Girl Genius
Volume summary: Volume 11 of Act 2

The chronology pages describe the comics to assist scholars in finding the page on which something occurred. For each page of the comic, the chronology pages identify the characters that appear, actions taken, significant quotes, and other things of interest. Page numbers from the website are zero padded to three digits and in parentheses, for example: (005), (061), (113). Page numbers from print volumes are neither, for example: 5, 61, 113. Section titles are from the canon unless otherwise noted.

For historical reasons, volumes 1 (I) through 13 (XIII) are usually identified with Roman numerals on the Girl Genius chronology pages and elsewhere in the wiki. From volume 14 on, the story entered a new "act" and the volume numbers started over, in Arabic numbers, proceeded by a "2-". For example, overall volume 15 is given as volume 2-2 on chronology pages.

For a partial timeline of the events in the comic, see Internal Chronology. For more information on the double-page spreads in this volume, see double-page spreads in Girl Genius. For more information on special pages in this volume, see the list of special pages, notes, and annotations.

Gil, Red-headed Communications Officer, Tarvek, Airship Officer, Scarf and Goggles, Bang
Gil, commanding a fleet of Wulfenbach airships, is heading towards the site where some Wulfenbach ground troops are surrounded by the forces of the Polar Lords and are in danger of being overwhelmingly defeated. He worriedly asks if there are any new dispatches from General Banks, the commander of the surrounded Wulfenbach ground forces, and is astonished to hear that the tide of the battle has turned because Agatha is there. Agatha was being transported on one of Albia's airships, part of a fleet that came to the aid of the Wulfenbach forces under General Banks, and has melted the Polar Lords' commander and spoken to another monster, causing the Polar Lords' forces to retreat north on their Ice Ark. Tarvek, who is accompanying Gil, says that if they had known Agatha was with the surrounded forces, they wouldn't have needed to mount such a large rescue effort. Then both he and Bang, who is captaining Gil's fleet, point out to Gil that continuing to call it a rescue fleet will be awkward when they arrive.
Gil: "Of course…but…they're retreating? What did Agatha say to them anyway?"
Tarvek: "Who knows? Pity we didn't know she'd be there—we could have left half this armament back in Mechanicsburg."
Bang: "Oh, but now you can impress her with this nice big rescue party, yeah?"
Tarvek: "Sure but…we might want to call it something else."

Gil, Bang, and Tarvek receive reports and issue orders. Agatha wants a cold storage unit; Gil says to give it to her. A lookout reports that the storm is clearing ahead, Band says send out scouts anyway. Further reports: communications are almost back to normal, casualties are light. Tarvek asks for an estimate on the number of abandoned Polar Lord troops. A request to look out for the HMS Boggart is received from Captain Sunhillow.
Mister Griggs: "Herr Baron! Another message from General Banks! The Lady Heterodyne is apparently demanding…uh…the biggest cold storage unit we can lay our hands on?"
Gil: "See to it, Mister Griggs."
Weather Spotter: "Storm ahead is easing up, Captain!"
Bang: "Yeah? Send a couple scout buzzers ahead anyway. I don't want any icy surprises."

Gil interrupts Tarvek and reminds everyone that there is a huge creature looming over Mechanicsburg that has to be dealt with and they have no idea of how to combat it, if necessary. Krosp warns that restoring the time flow might cause other unexpected effects, especially, as Tarvek adds, triggering experiments of the Old Heterodynes. Agatha wants to restart time at the same time of day, to minimize shock and panic in the inhabitants of the town, but they all immediately realize that the enormous creature towering overhead will cause that by itself.
Gil: "We've got that huge creature emerging from the dimensional rift. It would be smart to move our troops and allies into position—just in case it's suddenly closer than we think it is. I've had people working on it, but they only started recently. I still don't know if anything we've got will even work if that thing attacks."

