18!!First Journey:
19[[folder:Volume 1: Agatha Heterodyne and the Beetleburg Clank]]
20
21* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021220 The filing system.]]
22-->'''Gil''': That's the ''worst'' filing system I've ''ever seen.''
23* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030312 Oh, help. I-hav-been-ceptured-by-a-clenk. Help. Help.]]"
24* Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030203 gets an escort]].
25-->'''Agatha''': They sent you out to ''eat'' me! '''WAAAAAAA'''-\
26'''Jagermonster''': Hy em ''not'' gun eatchu.\
27'''Agatha''': '''[[OverlyLongGag AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]'''\
28'''Jagermonster''': Onless dots de only vay to shot hyu op!
29* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030430 Leedle recoil problem dere, sir!]]"
30* "[[RunningGag He threw a bomb at me...]]"

34[[folder:Volume 2: Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City]]
35
36* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030623 The falling machine.]]
37* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031010 Othar's debut]], in which he first presumes that Agatha is the MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter before [[GentlemanAdventurer introducing himself]].
38-->'''Othar:''' But I'll escape eventually. I ''am'' the hero, after all. And ''you'' are just what I need.\
39'''Agatha:''' An audience?\
40'''Othar:''' Ye-- '''''no!'''''
41* Agatha's reaction to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031119 Barry first]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031121 giving her the locket]] just sums up the worldview these people have so well. Keep in mind Agatha was five at the time...
42-->'''Barry:''' Now, Agatha -- this is ''important''. You must ''always'' wear this.\
43'''Agatha:''' But ''why?''\
44'''Barry:''' Because... because as long as you do, your parents can...''protect you''.\
45'''Agatha:''' Really?\
46'''Barry:''' Really.\
47'''Agatha:''' But ''how'' can they protect me if they're not ''here?'' That's ''illogical''.\
48'''Barry:''' Um, it's...''science''.\
49'''Agatha:''' ''Ah'', you mean you'll explain it to me once I have a sufficiently advanced background education.\
50'''Barry:''' Er... ''yes''.
51** Doubles as a tear-jerker if you know what the locket does to protect her:
52---> '''Agatha:''' Uncle Barry--are you ''crying?''
53* Othar's reaction [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031020 here]].
54-->'''Othar:''' No one ever takes ''me'' to parties.\
55'''Gorb''': Hokay, ve haff our own. You ken be de pinata!
56** Prior to that, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031017 Gorb's partner berates him for thinking of]] [[SheKnowsTooMuch killing Agatha for being a witness]] of Othar's imprisonment, and [[LeaveNoWitnesses all the subsequent murdering they'd need to do]]. The clincher is Gorb is more concerned that he'll lose his hat as a result.
57

59
60[[folder:Volume 3: Agatha Heterodyne and the Monster Engine]]
61
62* Bang, right from the moment she [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040121 "introduces" herself.]]
63-->'''[=DuPree=]:''' ''Ta-daa! I'' am ''here!''
64** This, of course, following on with the RunningGag of the Baron being interrupted in the middle of his research, and his growing exasperation with it.
65* Even better, her EstablishingCharacterMoment on the next page makes sure that even the slowest reader knows what kind of person she is.
66--> '''[=DuPree=]:''' Ooooh, he asked ''me'' to ''help''! A wise choice! ''Nobody'' knows more about torture than ''me''!\
67'''Baron:''' I ''believe'' he expected you to ''rescue'' him.\
68'''[=DuPree=]:''' What- Is he ''stupid''?\
69'''Baron:''' A bit.
70* Agatha accidentally starts up a fencing clank, and is told the heart needs to be hit again to deactivate it. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040218 Her response]] is simple - "[[CuttingTheKnot I don't fence]]."
71* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040510 On the run from Slaver Wasps]], Agatha is more than a little disappointed that Gil doesn't have so much as ''one'' measly little DeathRay.
72-->'''Agatha''': What kind of an EvilOverlord are you going to ''be'', anyway?!\
73'''Gil''': Apparently a better one than I'd thought...
74* "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040714 FOUL!]]''"
75** "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040927 FOUL!]]''"
76* In a bit of {{Bathos}}, Klaus [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040804 relates the devastation he came back to in the Heterodyne boys' absence]] - with baby Gil in a back carrier and a goofy smile on his face.
77

79
80[[folder:Volume 4: Agatha Heterodyne and the Circus Of Dreams]]
81
82* Lucrezia's facial expression [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041208 in the last panel here]].
83* After Abner [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050124 convinces Gil that Agatha is dead]], Gil offers to escort him back to the circus, only to be baffled when Abner states he would rather just return on his own. Considering the wastelands are littered with [[AIIsACrapshoot wild clanks]] and that it's the middle of the night, [[TooDumbToLive it's certainly not very smart to be out alone.]] He lets him go when Abner admits he finds [[HeroicComedicSociopath Dupree]] scarier.
84* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050218 Zeetha begins Agatha's training]] via a quick translation.
85-->'''Zeetha''': Sort of like "Teacher and student." Sort of like "Cause and Effect." Mostly, like "[[TrainingFromHell Grindstone and Knife]]." (''Whacks Agatha with her staff'')\
86'''Agatha''': ''[[{{Understatement}} Not good]]''.
87* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050328 This strip]], if you're familiar with Baba Yaga and Russian fairy tales.
88--> '''Agatha:''' Why do you even bother keeping this running?\
89'''Circus Member''': We need the eggs.
90* Everything about [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050420 this]] page.
91** "Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie!"
92* Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050523 performs her first reading]] - [[NoodleImplements it's a bit overwhelming]].
93-->'''Agatha''': [-She... tea cozy... '''forty-three hours'''... only ''one'' spoon... how... eek!-]
94* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050620 Sorry]] -- vos ve supposed to ''catch'' him?"
95* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050725 Augie desperately trying to convince]] Da Boyz that he's okay and doesn't need [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan help calming down]].
96-->'''Abner:''' How are ''you,'' Augie?\
97'''Augie:''' WONDERFUL! NEVER BETTER! CALM AND ''COLLECTED!''\
98'''Dimo:''' (leaning in real close, smiling) Hokay.

