Link to current comic and link to the beginning of the strip. (Updates MWF, usually after Midnight [Eastern Time])
The Continuing Adventures of Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer! (back on hiatus, may update in the future)
A compilation (and much easier to read if you're just catching up) of the first three chapters can be found here at the GG website.
And if one goes to snapbird.org and types in "Othar" in the 'Who?' field, all of Othar's adventures can be read on one page (albiet in reverse order of posting - Now must have a Twitter account to use).
Mirror of the comic found on LiveJournal (No longer being updated as of Mid-May, 2017)
Mirror of the comic found on Facebook (Will occasionally have Girl Genius related news)
And one can find mirrors of Girl Genius on deviantArt as well. (Occasionally Kaja will put up or link to interesting GG related art that is found on dA)
Reference Links
Wiki Project devoted to to Girl Genius
Wikipedia entry on Girl Genius.
TV Tropes page on Girl Genius.
The Secret Blueprints (NOTE: Contains background information on the GG Universe, so it should probably be read after "catching up" to the newest comic, as it contains many spoilers.)
Social Media and News Links
Phil Foglio's new Wordpress art, news, and blogging website.
Kaja Foglio's LJ Page and Studio Foglio News LJ Page (Not currently being updated)

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!

It looks like they do sell replica keys at the gift shop.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Are those lamp replicas of Agatha's goant holographic message? They better hope she doesn't find out about this.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Well, the old padre looks younger - having a new Heterodyne has obviously taken years off him.
(Or he's retired and his replacement is aging well...)Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
The arms on the Mechanicsburg statues are out as a warning to stay away, these are positioned more welcoming and the dress is more similar to the hologram. Of course the thing is an amalgamation designed to appeal to tourists, so whatever sells
That looks like a makers mark on the back of the capstone clanks head (Heterodyne trilobite probably, hard to make out the details), good place to hide a keyhole.
"Before the Lady Heterodyne we lay prostrate in fear - all others PAY CASH!" Heh, a play on the old phrase "In God we trust, all others pay cash!" which meant they don't take credit or checks, just hard, cold cash (unless you're God, or in this case, the Heterodyne).This post hand crafted by a synapse cluster which also processes nuts, shellfish, alcohol, sarcasm, gluten, puns, MSG, caffeine, ennui, grains, tree pollen, abstract logic, GMO, petroleum byproducts, webcomics, 70's-80's sitcom theme music, pet dander, dubstep and EDM, aspartame, every Monty Python episode and movie, MCU, DCU, asbestos, sugar, LotR, ST, SW, PotC, lead, discworld, electric swing, latex, and Disney IPs as well as other controlled substances.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Race to the West Pole is one of the Heterodyne Boys plays. It's the first one Agatha acts in when she's with the Circus. Whether there really is a West Pole that the Boys raced to is another matter. Given how weird the GG universe is, it probably does exist. Although as we've seen, the actual truth of the Boys quest is probably far different from what made it to the stage. The Baron probably wasn't hit in the face by a pie for a start.
Then again...

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
In the play, at least as staged by the Circus, the Boys end things in possession of a large striped pole.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Wasn't it Theo who confirmed that that one was (partly) true?

Nope, one of the other students on Castle Wulfenbach. I don't remember his name.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.

At least according to the Wiki page, Zâmî Yahyâ Ahmad ibn Sulimân al-Sinhâjî (aka Z) - I assume that's based on the novels, but they're upstairs and I'm downstairs.