Agatha, Tarvek, and Gil, accompanied by Othar, encounter a very tired Van, who has apparently been drinking a lot of coffee. Next to Van some Geisterdamen are sampling coffee and don't seem to care for it. Agatha tells Van she will wait until everyone has rested and plans and preparations can be made before attempting to free Mechanicsburg; he is surprised and relieved to hear it. As Van prepares to get himself and his young aide off to bed, Seffie comes in and offers everyone a nightcap. Gil turns her down but Agatha, to Seffie's chagrin, accepts, saying they really should talk.
Van: "Lady Heterodyne! So? What are your plans?"
Agatha: "Ah! Herr von Mekkhan! We'll let everyone get some rest, and tomorrow, we'll have some preparations to make. When everything is good and ready, then we'll go in, and with luck, release the town."

Seffie, Agatha, ~Gil[34], ~Agatha[34], ~Tarvek[34],
Seffie and Agatha talk. Seffie hopes that she and Agatha can be friends, despite Agatha's conflicts with her brother, Martellus. Agatha asks about Martellus' whereabouts. Seffie responds that she expected to find him in Mechanicsburg, but since he isn't there, he is probably out trying to convince his family to support his bid to be Storm King and kill off anyone who stands in his way. Agatha angrily asks if Tarvek is still a target and Seffie quickly and emphatically insists that no one in her family would dare hurt Tarvek now, but that rogue assassins could still be a threat. At Agatha's prompting, Seffie goes on to say that Tarvek has some support in her family and would have more if Martellus was no longer a factor. But she also says she loves Martellus, despite his flaws, and doesn't want him to be killed; she is there to help settle things with as little bloodshed as possible. Agatha endorses this idea and Seffie marvels at how un-Heterodyne-like Agatha is.
Seffie: "It's one of the reasons I'm here—to try to help settle all this trouble without too much more unnecessary blood!"
Agatha: "I appreciate that."

Zeetha, Agatha, Violetta, Seffie
Zeetha and Violetta join Agatha and Seffie. The newcomers have just returned from visiting the nearby caverns where the residents of Mechanicsburg who weren't trapped when the town was frozen in time have been hiding. (The caverns have proved a very effective hideout; the Polar Lords never even noticed them.) They bring a cake from Lilith, which they serve up, while helping themselves to wine. Zeetha reports that airships are approaching from all over, but the oupost commanders don't seem worried. It turns out Seffie knows all about them; the airships are from current and former allies (who are considering rejoining the Wulfenbach Empire). She has talked to all the leaders behind the approaching airships; the experience was so tedious that even thinking about it makes her call for more wine and cake.
Zeetha: "What, no menacing the countryside? Your townspeople will be so disappointed!"

Colette is the next person to join the party. She receives a warm welcome from everyone, but especially from Seffie, and not just because she arrives with more wine. Agatha expresses her gratitude that Colette has come from Paris to help defend Mechanicsburg; Colette denies any altruism, saying the Other and the Polar Lords are a universal threat. Zeetha expresses admiration that Colette was able to help send the Polar Lords fleeing, even though she was so far from her center of power in Paris. But Colette directs the attention of Zeetha and the rest to the window, where the flying Awful Tower and a large contingent of giant Parisian clanks can be seen, commenting that she brought Paris with her.
Agatha: "Welcome! Gil said you were here—thank you for coming! To actually leave your city to defend mine—"
Colette: "Oh, chérie! The Other and the Polar Lords, they threaten us all. —But they are running straight north now. I have helped see to that."
Zeetha: "I'm impressed! I thought your main source of power was your city! How did you leave Paris behind and still fight a bunch of monsters?"
Colette: "Ha ha! It is as the poets say—'When Paris is in your heart—you take her with you wherever you go!' For me, it is somewhat more true than most. Voilà! Observe my mighty clank army and tremble!"
Zeetha: "Whoa! I've got to read more poetry!"

Deathwish DuPree, Agatha
Deathwish DuPree! (Dashing Pirate King of the High Skies) Wants you to check out our new Kickstarter campaign! In the Studio News: section, Kaja recounts a great deal of the history of Deathwish DuPree both within the world of Girl Genius and ouside it. Only the portion explaining why there is a filler page featuring Deathwish is quoted here:

"Because we’ve been running ourselves ragged trying to get our latest Kickstarter campaign launched (it’s already funded, by the way!) we don’t actually have the next page finished, so we though you might like to know a little bit about ol’ Deathwish here instead, because we think he‘s fun, and because this volume deals with Londinium, and they have pirates and stuff, and...well, yeah. We don’t have the page ready and we had this art. So here goes!"