102[[folder:Volume 5: Agatha Heterodyne and the Clockwork Princess]]
103
104* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050810 'I hitt Mr Larz' (syned) a Brik.]]"
105* The Jagers [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050914 give some coaching to Punch's actor]].
106** Apparently he took it to heart as he later suggests that Punch give Mirandola's ''Oration on the Dignity of Man'' during a performance as a bit of irony.
107* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050916 Immediately after]], Payne's wife plays coquettish about wanting to know his plans regarding said Jagers before casually threatening him with a FryingPanOfDoom.
108* When the Sturmvoraus count requests the carnival for a play, one of the carnival-folk suggests they play a quite risqué play, hoping that it will get them kicked out of town fast. Then Sturmvoraus sends a message not only requesting that same play, but also that they [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051017 "tart it up"]].
109* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051109 Agatha sits down to dinner with the local royalty and inexplicably begins telling them everything about herself]] (including things she didn't even tell the carnival-folk she's been traveling with), then falls face-down into her torte. Turns out she's been slipped truth-serum in her wine. As she's being dragged off, she tells the prince [[InVinoVeritas she thinks he's cute.]] [[spoiler:This seems like a silly throw-away moment. However, she actually ''does'', setting up the LoveTriangle later on.]]
110** Aaronev then suggests maybe that he used too much and Tarvek gives him a "you think?!"
111
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Volume 6: Agatha Heterodyne and the Golden Trilobite]]
115
116* Krosp learns about [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060125 sewers]].
117* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060315 This gem.]]
118-->'''Bang:''' Heya, Klaus! Ready to go slaughter a whole buncha people?
119-->'''Klaus:''' If it becomes necessary.
120* [[GenreSavvy A special mention for the men]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060414 carrying Anevka's squishy bits.]]
121-->'''Oggie''': Who vants to be my friend?!\
122'''Geisterdamen''': ''[draw swords, hissing]''\
123'''Henchmen:''' ''[immediately raise their hands]''
124* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060501 That's a messed-up ecosystem, man.]]
125* In the Deep Down, we get an OverlyLongGag in the form of - "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060510 AAAAH]]''" in a variety of ways.
126* Blink and you'll miss it, but [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060710 while the Geisterdamen are moving slaver engines]] through the tunnels under Sturmhalten, one of them can be seen lazying about in a cart.
127* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060721 With Dimo missing an arm]], Zeetha worries that Jaegers only let a Heterodyne fix them. [[CannotKeepASecret Oggie is about to blab that they've already found one]], but Dimo shuts him up by punching him.
128-->'''Dimo:''' Hokay! Right arm, still feelin' goot. Thenks, Oggie!
129* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060726 The storyteller's]] [[Music/TheBeatles oubliette song.]] And the entire rest of the scene:
130** His explanation of why he's in prison.
131---> '''Maxim:''' [[WhatAreYouInFor Vot hyu in for]]?\
132'''Phil:''' Bad storytelling.\
133'''Maxim:''' Ho! How hyu do ''dot''?\
134'''Phil:''' You put the ''prince'' in your story.
135** The end of the scene:
136--->'''Phil:''' [[TemptingFate Whelp-The day can't get any]] ''[[TemptingFate weirder]]''.\
137'''Oggie:''' GREAT-GREAT GRANDSON!
138* The scene of [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20061016 Lars finding out Agatha's actually a Heterodyne]]. Especially the last panel.
139* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070119 return]] of the calming pie:
140-->'''Agatha''': ... still calm.\
141'''Chef Taki''': Yay, me!\
142'''Klaus''': ''There'' you are! ''DIE!''\
143'''Agatha''': [[DissonantSerenity Astonishingly, still calm]].
144* When making a dynamic exit via airship, Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070202 expresses some dismay]].
145-->'''Pix!Lucrezia''': Agatha, hold on! We didn't know you were afraid of heights!\
146'''Agatha''': I'm ''not''! But I've got ''cat claws'' in my ''butt''! '''Let go'''!\
147'''Krosp''': You ''must'' be joking.
148* Once aboard, Master Payne's wife [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070207 mentions that it was remarkably easy to steal]] because [[StealthInsult who would be fool enough to try?]]
149-->'''Oggie''': Hey! Iz like hyu wife [[LampshadeHanging iz callink hyu a fool wit-out ektually]]-\
150'''Payne''': You ''cannot possibly'' be [[ObfuscatingStupidity as stupid as you act]].\
151'''Oggie''': ...ken if I ''vants'' to be!
152
153[[/folder]]
154
155[[folder:Volume 7: Agatha Heterodyne and the Voice of the Castle]]
156
157* "[Airman Higgs] dragged your father and Dupree ashore, where he encountered a ''nesting goose''--[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070409 which broke his]] ''other'' arm."
158** And such dangers from a large bird protecting its young are TruthInTelevision!
159* Zeetha and Agatha have a good discussion on the merits of training during an [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070502 arduous trek to Castle Heterodyne]]:
160--> '''Zeetha''': Hmf. Somebody's been neglecting her [[TrainingFromHell training]].\
161'''Agatha''': ...I so don't care.\
162''[next panel, with Agatha in an all-out sprint up the mountain and stars of pain emanating from her backside]''\
163'''Agatha''': I CARE! I CARE!
164* Agatha's [[MotorMouth reaction]] [[KlatchianCoffee to her]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070525 first cup of coffee]]. And when she starts to slowly [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070530 get down again]]...
165-->'''Agatha:''' Say, could I get another cup of coffee?\
166'''Von Mekkans:''' ''NO!''
167* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070613 Coffee shop report scene]]
168-->'''Vole:''' Dere haff been ''[[AwesomenessIsVolatile three explosions]]'' so far, sir.\
169'''Gil:''' ''[happily]'' Agatha!
170* The [[OrgasmicallyDelicious Spark Roast coffee]] sequence, complete with Von Mekkan's "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070625 PERFECT SAUCER!]]''" and "Vid a Nize Kick!".
171* "'''''Now''' I vill not just keel '''HYU''' - Now I keel EFFERYVUN!'' ....[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070629 Hey]]....Dot is verra gud coffee."
172* While laid up in the hospital, Klaus tells Gil that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070709 every woman with the Spark he's ever met has tried to kill him.]]
173--> '''Gil:''' Father... maybe it's ''you.''\
174'''Klaus:''' ''[Thinks about this.]''\
175'''Klaus:''' ''[Thinks some more.]''\
176'''Klaus:''' ''[completely honestly]'' ...No... no, I don't think so...
177* Dupree has her broken [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070716 jaw]] wired [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070718 shut]].
178-->'''Klaus''' ''(having a boyish smile of glee):'' Good Heavens. I wouldn't miss this for the world!
179** The novelization takes it up a notch; Her jaw's not broken, Gil and Dr. Sun just decided to shut her up for a while. Klaus actually begins to laugh, but due to his injuries, he nearly literally busts a gut.
180* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070824 When discussing on how to get Agatha into the Castle as a 'prisoner',]] Carson muses about how initially the imprisoned workforce were marched in and out each day, but that inevitably attracted bookies and other merchants of misery who set up outside the gates and capitalised on the situation. It was making Mechanicsburg look bad, but just as the Town Council were trying to work out how to get rid of them without raising the Baron's ire -- the Baron himself abruptly solved the problem, by having all the bad characters rounded up and marched into the Castle as well.
181--> '''Carson:''' And none of them ever came ''out.'' Klaus was never really good at ''subtle.''
182* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071102 second]] coffee shop report scene.
183* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071107 Jenka, vy for iz Füst runnink away?]]"
184-->'''Jenka:''' He ''vot?''
185* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071116 "Trade entrance. Invade In Front"]]
186* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071217 Jenka and da Boyz help Gil with the 'Mysterious Disappearance After the Battle' ending.]]
187-->'''Jenka:''' Iz dis de first time hy faced down an entire army all by hyuself vit a veapon hyu vasn't sure vos gonna ''vork?''\
188'''Gil:''' Well, ''yes...''\
189'''Jenka:''' ''Vell'' den. Dot's just hyu body bein' all surprized hyu ain't all blowed up and ''dead!'' Next time, hyu von't even ''blink!''\
190'''Gil:''' Next... I ''really'' think I have to lie down now.
191** The same scene has da Boyz reminisce about previous conquering attempts, and just how stupid it is for someone to try and conquer [[CitadelCity Mechanicsburg]].
192--->'''Oggie''': Hah! Remember dot "X de Destroyer" guy? Who thot dot Big "X" on de ground vos vere he should set up hiz '''[[TooDumbToLive tent]]'''?! '''Hee'''!
193
194[[/folder]]
195
196[[folder:Volume 8: Agatha Heterodyne and the Chapel of Bones]]
197
198* Agatha's "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080213 alibi]]" for why she was sent to Castle Heterodyne.
199-->'''Sanaa:''' ''Really?'' Oh, man, we ''need'' a good cook! Guy doing it now's a ''mechanic'' - and he's a ''complete idiot''. I'd rather eat his ''engines''. ... So - what did you ''do'' to wind up ''here'', anyway?\
200'''Agatha:''' Poisoned thirty-seven people -- who ''complained'' about my ''cooking''.
201** The current cook turns out to be [[TheBusCameBack Moloch von Zinzer]], who is... [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080220 more than a little inept]] [[DistractedByTheSexy when around Wilhelm]].
202--->'''Wilhelm''': It's amazing we get anything to eat at ''all'', really.
203** So much so that he [[FailedASpotCheck completely failed to register]] that Agatha is the new prisoner.
204* After utterly [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080307 kicking the crap out of Vole]], Gilgamesh responds to Dimo's appreciation of his methodology.
205-->'''Gilgamesh''': My father once wrote a monograph on how to communicate in the workplace.\
206'''Dimo''': ...iz dat so?\
207'''Gilgamesh''': All seven Popes ordered it '''burned'''.
208** ''Literature/AgathaHAndTheVoiceOfTheCastle'' gives a name to the monograph. It's "''Don't Make Me Come Over There''". Explains a lot.
209* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080310 Da Boyz on relationships]]
210-->'''Maxim:''' Excellent! Hy vill teach him how to impress de gorlz!\
211'''Oggie:''' Hy vill teach him about de birds ud de veasles!\
212'''Dimo:''' ''[whispering]'' Und Hy vill teach him how to ''avoid those two''.\
213'''Jenka:''' Ah. ''Den'' he might have a chence.
214** Even funnier since Oggie is the only one of the group that actually had been successful with women, if his great-great-grandchildren are any indicator.
215* Gil's Fabulous Hat: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080514 "Hey- NIZE HAT!"]] "''That's'' it. Everything's going to go boom."
216** He's then introduced to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080516 Krosp and Vanamonde]], with the latter [[BrickJoke not quite over that perfect coffee Agatha brewed up]].
217* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080523 Klaus goes for a stroll]]. The real kicker is Klaus's [[DefensiveWhat Indignant "What?"]], as if he's genuinely got no idea why Sun's getting so upset.
218* Krosp [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080611 talks Gil into keeping his]] hat by pointing out that the Jagers made it ''especially'' for him as a symbol of their respect.
219-->'''von Mekken''': [-Krosp, that was very diplomatic-].\
220'''Krosp''': [-Are you kidding? [[ItAmusedMe It makes him look like an absolute]] ''idiot''!-]
221* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080618 "HYU KNIFE, BRODDER!" "RIGHT HERE, BRODDER!"]]
222* ''Technically'' they're called [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080901 "fun-sized mobile agony and death dispensers."]]
223** Later on, Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110620 gets in on it:]] "''Excuse'' me? Those are ''my'' fun-sized mobile agony and death dispensers, they're works of ''art!''"
224* "Here's your boot, ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080924 your majesty.]]''"
225* Gil and his friends from Castle Wulfenbach have just demonstrated why Sparks under the influence of their own alcoholic creations are up there among the most hilarious things ever: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081008 "We forgot the crowd!"]]
226* You know that trick with laser pointers and cats? [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080922 So does Agatha]].
227* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081105 And when they return with a crowd]] (one which, admittedly, [[YourCostumeNeedsWork thinks Gil is a traveling circus performer]]):
228-->'''Theo:''' Gil, you're making me nervous.\
229'''Gil:''' How can that ''be?'' A jolly entertainer like myself? A spreader of ''mirth?''\
230'''Theo:''' At least stop ''smiling.'' It's ''creepy.''\
231'''Gil:''' But everyone is having such a ''good time!''\
232'''Theo:''' If you look like a demented idiot, no-one will take you ''seriously.''\
233'''Gil:''' But no-one does that ''now!''
234* And then he actually talks to the guards...
235-->'''Gil:''' Hi! I'm Gilgamesh Wulfenbach! Can I please go into the castle?!\
236'''Guard:''' NO.\
237'''Gil:''' There, everyone! You ''heard'' me! I asked ''nice''!\
238'''Guard:''' Wait--You're who?\
239''KRAK-BOOM''
240* And how they assembled the crowd - Gil popped a "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081020 Jolly Fun Oxidation Enhancer]]" on Zeetha's back to make all her metals go poof. Unfortunately, he'd mistakenly used a "[[TheNudifier Wacky Weave Destabilizer]]" instead, but figured that it meant DefeatByModesty... not knowing that Zeetha is fine with a FullFrontalAssault, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl even with a crowd assembled]].
241* Agatha is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081107 not pleased about how Gil's knocking on her door]].
242-->'''Agatha:''' Hey, you kids! STOP HITTING MY HOUSE!
243* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081110 TA-DAH]]!
244* Next strip: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081112 it looks like Mechanicsburg wholeheartedly ships Agatha/Gil.]] Complete with UnwantedAssistance to Gil, though naturally Zeetha is having way too much fun to stop.
245-->'''Gil:''' Don't ''help'' me!
246** Moloch's only take-away from Gil's actions. "But where'd he get that ''great'' hat?"
247* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090311 This one.]]:
248** Moloch:
249--> '''Moloch''': ''He'll learn''. 'specially since, when she ''punches'', she puts her ''hips'' [[MegatonPunch into it]].
250** It's also where Violetta argues that Agatha wouldn't possibly want two boyfriends:
251--> '''Violetta:''' Oh please! A boyfriend is an ''accessory''. You don't go around wearing two ''hats''.\
252'''Moloch:''' Oh yeah? I saw this Jäger...
253** And Agatha responding to [[{{Shipping}} speculation]]: "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU TWO?! ARE YOU TWELVE?!"
254** Violetta asking hesitantly, "Can I have a pretty dress too?"
255* Hole in the wall? Been done. Hole in the wall and the turret behind it? Much better. Hole in the wall, the turret, and a faraway ''mountain''? [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090306 Inspired.]]

