The world of Agatha Heterodyne...

... is the subject today, as I review the Foglios' long-running comic Girl Genius!

So completely agree!

I've finally taken the plunge and started reading. Fun stuff! Hilarious stuff! Subtle stuff!

Like the big picture with a bunch of signs in the background, reading things like 'Girls with Slingshots,' 'Dominic Deegan,' 'The Devil's Panties.'

Or how what seems like a throwaway line is *deep*. The world Agatha Heterodyne lives in is huge, deep, and well thought out. Und dere iz zumptin' aboot de het ting.

There's something wonderful about the art that the Foglios create; in my GURPS IOU book, the picture associated with the World Creation Class includes several deities... and an older man, bearded, with a hat... creating a flat disc balanced on the backs of elephants, astride a turtle.

You'll find Agatha in that book, too.

Oh, my. I now have even more reason to unpack properly after moving, to find that book.
