The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
So, last time Hautwyrm tried a similiar tactic she had the whole group sorrounded, and it took Humongulous "convincing" Franz for it to work. Now she only really has the cat, and what is stopping Franz from melting her off the face of the planet the moment she does harm it (not to mention Humongulous not being in shape to do much "convincing" this time around)?

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
Starting from "my gun is set to explode killing myself in the process", transited to "I keep trying to reason with a dragon instead of shooting him, and this kinda proves that my gun is not able to kill him anyway", an now arrived at "I keep a ride hostage". The level of villainy descended to Jumba Jookiba's levels.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
She's in a sparky state, maybe even gone full mad-girl mode, expecting rational behaviour from her is unrealistic at this point.
I'm kind of expecting Vipsania to go full rage mode on her for threatening her cat myself. I recall the Foglio's being fond of cats, so threatening a cat is the sort of thing that foreshadows a character getting roundly beaten.
50/50 on Wyrmhaut dying or leaving this place in a state of humiliating defeat. Could honestly go either way even if I would prefer her to be dead. She does have students who need her for a passing grade, and GG likes it's academia jokes, so her being rolled out in an impromptu straitjacket made from a tacky tapestry while ranting about her thesis on the Iram Solis or something would be quite fitting.Sanity is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
do they?
Wouldn’t a successor show some gratitude for her position?
Or at least be … motivated … to get rid of the students for self protection.
I‘ve has a professor add half a point to an exam just to get rid of me**

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
We've had at least one student give up on their professor (during the re-taking of Mechanicsberg, just after said professor had the misfortune to mug a couple of people who turned out to be Zeetha and Higgs (might have been Violetta, but I can't find the links)), and attempt to sign up with the Heterodyne.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
The Foglios naming a cat after a cartoonist that does cat cartoons is an immense amount of plot armor. Everyone else may die, but Kliban will live.
Although I think picking that particular hostage may be a cat-astrophic error.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
Brother Marcus has a plan, and Kliban is adorable in his density. Maybe Hector should ride Kliban into the sunset?

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
I believe Lovecraftian cats can leap to the moon in groups, so yes, cats can ride ghosts and vice versa.
Cats can do anything. Just ask them.
I wonder if the Iram Solis will amplify a cigarette lighter to the point where it's dangerous. I also wonder how the real dragon will react to being hit with flame.
Plus "Whoo" may be Hector about to change sides, and Brother Marcus is about to play his card.
EDIT:
It occurs to me that the lovingly Spark-crafted gun would make a fine club. It's large, sturdy, and Vipsania could easily smash Hautwyrm over the head with it.Last edited by Shining Wrath; 2023-07-05 at 08:17 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
The font chosen for "Whoo" looks ghost-like to me. I will admit that maybe it's the gun refusing to fire, though.
OTOH we don't know what Marcus is doing, that may be another defensive system kicking in and Hautwyrm is about to feel the pain.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
The Iram Solis producing particels of light as a charging manga cannon suggest that "Whoom" is how it reacts to flames.
Yet to be confirmed.

New comic.
So, err ... Real, or not?
Kliban can definitely see it. But I don't know if that's a point in either direction.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.

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
Okay, but if it was part of a defence system and activated by Brother Marcus ... Who made it, and for whom?

Re: Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!
The same people, for the same purposes, as the spikes that impaled the FSMADD. Why the dragon had a control panel I do not know, but he did, and Marcus found it. He used it once to activate the spikes, and he was about to use it again last strip.
EDIT: How will Hector respond?Last edited by Shining Wrath; 2023-07-08 at 07:14 AM.
