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!

Is it just me, or is Bang posing like she's part of the exhibition?

Well, she did disguise herself as a regular pirate when she was sneaking in on the Mopey Tortoise. It could just be that Queen's Privateers have to put in a little time in the museum when they're in port.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Perhaps she has realised how empty her life will be after her revenge quest, and is setting up another ongoing interest for the public good.
Or perhaps I need some sleep. That sounds more likley.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

If I had to guess, she's trying to stalk Zeetha and learn more about her habits, and failing. Because, well, Bangladesh Dupree.

I wonder if the price tag is plot relevant or just a quaint little detail.

I'm pretty sure Bang is planning on some other filling with Vole once the revenge thing is out of the way.

Gil sounds like so many little brothers I've heard yelling at the big sister. Those really are found family, even if they'd probably rather be eaten by rabid mimmoths than admit it.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
For an absolutely insane murderous psychopath, Bang is an amazingly likeable character.
Also, Tarvek, you've been stabbed how many times now? You need to bump up your con score or something if that's enough to knock you flat.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Who was asking for Buck Godot earlier? Looks like the PDFs have just been added to goodies for the Rain Games Girl Genius game Kickstarter, at the $30 backer mark - along with Girl Genius Volume 1-20 PDFs.
I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Bang is a Axe Crazy Genki Girl who is always Affably Evil. Considering that Bang knows she has to control herself a bit while in England it seems that there has been some kind arrangement made and Bang probably wouldn't go around slaughtering English crews. And really wouldn't go after Crown expeditions like the one that found Skif.
You know, we never really did find out why some of the conspirators wanted to know Skif's location.

So either Bang really likes that particular makeup, or someone really did very seriously cut her throat once.
I wonder who.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Yes, Bang is clearly not acting when she acts like a sociopath.
Gil is embarrassed, but Agatha is not having it. In fact, I'd say Agatha is already starting to suspect something.
And I'll reiterate - Tarvek is a master of sneaky. Unless Bang has gotten help from someone on Tarvek's level, he's going to spot her plot any minute now.
Madwa or Grandma. Or Albia, of course, but I think Albia would have strong opinions about someone offing a member of the Skifander royal family in England. In fact, I think Bang has to get Zeetha out of England if she wants to kill her and live.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Bang knows this group very well, particularly Gil. She knows attempts at kidnapping or an ambush would most likely result in her having to fight everyone, and losing badly. No, I'm thinking she's going through all this trouble to make her move above the board, get the Empires official pirate guild on her side and then use their rules to get Zeetha into a regulated and 'fair' (for pirates anyway) 1 on 1 combat with no outside interference allowed. That would be her best shot.