259[[folder:Volume 9: Agatha Heterodyne and the Heirs of the Storm]]
260
261* When Zola dismisses Baron Wulfenbach's son, [[CallBack talking about how he was ranting and frothing like a lunatic in Beetleburg,]] Gil winces; both remembering that moment (definitely not his best) and realising the unflattering reputation he's created for himself.
262* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090304 expression on Gil's face]] when presented with an interesting challenge.
263* In the middle of a conversation with Agatha, the castle [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090313 starts rambling about yurts]] due to Gilgamesh messing around with its systems.
264* [[AxCrazy The castle's rather...]] ''[[InLoveWithYourCarnage unique]]'' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090415 interpretation of human romance]].
265* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090706 I love Christmas!]]"
266-->'''Mittlemind:''' Oh, ''please!'' What do you all ''take'' me for? I'm ''obviously'' not talking about the ''control group!''
267* "A bucket? ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090717 Again?]]'' OK, I'm comin'.
268* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090720 last three panels of this strip]] pretty much sum up the entire mentality behind the comic.
269* The one thing that can make even supergenius adventure heroes back off? [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090729 A really ugly spider the size of a human head.]]
270-->'''Agatha:''' Well, we've got to do ''something.''\
271'''Gil:''' Yeah, this is just embarrassing ''everybody''.
272** The fact that the spider has a knife and fork. And the [[AllThereInTheManual explanation for why it has a knife and fork]]. Because it will paralyse and eat people, but it does so ''with impeccable table-manners''.
273** [[AC:Nyar!]]
274* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090805 That smug condescending snake Tarvek]]. "You ''know'' him?"
275* Tarvek turning green [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090812 with a delirious, but appropriate]] comment.
276-->'''Gil:''' [[DeadpanSnarker And of course, I'd hate for it to be boring...]]
277* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090819 This]] strip.
278-->'''Agatha''': And then the cascade effect that usually ''kills everyone and sets the lab on fire probably'' won't even have a chance to ''begin!'' This has a small, but fascinating chance of ''actually working! Let's do it!''\
279'''Gil''': This'll be ''great!'' I can get killing him out of my system ''and'' give him a hard time about it ''later!''
280** Especially the end line: "No, No! It's going to be all right! We're just going to ''kill'' you and then you'll be ''fine!!''"
281---> '''Tarvek:''' That's ''brilliant!''
282* Von Zinzer continuing to be the voice of reason: [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090828 "Spooky girl's all yours, pal."]]
283* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091014 After Zola and the Professor escape from imprisonment]].
284-->'''Tarvek''': I can't ''believe'' it! The Order has ''obviously'' been planning this for ''years'', and you ''completely underestimated'' the girl they groomed to be the ''Heterodyne''?
285-->'''Agatha''': You ''obviously'' haven't met her.\
286'''Gil''': ''Oh yes he has''! Your fake Heterodyne is ''Zola La Sirene Doree''.\
287'''Tarvek''': What?! No, that was that ''idiot'' from the island of the...
288-->(BeatPanel)
289-->'''Tarvek''': She ''is'' good. Agatha, she's going to be ''trouble''.
290* Pointing out to an insane A.I. that it's being illogical [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091116 only encourages it]].
291* Gil and Tarvek's [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091202 sequence of throwing each other out of the way]].
292-->'''Tarvek''': Um -- who exactly threw ''who'' back there?\