Studio News: (from Kaja): Our new Girl Genius Kickstarter campaign is live and has already funded, all the reprint stretch goals have been hit, and the Bundles are now complete! Not only that, I've added a crazy stretch goal: if we reach $200,000 I'll not only print the new volume 21, I'll print volume 22 at the same time, and it will go into the Second Journey and Epic bundles just as it should. I'll also do a bookplate, bookmark and PDF for it, to go with the PDF pile and Envelope of Madness, which is starting to look positively respectable! Ok, I don't think we're going to hit that goal, but it sure would be nifty. The book files are pretty close to being ready to go so it wouldn't even be that much terrible work!

Using the power of Agatha's staff (aka Lady Heterodyne's Star aka Prende's Chronometric Lantern), Our Heroes move through the time-stopped region of Mechanicsburg to escape from Bohrlaikha. They speculate about what will happen when the whole city is restarted. Will the big clank kill them all or can the Castle stop her? As Agatha warns them all to stay together, Zeetha becomes fascinated by a display in a shop window and gets left behind in the time-freeze field until Agatha goes back to retrieve her.

Dreen, Agatha
Agatha and one of the Dreen have reached a high platform on the roof of the Red Cathedral, the location from which the Dreen will attack their quarry. Agatha and the Dreen have a discussion about determinism vs. free will.
Dreen: "Yes, this is where I must be."
Agatha: "How much of the future is predetermined?"
Dreen: "Why, none of it."
Agatha: "Then why do you keep talking like you know what will happen?"
Dreen: "Ah. You will not understand—and then you will be angry."
Agatha: "Try me."
Dreen: "Fine. Any outcome is possible. Some outcomes are…more possible than others. In this place we can see many possibilities—as well as what must be done to ensure the outcome we desire."
Agatha: "Well, that…actually seems fairly straightforward."
Dreen: "I knew that you would not understand."
Agatha: "What?! But I—"
Dreen: "And now I am correct yet again."

The cards look so good that they decided to run a little campaign for them. We are very pleased.

After that we are heading to the National Cartoonist's Society annual Reuben Awards, so Phil can talk to other cartoonists in person. We'll be taking a little three-page break from the Girl Genius story in there, because our time ran out and we still aren't packed, but soon we'll be home and working hard again!

A feline dungeon party with a rogue, magic user, fighter, and cleric (and dragon)
The dungeon-crawling cats encounter a cat-dragon cat napping on its hoard and the rogue shows how easy it is to steal its treasure.

Text in the black border above page image which is part of the image.
Almost exactly a year ago, Kaja started posting posting cat drawings by Phil as bonus content for Girl Genius Patreon patrons (behind a paywall). The first set was posted on the Girl Genius Patreon page for the Girl Genius Comic for Friday, August 25, 2023. On that page, Kaja commented:

Today I thought it would be fun to show you some sketches from a thing Phil and I have been amusing ourselves with. It's a bunch of D&D-flavored cats. A dungeon clowder. A bunch of puurdurr hoboes. Phil loves cats and always has fun drawing them, and I love his cat drawings. I don't know what we're going to do with these guys just yet, probably some cute pins or something, and these are very initial sketches, but I thought you'd like to see the whole thing as we work on it. Don't worry, we're not likely to take another bunch of months off Girl Genius to go on another dungeon crawl, but that's where our heads have been lately.

Krosp, Martellus, The Empress, Norville
As Krosp walks off to do "terribly important things" (getting an annoyed glance from Martellus), the Empress stops him by asking exactly what he is going to do. Krosp's reply doesn't satify her, so he asks her to come along and see for herself. The Empress agrees, hoping to see him make a fool of himself. She follows Krosp on a sneaky roundabout journey, during which he steals a jar. They end up in a room with Norville, who has made a great many sandwiches. The jar Krosp purloined turns out to be full of "fishy pickles", the final ingredient needed to make Norville's "cheesydog" sandwiches truly delicious. Even the Empress is impressed and the three start gorging themselves.
Norville: "Fishy pickles are very important! You can't eat my special cheesydog sandwiches without fishy pickles!"
Fishy Pickles (aka Terribly Important Things), Cheesydog Sandwiches Studio News: (from Kaja): COMING SOON: Magic the Gathering tokens with art by Phil! You can sign up to be notified when OMA's mini-Kickstarter campaign for the set goes live! The cards look so good that they decided to run a little campaign for them. We are very pleased.

