Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
"Thanks, chump!"
Is Zeetha about to make a connection? (Probably not - that's more than tenuous - but it might be enough to plant the seed).Last edited by PoeticallyPsyco; 2020-10-14 at 03:43 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
The thing with Agatha was an offshoot of the original plan. His family setup the zola deal to have a "heterodyne" the storm king could marry to give them legitimacy in the eyes of the people, because thats what the setup was for the original storm king. When he did the touch of the king thing, I dont believe he was aware of the time skip yet so he was enforcing the plan by enslaving the actual heterodyne to his will. He literally threw it together overnight with one hand cut off, so its not surprising there are bugs with it. Not that he would have likely noticed for a long time had she not managed to escape. As for being stuck in england, I dont think that was his choice. Im pretty sure seffie put him in stasis and dragged him to england to get to agatha. Im really not sure why she didnt bring any of his people with him, maybe to keep his infirmity a secret? And he kind of HAS to kill tarvek. if word gets around that someone with a superior claim to the throne is there and also wants the throne, it will make things very very messy. (doubly so since he has a connection to the heterodyne)
His greatest strengths are political games backed by overwhelming lethality. He sees things in big power moves rather than subtlety. Hence the whole show in paris where he had the big plan thrown together to establish his right to the throne backed by a sparky parade celebration, or getting one of the popes to back him to put pressure on the corbittes. We also see that he personally is a very lethal man both in dealing with the attempts on his life by his family, and dealing with gil and bang who, while loopy from lack of sleep, is still a very dangerous and deadly woman. He doesnt really use clanks, he does biological sparky weapons which makes him fairly unique among sparks as his first response isnt to build a death ray or giant robot, its to genetically engineer a solution."Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Here and here are couple examples. The first is Zeetha referencing techniques leaned in Skif. The other is Zeetha being nervous that Gil might remember something. It's not stated clearly, but there is a lot of subtext to what Zeetha does and how she acts around Gil. Also to be sure Zeetha does know for certain Klaus is her father and he knows Zeetha is his kid. But for some reason Klaus isn't telling Gil about it all.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
While I don't get where this certainty is coming from (novels?), it is very odd that Zeetha, knowing that Klaus even speaks Skifandrian, isn't asking Gil to have someone search in his papers for the location of Skifander. So she might know more than she allows Gil (and anyone else?) to know.
The impression I got here, however, is that Klaus thinks that Zeetha is an assassin sent to kill Gil, no need for her to be his sister (unless there's a specific Skifandrian law about it). However, he probably would have wondered about her being his daughter, if only because he knew it was possible.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
See here...
The missing part to all this is that the Skifandrans think twins are unlucky, and the implication is that when Klaus fled Skifander he was doing it to keep Gil alive. So, when he discovers a Skifandran with Agatha He thought Zeetha might have been sent to kill Gill.
Of course, Zeetha hadn't, and she has spent long enough outside Skifander to lose the "twins = bad" part of the equation, and by the time she meets Gil she is just thinking in terms of "Hey - little brother!"
Klaus intended to tell Gil what was going on afterwards, but afterwards never had a chance to materialise.
EDIT: In the novel it is clear (more so than in the comic) that Klaus doesn't want to kill Zeetha, so it is very likley that he knows who Zeetha is to him.Last edited by Manga Shoggoth; 2020-10-14 at 12:20 PM.

New comic is up and yup Krosp is a cat 100% confirmed. From personal experience, my cats aren't quite so daring to eat a sandwich out of my hands while I'm still eating it, but they also aren't bipedal or as sapient/intelligent as Krosp.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
This whole conversation between Klaus and Gil is one of my favorite scenes in the comics. Specifically the page you linked with Gil going all "What did you do?" and earlier the Baron pondering if all the female sparks trying to kill him might have been his fault. Their exchange about Bang at the end was also nice.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
I do not have the novels, but I can imagine that it would be very difficult to translate that picture language to text. The thing is, each picture from Bang conveys a simple meaning and it works well for a conversation, where she cannot use words (or talk at all). How do you use words to describe a dialog with no words? Tricky task.

It would be really cool if the Foglios had two versions of the comic. One with the Object Permanence book and one where the title doesn't change.
Then write a script that swaps the page at random intervals. They could drive quite a few folks crazy before people start taking screenshots to prove what they'd done.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
To be honest, they never went into this kind of trolling, but I remember that McNinja did not as well and then there was that one page
Spoilerwhich has an animated Dracula sneaking up on Doctor McNinja.
There are also comic authors that are known and to a degree expected to pull off those kind of pranks on their audience.
Monty Python at least once made a vinyl album with two separate grooves on the B side obviously without any information about that, which created quite a confusion.
Still, the best example of exactly this kind of a prank was the movie Clue, which was made with three different endings and obviously anyone going to a movie theater would see only one of those, but would have no idea that there are more versions. Surely made the discussions about the movie interesting.In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
I dunno. That's not two views of the same globe, one centred on the Atlantic (showing the Americas, Western Europe, Atlantis and some Arctic continent) and the other on Europe (Arctic continent now ice-bound joining Europe to the Americas)? Sure, they've taken a bite out of Eastern Africa, and China seems to be missing, but the place where Atlantis would be is hidden by the speech bubble in the current comic.

Is it an impression, or they never interrogated Tarvek and Martellus about the Mirrors?

It looks like asia is connected to africa by a sizeable land chain. Almost as is the east half of africa was peeled up and connected to asia as a land bridge. Also looks like significant parts of southern europe were destroyed.

The planisphere doesn't need to represent the world as it is during the events of the comic. It could also represent how the world used to be, or how its maker thought the world looked.

I notice a fair sized chunk of the Middle East is gone and India doesn't appear to be connected to the rest of Asia. In fact, it looks as though the Himalayas aren't there either. So I suspect that globe is a few million years out of date.
