Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?

[Willie the Duck]

You are assuming you can actually hit something while blazing away with your entire ammo loadout. You can't. And that's assuming you're shooting in the right place and not at some decoy.

Before we keep going down this pointless road (and I'll remind you that you were the one to start calling others idiots), exactly what point are you actually trying to make? That IRL overkill isn't actually a universal solution to problems? Because I think everyone knows that.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Kantaki quoted one of the Maxims to snark me. I snarked back. We had a fun time busting each other's chops. Would you rather we had a pun off?

Tbh it read more like Kantaki snarking and you "internet tough guy"-ing; not knowing either of you (but knowing Schlock), I thought you didn't recognize the maxims at all. If it's all in good fun, though, I say carry on.

[Kantaki]

No one wants a pun off.
The SAN-damage would be too high.

But yeah, just having fun there.
I just had to comment on the mining explosives.
(Irregular Webcomics is awesome by the way )

[Rogar Demonblud]

Pretty much everything the Irregulars do is awesome. The rest are merely superb.

[PraetorDragoon]

So, how many pages do people think it will take before chaos happens? My bet is three.

[Kantaki]

So far everything seems fine.
And as long as the ruse keeps working and no one messes up or interferes...
Yeah, three pages sounds about right.

four pages gives us a nice cliff hanger next friday

[Kantaki]

four pages gives us a nice cliff hanger next friday

So would one page.
Also, there might be a double page.
Those only count once

[Rogar Demonblud]

I'm going to take the long shot and say seven, since I'm pretty sure we'll have more of the larger crowd-shot panels for a bit.

[Manga Shoggoth]

If they are deep sea how does he know what a grunion is? And he's already been for a run.

[Fyraltari]

If they are deep sea how does he know what a grunion is?

The same way he speaks the language of the protagonists I would imagine.

[TaRix]

Hey, whales gotta breathe too. Eventually. Unless they've scienced that away somehow.

[Kantaki]

Hey, whales gotta breathe too. Eventually. Unless they've scienced that away somehow.

Is it bad that I immediatly thought about the how?

Maybe a garden in/around the lungs (or whatever leviathanian Horrors from the stygian depths use to breath)?

[Rogar Demonblud]

Still need a source of insolation, since the sunlight can't penetrate the whale's skin.

[SZbNAhL]

Still need a source of insolation, since the sunlight can't penetrate the whale's skin.

If they go deep enough, they could use heat from volcanic vents.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Still going to have a problem getting through the whale.

[PraetorDragoon]

Still going to have a problem getting through the whale.

Leaving through the blowhole is a time-honored tradition.

[PraetorDragoon]

I am surprised as well. I had fully expected there to be one weapon hidden "just in case".

[Kantaki]

I want to point out that it would have been a Darwin-Award worthy idiocy, but well... Sparks.

Edit: Also, the merfolk can't tell the landlubbers apart.
I feel with them.

[HandofShadows]

There probably is a weapon there, but isn't a fancy sparky weapon. Something simple like a knife.

[ChowGuy]

Knife?? Why, when a fork is So much more versatile

[DavidSh]

Knife?? Why, when a fork is So much more versatile

All Agatha really needs is a wrench.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Well, we just had proof the Deepfolk are familiar with Sparks. And are surprisingly practical. They must meet Von Zinzer.

[Rockphed]

Von Zinzer somehow went back in time and became their god.

[Manga Shoggoth]

Von Zinzer somehow went back in time and became their god.

Naah. We know they worship Whales, and Moloch is from the wrong part of Europa.

[PraetorDragoon]

No flaming ball of fire and exposition time! Things are going well.

... too well...

[Traab]

I expect we will next discover that they are well aware that she isnt a fish woman. This was all a setup for some reason to meet the heterodyne and also to test her a bit.

[Kantaki]

I think they know.

[factotum]

Yeah, their wording in that strip heavily implied they knew the tail was a device, not part of Agatha.