Now that the last of the Volume 20 International shipments are out (more on that will be posted soon on the Volume 20 Kickstarter updates page) I'm gearing up to do a little mini-crowdfund project for some of our exclusive medals and other pointy-pinnish items. I might try a few different platforms just to see what life is like outside Kickstarter, but before I do any of that I need to get the designs finished! So more on that later.
I'll be back to streaming vidya games on Wednesdays, and I'm trying to figure out how to set up my camera to stream some of my painting as well. I'm ProfessoressaFoglio on Twitch, and official office hours are 6-9 PM Wednesdays, Seattle time.

Agatha is concerned by a change in the appearance of her time-control staff[76]. She asks Kjarl about it; he replies that the time-stop field is growing stronger. Agatha remarks that Albia said her staff could handle the frozen time zone and Kjarl reminds everyone they have an extra power source. Zog and Zeetha discuss the upcoming dangers of the mission. Tarvek thinks he has spotted the Baron but then the entire party reacts with varying degrees of surprise, dismay, and horror.

Agatha, Klaus
Agatha reacts with shock as she and her group confront a crowd of dozens of individuals frozen in the time-stop field, each of whom appears to be Klaus Wulfenbach. Each Klaus seems to have his own time-stop device, but some are throwing them in the air or have dropped them (one even attempting to step on the device), so it is hard to be sure. The Klauses are all in different postures, with varying expressions displaying a wide range of emotions.
Agatha: "What—?"

Volume Twenty-Five
Here we go!
Based on Kaja's commentary on the Patreon page titled Girl Genius Comic for Wed. & Fri., October 23 & 25, 2024 (behind a paywall), this image is the "electonic cover"[80] for volume 24, which has just ended.[81]