298
299* The doctor taking care of Klaus, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091223 right here]].
300* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100219 Apparently]], Lucrezia grew up with a clockwork toy snake that '''1.''' was able to eat a grown man, '''2.''' she named "Mr. Hissyfit", ''and'' '''3.''' she thought would be a neat gift to her nephew.
301* Moloch, from Vol.7 and up. Highly GenreSavvy and also the only non-spark (and thereby the least insane one) of the main cast; always the one to come up with practical solutions to the problems at hand; [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100305 which drives the sparks mad]].
302* ...''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100426 most]]'' likely.
303* Moloch and [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100430 the]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100503 bucket]].
304* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100602 "...Then one day, while sacking a castle, I was ravished by a wild princess..."]]
305** In the same arc Maxim tries to steal Old Man Death's hat. He fails twice but succeeds the third time by ''outwitting'' him. Who saw that coming?
306** Even funnier since Dimo later says that intelligence is something frowned upon among monsters. Maxim would never tell a single soul he actually was a "schmot guy".
307* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100609 Zeuxippe, granddaughter of Old Man Death]]. Maxim hits on her after she hits him, and offers [[InnocentInnuendo a ride...]]
308-->'''Maxim:''' On my ''horze!'' Iz a ''nize horze!''
309** Just the fact that Jägers apparently also ''have an actual rulebook'' about fighting Old Man Death. Including ruling about what to consider Zeuxippe in regards to the fight.
310---> '''Maxim''': She is categorized as course hazard! Like in dot krezy game vere dey hit stuff mit sticks!\
311'''Old Man Death''': ...Piñata Jousting Polo?\
312'''Maxim''': Dot's de vun!
313** After all of it, Maxim manages to walk away not only with a new hat, but Zeuzippe's number.
314* Moloch [[OnlySaneEmployee is surprisingly grounded]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100616 when around Sparks]], a trait that Snaug [[AssuranceBackfire happily assures him]] means he has a natural talent for being TheIgor.
315-->'''Moloch''': '''''DAAAAAH'''''!\
316'''Agatha''': What in the world is Snaug doing to von Zinzer?\
317'''Violetta''': ''[[LoveTriangle Like I care]]''!
318* When Agatha's mini-clanks have a new spark-clank master, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100809 the other sparks nearby start worrying]]. "They are building! Designing! Spitting in the face of the creator! Warping science!" "...so..." "They're taking our jobs!"
319** "We are doomed." "DOOOOOMED." "DOOOOOMED!"
320* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100816 Violetta playing a chaperone]] (Made even funnier if you recall the title of [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040206 one of Gil's favorite books]]):

