where I wanna be), she may be (she may be)!"

I was thinking more "Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs/Upon the slimy sea". But then, I'm old. really old...

I was also thinking "Why, this looks like a two-page spread and they've only printed one page. Don't they usually publish both when that happens?", but that's a boring thought.
