Girl Genius Comic for Friday, July 14, 2023
Added 2023-07-14 00:19:53 +0000 UTCI've been watching footage of people visiting the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser interactive hotel experience RPG...uh...thing. I think I heard that it was hideously expensive and Disney recently stopped offering it. That's too bad, it looks impressive and the people in the vids seem to be having fun. I guess I always identify more with the people working at places like that than I do with the guests. (Probably because that's the only way I'm likely to ever wind up somewhere this fancy.) As I watch I keep thinking about what went into designing and building something so involved, and how much work it must have been, and how clever the designers are to get all those little details right. I'm also in awe of the actors (sorry, cast members) who are basically improv players at the space ren-faire, something I would find exhausting. It can't be an easy job, so good work, people.
After I upload I'm off to do the cooking for the last big birthday of my calendar year! After this there are no more family holidays until Halloween. Unless I count San Diego Comic Con of course, but I won't be there this year. I'll be working at home this year. I hope everyone has fun!

A mysterious disappearance and an off-panel fall into a bottomless pit? Well, one thing we know for sure: we'll never see *them* again!
2023-07-16 17:56:38 +0000 UTCNo name has been given for this character. I have been calling him "Magnifying-Hat Student" in the Girl Genius wiki chronology. https://girlgenius.fandom.com/wiki/Chronology_-_Volume_2-10#A_Story_With_Franz None of Blintzie's students have been named in this story, with the exception of Miss Zoll, who was identified on the page for Friday, April 7, 2023 https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230407 This name was mentioned earlier, but you couldn't see who was being referred to on that occasion. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230331

2023-07-14 17:45:51 +0000 UTCWhat is the name of that guy in the last panel? Getting hints of Lassie. "What's wrong? Did Hector and the Professor fall down the Bottomless Pit? Good. Break out the Mechanicsburg Volcano in a Can and drop it in."

2023-07-14 10:03:13 +0000 UTCI thought that too, but those online sources include the Merriam-Webster and the OED (as an alternate form, but dating back to the 1800s).

2023-07-14 06:37:38 +0000 UTCThe word Vip is using in panel 6 is actually spelled "blackguard", although it is pronounced "blaggard". I can find a few references online that give "blaggard" as an alternative spelling, but that way lies the downfall of civilization!