References

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 The title for this section is not from the Canon; that is, it is not from the Girl Genius website navigation menu. It was added for easier navigation within the chronology.
  2. This may be the same character as the one addressed as "Lieutenant" by Bang on the next page of the comic. The coloring of his uniform is different, but that could be an error.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 On Royal Navy ships in the real world, the person who is second in command of a naval vessel is referred to as "First Lieutenant" regardless of their actual rank. Presumably that is why Bang addresses her second in command as "Lieutenant".
  4. Although some details of his uniform are different, the tentative assumption is being made here that the person Bang is referring to as her second in command on this page is the same person that she referred to as "Lieutenant" on the previous page of the comic and that the difference in details of the uniform are due to an art error.
  5. It seems very likely that the person who tries to stab Tarvek and is fatally stopped by Bang is a revenant. The revenants in this locality might be under the control of Lucrezia/The Other or Zola/The Queen of the Dawn, but both of them have reason to want Tarvek out of the way.
  6. These characters are shown looking over the remains of the Hive Engines. They are at a considerable distance from the viewer and so are rendered without much detail, but from what can be seen, they look a lot like Corbettite Monks. While they could be some kind of superficially similar Wulfenbach Military Technicians/Specialists, something as dangerous as Hive Engines, especially Hive Engines potentially modified by entities as dangerous and mysterious as the Polar Lords, would be right up the Corbettites' alley.
  7. There is internal evidence in the comic that the airship Neena stowed away on was actually called the HMS Titan. Perhaps this new ship name will be corrected.
  8. See panel 4 of the page for Monday, January 8, 2024.
  9. Since Gil is using this vessel as his command center, presumably it is Castle Wulfenbach or at least some large, well-equipped Wulfenbach airship.
  10. 10.0 10.1 There is a insignia on the visor of this female officer's hat that looks like the letter 'T'.
  11. Probably. The identity of this person is uncertain because they are bowing and their face cannot be seen. But General Banks was present on the previous page and, as the highest-ranking Wulfenbach military officer present, it makes sense that he would be bidding farewell to Gil.
  12. Quite possibly. The identity of this person is uncertain because they are bowing and their face cannot be seen, but Captain T-Hat's hat was off on the previous page , as it is here, and her hair is very distinctive. And, as one of the highest-ranking Wulfenbach military officers present, it makes sense that she would be bidding farewell to Gil.
  13. Possibly. The identity of this person is uncertain because their face is completely obscured. But Lord Moncrieff was present on the previous page and, as one of the highest-ranking of Albia's subjects present, it makes sense that he would be bidding farewell to Gil.
  14. There is another gauge, apparently a pressure gauge, back in volume 18 on page (034), panel 3, posted on Friday, January 5, 2018, which has the letters KPC printed on the dial. It is natural to interpret these letters as units of pressure, but hard to come up with an interpretation that makes sense.
  15. There may be additional digits in this number.
  16. It is natural to interpret these letters as units of pressure, but hard to come up with an interpretation that makes sense.
  17. The first reference to the Polar Ice Lords as "de Reindeer Boys" was in volume 8, page (042), panel 1, posted Wednesday, May 14, 2008.
  18. The text on the visor of Dimo's "General" hat will not be mentioned again unless it become relevant to the plot; assume it is there unless you are told otherwise.
  19. Chester Bonesteff's name is revealed on the next page of the comic.
  20. Separate cries from individual Jägers in the horde have been combined into a single line of dialog.
  21. As seen starting on page (120) of volume 13 posted on Wednesday, October 9, 2013.
  22. 22.00 22.01 22.02 22.03 22.04 22.05 22.06 22.07 22.08 22.09 22.10 22.11 22.12 22.13 22.14 Although this is a non-canon section, it is considered to be an important navigation item, so it has been promoted to the same heading level as the canonical sections.
  23. Agatha's Vally, aka the Valley of the Heterodynes or the Valley of Mechanicsburg
  24. The final digit isn't very clear. It might be another '3', but it looks very different from the first one, so it is probably a '5'.
  25. Voice from out of panel
  26. At least it could be him, but we only see him from the back on this page.
  27. 27.0 27.1 , Norville and Krosp are continuing their fight off-panel on this page (021), posted on Wednesday, February 28, 2024. Their voices are heard in panel 4.
  28. A previous version of the cover for volume 21 was shown as a pencil sketch posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, but was abandoned.
  29. Or rather, British actors made up to look like Jägermonsters.
  30. This page was posted as number 027, which duplicates the number of the previous page, posted on Friday, March 15, 2024. This should be corrected soon; in the Patreon post for Wednesday, March 20, 2024 (behind a paywall), Kaja says, "Also, thanks for the note about the last page's number; I'll try to fix it properly soon."
