Girl Genius Comic for Monday, January 16, 2023
Added 2023-01-16 02:01:31 +0000 UTCThank you everyone for the lovely birthday wishes! I had a nice time, and my Mom made the kind of cake we all like, with seven minute frosting that gets a little sugar-crunchy on the outside.
Apparently the possibility exists that there are, or at least used to be, dwarves in the Girl Genius world, a thought which strikes me as hilarious. But of course there would be, because I adore the dwarves of fantasy (especially the ones that live in Ankh-Morpork) and so they must be somewhere in everything I do. Not sure yet if they're the above mentioned "Mountain Kings" though. We might think of something we like better at the last minute. We often do.

Of course, some bio-oriented spark might have made dwarves to secure a mineral supply or something.

2023-01-17 00:51:16 +0000 UTCI just assumed it was another clan of Sparks, much like the Heterodynes, but possibly less (in)famous. Of course, that doesn't preclude them being dwarves.

2023-01-16 03:45:49 +0000 UTCRight, he always refers to himself in the third person. There are two instances of that on this very page! EDIT: Oh, I see, you mean he means all of them know Hector, not just he. I'm not sure I've ever heard him refer to a group including himself, using whatever language!

2023-01-16 03:29:52 +0000 UTCIbsen: Okay, so Peer Gynt gets drunk and imagines that there's these trolls that live in fantastic underground palaces. Now these don't exist, mind you, but— Sparks: Hold my beer Ibsen: Wait what, that's not the point Sparks: Okay I've narrowed it down to three mountains to work on . . . Ibsen: No see the point is that the next day— Sparks: . . . so with 400 miners and 30 sculptors working in tandem . . .

2023-01-16 03:20:02 +0000 UTCHe's talking about Hector so they all know him. Or are you pointing out that Humongulus has never said "we" before even when it was appropriate? I've never noticed that, if he has.
2023-01-16 02:52:27 +0000 UTCI LOVE that last line. :D

2023-01-16 02:40:23 +0000 UTCShouldn't that be "Because Humongulus knows one of them" in the last panel?
Brian Harvey
2023-01-16 02:29:32 +0000 UTCI feel like in this world there are definitely both people who would role-play as fantasy dwarves to the point of building themselves their own mountain fortress, and Sparks who would make sure that, within a few generations, Dwarves of the appropriate constitution would exist.

2023-01-16 02:14:10 +0000 UTCI think humongulous gets smarter with each page
