    Default Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition

    It is a world ruled by Mad Science! Things happen. Usually, they happen to other people. This is entertainment. That's when the front door gets blown in- And you belatedly realize that, once again, you are doomed to be the entertainment in another exciting installment of: GIRL GENIUS!

    Many elegant, finely-crafted, and vintage links follow:

    Links to Previous Threads


    Comic Links
    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    Mirror of the comic found on LiveJournal (No longer being updated as of Mid-May, 2017)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)
    Kaja & Phil's Personal Facebook Page (Not currently being updated)
    A twitter account that basically is a catch-all feed for Girl Genius related news.
    Cheyenne Wright's Twitter and LiveJournal Accounts (The colorist's twitter and LJ pages)

    And finally,
    Phil's old LJ page. (Occasionally contains crossposts from the Wordpress website)

    ====

    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:
    1. Right click the comic image.
    2. Select view image or copy paste the image location into the address bar.
    3. Modify the date to be the day you're trying to look at. (ex. 20120111 -> 20120113)
    4. Go to the modified url.
    5. Be disappointed when there's no early comic to read.
    6. Alternately, enjoy the comic!

    Are those lamp replicas of Agatha's goant holographic message? They better hope she doesn't find out about this.

    Or possibly of the statues that Gil set up on the wall around the times-stopped Mechanicsburg. Probably more people have seen those, and perhaps they weren't all destroyed when Agatha re-took the town.

    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...)

    I could see Van convincing her that they'll be really popular with the tourist, and just about the whole world already saw the image anyway...

    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).

    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.

    In the play, at least as staged by the Circus, the Boys end things in possession of a large striped pole.

    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.