329-->'''Zola:''' '''''[[ChewingTheScenery HATE!]]''''' [[ThePowerOfHate Hate]] and [[PsychoSerum drugs!]] [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil Lovely]], [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity lovely]] drugs!
330** Paging Creator/WarrenEllis, Mr. [[ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} Ellis]] to the red courtesy phone.
331* Two from [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110124 one page]]:
332** It's subtle for a BoobBasedGag, but look at Gil and Tarvek's faces after Agatha says "this thing is ''heavily reinforced.''"
333** When Agatha is shocked by the idea that Zola has poison, Gil replies with "''I'' always thought she just ''couldn't make coffee,'' but ''now,'' I'm ''not so sure.''"
334* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101124 How they find the nervous system connections in the library.]]
335-->'''Tarvek:''' Oh, ''great.'' So all ''we'' have to do is figure out where an evil insane genius would put a ''secret room''.\
336'''Agatha:''' True. Well, let's try to think like a diabolical, paranoid, amoral megalomaniac. ...where would ''you'' put it?\
337'''Tarvek:''' Oh. Well, ''here.'' But--\
338[''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike SHOONK]]'']\
339'''Agatha:''' Ha! ''Perfect!'' Thanks, Tarvek!\
340'''Tarvek:''' Now just a ''minute!''
341* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101224 As Tarvek prepares to throw the switch]] that will [[BrainUploading transfer the Castle's consciousness from Otilia's head]], Agatha stops him and insists that she should be the one to do it since it's ''her'' Castle. Tarvek reluctantly agrees, but his grumpy attitude about the whole ordeal prompts some rather... interesting dialogue.
342-->'''Agatha:''' Hee -- you don't like a ''girl'' [[DoubleEntendre throwing your switch?]]\
343'''Tarvek:''' [[MistakenForMisogynist Don't be]] ''[[MistakenForMisogynist ridiculous.]]'' [[MistakenForMisogynist These are]] ''[[MistakenForMisogynist modern times.]]''\
344'''Agatha:''' I promise I'll throw it in a very ''manly'' way.\
345'''Tarvek:''' I... I don't think that's actually necessary... Or even ''possible''...
346* Lord Selnikov is immediately rather put out by the fact that he's now a BrainInAJar (albeit with the rest of his head), but he's [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110207 pretty good at looking on the bright side.]]
347-->'''Selnikov''': None of my old friends will be in if I call (the ''wretched snobs''). [[HenpeckedHusband Even my wife won't--]]
348--> {{Beat}}
349-->'''Selnikov''': Say-- can I get a brass plate that says: "Reanimated Abomination of Science" ''bolted to my forehead?''
350* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110209 This.]]
351-->'''Gil:''' You're ''up to something''.\
352'''Tarvek:''' What makes you think I'm--\
353'''Gil:''' You're ''breathing''.
354** And the fact that the construct they were fighting was part of the ''nursery'', which, as Tarvek notes, [[ThisExplainsSoMuch explains so much]] about [[AxCrazy the Heterodynes]].
355* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110216 This page.]]
356-->'''Castle:''' You are now nearing what I believe to be a '''major problem area.'''\
357'''Tarvek:''' Um- You think?\
358'''Gil:''' Wait. This is '''Castle Heterodyne.''' Maybe it's '''supposed''' to be on fire.\
359''' Castle:''' '''FIRE?! AAHHH!! PUT IT OUT! SAVE MEEEE!'''\
360'''Tarvek:''' ...apparently '''not.'''
361* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110223 Lucrezia is very]] GenreSavvy.
362-->'''Zola!Lucrezia:''' But ''he's'' [Barry Heterodyne] been missing for ''years.'' [[TemptingFate He's no threat]]--\
363''[[[OhCrap both Lucrezias freeze and look around in terror]]]''\

