Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
I assumed that Higgs was given an early promotion to the "spymaster" position on the generals' council because he was the best suited, what with being the only non-obviously-a-Jager Jager.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
Higgs explicitly said he became a Jager under Vlad Heterodyne, who was the one who came up with the Jagerdraught in the first place. So, yeah, he's older than Da Boyz. As for why Oggie still calls him "the kid", that currently can only be speculated about.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
Maybe calling him "the kid" is like calling someone who looks younger than their real age "babyface"?

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
I'm pretty sure that this comic contradicts that theory. We see the Heterodyne in panel 2 and pre-Jagerdraught Oggie in panel 4, and they're clearly not the same person.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
He immediately panics when it looks like somebody has realized Higgs is a Jaeger, so no, no explicit acknowledgements of anything.

You know, I wonder how big that horn is going to get. Because if it doesn’t stop, Oggir is looking forward to some epic neck pains.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
That's kind of what I meant - hence the bit in brackets.
Jenka is an interesting case - from her first appearance she is unmistakably a Jager (The eyes, ears and claws for a start, and Faust probably helped a bit) but I suspect that she was very fond of her fangs. So was the Storm King, by the sound of it - anything in a skirt, it seems...
Surely, "Jager" and "Pain in the Neck" are closely related terms.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Specifically Gil's parisian tart decided to cut her out entirely.

The negotiations have taken a turn. Whether for the better or the worse is a matter of your point of view.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
As I understand it, the quality of fish goes "was live when you entered the restaurant">"frozen">"fish that was dead when you entered the restaurant". In other words, while the fish people will probably think the frozen fish is not quite as good as their usual fare, they will probably like it better than if you tried to foist 3-day-old fish on them.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
New comic
Tarvek, just ignore them and take solace in the fact that in German the ones who think alike are stupid.
Or should that be idiots?

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
There is a very clear difference in intent here. Gil is in standard "making jokes at Tarvek's expense" mode and is likely expecting an insult back (And Tarvek will feel better). Tweddle was serious which is an example of his being stupid and arrogant.