  31. On the page for Monday, March 18, 2024, Norville is back in human form, fully dressed, and sound asleep.
  32. This Geisterdame is wearing Oggie's hat and must be the one who requested kissing lessons, prompting the Jäger to give it to her.
  33. This Geisterdame can be indentified as Eotain since she and Othar are exchanging smiles and waves.
  34. 34.0 34.1 34.2 Seffie visualizes a glowering Agatha and Gil protectively standing in front of a smiling, innocent-looking Tarvek.
  35. Seen through window. The identity of this character isn't certain, but it seems likely that they are a member of the Wulfenbach forces since they are standing next to a Wulfenbach clank.
  36. Seen through window.
  37. 37.00 37.01 37.02 37.03 37.04 37.05 37.06 37.07 37.08 37.09 37.10 37.11 Dreen-R is the one who says "Rude"; Dreen-W, "Weird"; and Dreen-BT, "'Bout time": see the page for Monday, April 8, 2024. At first, the three Dreen that appear near Mechanicsburg following Agatha's return, after she has helped drive off the Polar Lords using her Sparky talents and Lady Heterodyne's Star, were identified in the chronology of this wiki as Dreen #1, Dreen #2, and Dreen #3. But, inspired by seeing these Dreen identified as "Rude", "Weird", and "'Bout time" in discussions on the Girl Genius subreddit, it was decided to rename them as Dreen-R, Dreen-W, and Dreen-BT. The intention was to come up with unique (for searchability) names that still call to mind the memorable scene where they speak those words. However, when the Dreen revert to their original appearance, it becomes very difficult to determine who is who. In those cased, the Dreen who can't be identified will be referred to using a hyphen (dash) and a number, for example, Dreen-2.
  38. 38.0 38.1 38.2 38.3 In this conversation, individual Dreen can be identified because Agatha uses her staff on them on the next page of the comic (posted on Friday, April 12, 2024 ).
  39. In panel 1 of the page for Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Tarvek is shown, but doesn't speak. Kjarl Thotep isn't shown, but his out-of-panel voice is the only dialog in the panel, so he is listed first.
  40. One of the Dreen is the only speaker in the first panel and so is listed first, even though this character is not shown until the second panel.
  41. 41.0 41.1 41.2 41.3 41.4 41.5 When the Dreen are back in "interchangable appearance" mode, it is not always clear which of them is speaking. This footnote indicates the instances where an educated (or occasionally wild) guess is made.
  42. Possibly including a Knight of the Hunt
  43. The wording shown here can bee seen nearly in full on the previous page, panel 1.
  44. "EEK" Is written on the license certificate under a picture of a rat's head. This lettering is very hard to see on the colored version of the page, but is readable in Phil's pencil sketch on the Patreon page for the comic page posted on Friday, May 17 (behind a paywall). Eek (shown to be a rat wearing an apron on the previous page ) is the licensee and apparently the proprieter of a Mechanicsburg shop called "Fruit to Nuts". It is short for Eekineezer. The information on the rat's name comes from Kaja in her comment on that Patreon page.
  45. The name of this clank character was spelled "Bohrlaikha" in the comic during her initial set of appearances, starting with her first. It is reproduced in the new variant spelling here since this occurrence is part of a section title, but elsewhere in the chronology it is spelled "Bohrlaikha" for consistency with the previous part of the story.
  46. 46.0 46.1 46.2 46.3 46.4 46.5 46.6 46.7 46.8 46.9 This clank character's name has been spelled "Bohrlaika" in the comic (omitting a second 'h' after the 'k') since she has come back into the story after a long absence. This is inconsistent with the original spelling, "Bohrlaikha".
  47. The speaker in panels one through three on the page for Friday, May 31, 2024 is not visible in those panels and their identity is uncertain even afterward. It's also uncertain whether only one speaker is involved or a few. The identity of the speaker is guessed to be Bang here because she speaks in almost every remaining panel on the page and she is the only identifiable person asking questions, as the speaker in those initial panels does.
  48. In panel 2 of the page for Monday, June 3, 2024, Bohrlaikha is shown but a series of tailless dialog balloons show that someone present in the scene, but not in the panel, is speaking. Comparing what is said in those balloons with what Gil says in panel 3 makes it seems extremely likely he was the speaker in panel 2 as well. Therefore, he is listed before Bohrlaikha in the character list for this page.
  49. The punctuation "—…—" in Zeetha's dialog represents a long pause during which Zeetha is temporarily caught in the Mechanicsburg time freeze.
  50. The full word starting with 'M' on the map/brochure is revealed to be "museum" in panel 1 of the page of the comic for Wednesday, June 19, 2024, in which a larger portion of the same map is shown.
  51. Editorial note: In this case, the colors were not delayed.
  52. This text is very hard to discern in the color version of the page posted on the Girl Genius website. This transcription is taken from the pencil sketch version posted on the Girl Genius Patreon page for the page posted on Friday, June 14, 2024 (behind a paywall). Confusingly, this Patreon page was posted with the date May 14, 2024.