365'''Zola!Lucrezia:''' Ooh. So sorry, dear. I can't ''think'' of what came over me!

367* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110307 "Well, there's always the torture room."]]
368** The man who, on the whole, is absolutely unfazed at the prospect of being beaten and tortured copiously has one thing he cannot stand: being forced to stand around in a waiting room that is out of waiting numbers and has inappropriate music.
369** Bit of FridgeLogic, every other room is called a Happy Fun Room. Except this one. The Old Heterodynes couldn't stand it either!
370* Dimo admits he was listening at the door "like a grett beeg sneeky pents". [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110314 And the reaction?]]
371-->'''General Zog:''' ''Dimo!'' Hy am ''shocked'' at dis behavior!\
372'''Boris Dolokhov:''' Still, it ''was'' rather clever of him...\
373'''Zog:''' Hy ''said'' hy vos ''shocked''!
374* General Khrizhan's idea for [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110318 getting the Other out of Agatha's head]]. He knows how pipple vork!
375* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110404 Vanamonde being led home by an assistant.]]
376* Remember the fire? It '''was''' on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110420 purpose]]. The Castle just forgot.
377-->'''Agatha:''' Well, thanks for the ''lovely surprise bath'', then. ...And my ancestors...did they ''ever'' build ''anything'' small?\