  53. In an earlier view of the same time-frozen scene, the lower street sign read "ZIPF", not "ZIPP".
  54. Zeetha doesn't appear on the page for Wednesday, June 19, 2024, but her voice is heard from "off screen" in panel 8.
  55. The same map/brochure is shown on the page for Friday, June 7, 2024. Compared to the rendering of the map shown on the page for the date of this chronology entry (Wednesday, June 19, 2024), less text is shown, but some of it is more readable on the earlier page.
  56. 56.0 56.1 The Wee Beastie and Portable Castle are presumably present in the background of this scene, because the weird Kjarl-created vehicle they are piloting/riding is present, but the top of it, where they normally perch, is blocked by an arm of one of the Dreen.
  57. A cooper is a craftsperson who makes barrels, which are displayed in front of this store.
  58. This text is very hard to decipher in the colored version of the page posted on the comic website. It has been transcribed from the pencil sketch, available as a bonus for patrons (behind a paywall), on the Girl Genuis Patreon page for Monday, June 24, 2024.
  59. The sign partially visible here is above a framed panel (only a small portion of which can be seen) that could be the window of a ticket booth. That, and the fact that it appears next to a much larger sign listing what seems to be the prices of admission to the Laughing Tower, a "fun-house-style" attaction in the Red Cathedral, are why this full text of this sign is assume to be "TICKETS".
  60. 60.0 60.1 The number here is presumably the price of admission in whatever unit of currency is used in Mechanicsburg.
  61. This figure is dimly visible between Agatha's and Tarvek's heads in the background.
  62. This may be a Diesel Sweeties reference.
  63. Castle Heterodyne is shown on a screen, presumably as part of the game being played by Agatha in the ad.
  64. The assumption is being made here that "Hellebore" is the name of the Black Squad who speaks to Dal Maghiar in panels 1 and 2.
  65. 65.0 65.1 65.2 65.3 In the Girl Genius Patreon entry for Friday, August 2, 2024 (behind a paywall), Kaja included an image of the page for Monday, July 29, 2024 without any dialog balloons, which displays the text obscured by them on the published version of the page. The Patreon page image is the source of the text transcribed here.
  66. It is assumed that all the beings in uniforms that display a Wulfenbach sigil are members of one of the many Wulfenbach military units. The word "beings" in this note is used advisedly because, although almost everyone in uniform shown on this page seems human, there is one non-human creature in uniform in panel 4.
  67. This character's rank is revealed to be captain on the next page of the comic.
  68. Emphasis added.
  69. Some of the text on this page is difficult to read in the colored version of the comic posted to the Girl Genius website and has been has been transcribed from the pencil sketch posted on the Girl Genius Patreon page for the comic posted Friday, August 30, 2024, which is behind a paywall. The full text of the sign can be reconstructed from the different views in the two panels.
  70. Presumably, Cheesydog sandwiches with fishy pickles.
  71. This gate seems to be the same as the one referred to as the Main Gate in the Mechanicsburg article.
  72. Present day Dimo is narrating this page, which is nearly all flashback, from the beginning, so he is listed first, even though he doesn't appear in non-flashback form until panel 8.
  73. Present day Dimo is narrating the flashback panels on this page, which include the first one, so he is listed first, even though he doesn't appear in non-flashback form until panel 2.
  74. A hose connects tank #1 to the ship. Presumably, fuel or supplies (such as water), are being pumped on board.
  75. The cigar box is held under Dal Maghiar's left arm. In the colored version of the page image, the text is hard to discern. It was transcribed from the pencil sketch on the Patreon post for the comic page for Monday, October 14, 2024 (behind a paywall).
  76. This is the transformed version of Prende's Chronometric Lantern, known as Lady Heterodyne's Star after its transformation by Albia and originally called Ninisinaa's Star, after its creator, an Ancient God-Queen.
  77. The sign on the building is easier to read in the pencil sketch for the double-page spread on pages (117) and (118), shown on the corresponding Patreon page, behind a paywall.
  78. The fact that the number 2 is displayed on three of the time-stop devices is almost impossible to make out on the today's page, but it can be clearly seen in the pencil sketch version of the double-page spread shown on the Patreon page, "Girl Genius Comic for Wed. & Fri., October 23 & 25, 2024" (behind a paywall). This is also confirmed in the comic in the next volume on page (003), posted on Friday, November 1, 2024 .
  79. The three Klauses holding time-stop devices that display a "2" are the frontmost Klaus, holding the device over his head and the two who flank him. Of these, the one to the left is also holding the device up and the one to the right is holding it out to the right.
  80. Presumably this means it will be used for the PDF edition when it is offered for sale on DriveThruComics.
  81. The text on the image refers to the fact that the next page posted to the comic website will be the first page of volume 25. This text will presumable not appear when the image is used for the "electonic cover" of volume 24.