379'''Agatha:''' [[TooMuchInformation I am]] ''[[TooMuchInformation so sorry]]'' [[TooMuchInformation I asked.]]
380* Tarvek is constantly having to put up with Violetta's ''painful'' remonstrations whenever she's angry with him, and because she's so much more physically powerful, he has to put up with it. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110422 Until he changes the rules.]]
381* Immediately after, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110427 Gil and Tarvek have a long talk about]] being {{Manipulative Bastard}}s when Agatha walks in, telling Violetta that while Tarvek's been surprisingly straightforward with her, she can't really trust Gil because he's ''obviously'' ObfuscatingStupidity. Cue Gil's LuminescentBlush.
382-->'''Tarvek''': [-''hee''. You weren't ''[[LoveMakesYouDumb playing]]'' [[LoveMakesYouDumb the idiot]] with ''her'', were you?-]\
383'''Gil''': ''Shut up''!
384* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?&date=20110518 "...yes?"]]
385** "Yes, please." "Shot op, hyu."
386* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110615 "Gil underestimates the danger posed by the Fun-Sized Mobile Agony And Death Dispensers."]]
387-->'''Gil''': I've fought lots of clanks. These don't look ''that'' bad.
388-->'''Tarvek''': I will '''renounce my crown''' if you walk down there '''right now!'''
389-->'''Gil''': ...that bad?
390-->'''Tarvek''': Oh '''yes.''' ...but don't take the word of a '''[[SarcasmMode lowly vassal-]]'''
391-->'''Gil''': Right.
392* "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110615 Hmf]]. Well, if we threw in every minion we have, we might take out ''one'' of them." "That's a terrible plan!" "Thank you, sir!" "There's another twenty of them! We don't have enough minions!" "Er...."
393* "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110620 Excuse]]'' me? Those are ''my'' Fun-Sized Mobile Agony And Death Dispensers. They're works of ''art!''"

395-->'''Tarvek''': Give it up you elephantine kitchen goblin!
396* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110815 Vole's expression]] when he finds out Gil's plans for him. Plus the pure audacity of Gil's plans.
397* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111012 The hat RETURNS!]]
398* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111024 "We're....We're going to have to break out those little iron cages for their children, aren't we?" "Uh-huh."]]
399* Baron Oublenmach is utterly convinced that the act of ringing the [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doom Bell]] will open the Heterodyne treasure vault, so that he can loot it. Unfortunately, as he actually gets to the top of the bell tower, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111031 he begins to realize that he may have not thought this through.]] The [[{{MobileMaze}} Castle]] [[{{AxCrazy}} Heterodyne's]] [[{{Squee}} reaction]] is the best part, though von Mekkan's utter GenreBlindness compares.
400-->'''Vanamonde von Mekkan''': ...I mean, when all's said and done, [[TemptingFate it's just a bell, right?]]\
401'''Castle Heterodyne''': I love this part.
402** On the following [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111104 elegant and finely crafted two-page spread]]: Everyone is vibrating in their boots from the bell's chime, ''except Agatha''.
403*** Jagers seem to enjoy this.

408[[folder:Volume 12: Agatha Heterodyne and the Siege of Mechanicsburg]]
409
410* All misunderstandings over Mamma Gkika's, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111121 even when standing right before it]].
411-->'''Sleipnir''': ...in a beer hall.\
412'''Gil''': It's not just a beer hall!\
413'''Sleipnir''': ''[seeing [[{{Stripperiffic}} a barmaid]]]'' It'd ''better be'' just a beer hall!
414* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111123 The coffee mug Mamma Gkika is holding]]: "[[ILikeMyXLikeILikeMyY I like my coffee like I like my women]] - '''''MEAN!'''''"
415* Agatha is worried she won't be a good ruler. Her seneschal assures her that she's got fifty generations of [[BadBoss lowered expectations]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111130 working for her]].
416-->'''Councillor 1:''' Two minutes, and she hasn't killed ''anyone!''\
417'''Councillor 2:''' A new ''record!''
418* Othar is a fountain of these.
419-->'''Boris:''' You found him?\
420'''Othar:''' But of course! Allow me to present Gilgamesh Wulfenbach--\
421''[beat]''\
422'''Othar:''' --[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111219 master of disguise!]]
423** Tarvek's expression just puts icing on the cake.
424* Franz, the dragon guardian of the Heterodynes' vault. His grumpy attitude makes him a walking laugh dispenser. First in his initial appearance in the cellars, then when he rewards Baron Oublenmach (Oublenmach is priceless here too), and then when he smashes a huge war-clank with the treasure bag. "'''Hey!''' I ''said'' '''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120104 rejoice]]'''!"
425* Check out the [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120109 third]] panel. Agatha now has a new sonic pitchfork thing...the shape of which does not exist!
426* ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120113 Foom!]]''
427-->'''Gil:''' ''[after punching [[OnlySaneMan the only guard the hat didn't convince]] in the face]'' When this is all settled, ''you'' get a promotion.
428* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120116 "I heard there was a HAT!"]]
429** Poor Gil reaching the end of his rope, re: Hats. "Who else could '''ever''' wear so '''majestic and commanding a hat?'''"
430* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120210 background event]] to hearing Klaus' story repeated. Apparently ''Tarvek'' is the only one who can actually like [[SelfDeprecation Foglio's storytelling]].
431* A small one, but when the 2/20/12 comic was first put up, it used "Hanger" instead of "Hangar". Whoops. The goof has since been corrected.
432* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120222 Bang "reuniting" with Tarvek,]] who had quite a storied run-in with her years ago. Even better, Tarvek wants her shot, but Gil elegantly ignores those requests while [=DuPree=] has fun hugging the ginger.
433-->'''Bang:''' (''with glee'') It's Prince "How Dare You"!!
434* [=DuPree=] [[InLoveWithYourCarnage finds out]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120224 what Vole likes best]].
435* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120229 Gil's new and improved (and untested) falling machine.]]
436-->'''Gil:''' I assure you, even if it doesn't "fly," exactly, it should reach the ground in one piece ''long'' before it explodes.
437* [[CloudCuckoolander Othar]] somehow still thinks [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120302 Tarvek is Gil's doppelganger.]]
438-->'''Othar:''' Wulfenbach! We meet again! Yes, ''at last'' I have ''found'' you— ''and'' your ''degenerate clone''!\
439'''Tarvek:''' [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne His]] '''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]'''
440* Gil's theatrics when dealing with [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120305 Tarvek and Othar]], as he shoves Tarvek in the falling machine 2.0, baits Othar into it, and sends them plummeting to Agatha's aid.
441-->'''Gil''': We must flee- for it is none other than '''Othar Tryggvassen, ''GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!''''' Vanquisher of eeeevil!\
442'''Othar''': Hey now! ''You'' make it sound absurd!\
443'''Gil''': We will make a '''daring escape''' in my '''amazing flying machine'''!\
444'''Tarvek''': Not the flying machine! '''[[AnythingButThat Not the flying machine]]'''!
445** Even better: the main reason why he puts Othar into it is because that increases the chance of Tarvek surviving the fall drastically. Of course Gil asks in exchange that Tarvek later explains ''how'' Othar survives falls in the first place.
446* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120326 "Special trousers. Very heroic."]]
447* Sanaa was quite embarrassed over Moloch's [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obvious crush on her]], as well as what a spaz he was about it.
448-->'''Sanaa:''' He's so ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080220 ridiculously useless]]''.\

455* Jager General Khrizhan [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120528 utilizing a healthy heaping of]] LoopholeAbuse to win the fighting contest.

460* That entire mini-arc is gold, really, from "What ''now''?! [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120627 More Jagers? Orphans?]] ''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Jager Orphans?]]''" to his dismay at the Hive Queen [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120702 pursuing him amongst a crowd]].
461-->'''Tarvek''': Oh come on! ''What's wrong with this monster''? Some of these people look delicious!
462* Tarvek has been assuming himself somewhat disposable for a little while now. Since no one bothered to tell ''Agatha'', [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120711 this page]] happens.
463-->'''Agatha:''' What are we supposed to do if you go and get yourself '''killed?!'''\

465* "''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120716 FOUL!]]''"
466* In the middle of a battle [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120718 von Mekkan is making book]] on the Agatha-Gil-Tarvek LoveTriangle. The best bit is the random Jaegar who places fifty on himself.

472* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121121 Othar takes apart a clank to find a part:]]
473-->'''Othar:''' It needs one of those... ah, one of those... oh, how embarrassing. It's gone completely out of my head. Hold on. ''[SMASH! RRRIP! BASH! [[UnsoundEffect Rummage Rummage]]]'' You know, one of these!
474* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121126 Agatha's newly modified lightning stick/death ray accidentally blows up the tower they fought their way across town to get to.]] But that's not the funny part. The ''funny'' part is Von Zinzer's comment:
475-->'''Von Zinzer:''' ...How is it ''possible'' that this could surprise ''any'' of you people?
476** Even funnier is how everyone else has an OhCrap face, while Von Zinzer has a deadpan SeenItAll expression.

483* The castle asking [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130123 for a honest opinion about its defense mechanisms.]]
484-->'''Castle:''' Now be honest - ''I'' thought I was a bit ''slow'' just now. Would you say you: A) agree B) ''dis''agree or, C) think there's simply no fun in ''squashing'' them if they can't even ''see it coming''?
485* ''[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130213 "THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING IN MECHANICSBURG!"]]'' is both a hilarious and terrifying thing to hear a flying killer robot say as it crashes through a window.

490Note to Self: Needs more subtle title"''
491** ''"And in conclusion:\
492Muahahahaha!\
493etc."''
494* Agatha becomes GenreSavvy.
495-->'''Agatha:''' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130710 I am NOT your creator! You were NOT created to serve me! And I do NOT expect you to obey my orders OR crush my enemies!]]
496** You can see the monster is quite miffed at being robbed of his fun.
497** And [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130805 then]] the monster's GenreBlind creator comes in....
498*** And the monster looks to Agatha for confirmation! Not only does the monster have a questioning expression on, as if to ask "Is he serious?", but Agatha actually ''responds'' with another shrug.
499* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130807 Tweedle is trying to caution his sister of Agatha's competence]]:
500--> '''Martellus:''' You have ''no idea'' what this girl is capable of!\
501'''Xerxsephnia:''' So tell me. I do love a good [[TwoFistedTales Heterodyne story]]. But [[ThisIsReality this is real life]]. It's not as if she's in her own lab- or even her own ''town''. She's ''kilometers'' from Mechanicsburg, inside ''our'' fortress, in the ''dead of winter''. [[TemptingFate What can she do?]] ...[[RightBehindMe And why do you have that idiotic look on your face?]]
502* The [[RuleOfFunny mere]] [[InherentlyFunnyWords concept]] of [[CueTheFlyingPigs Schweincopters]] that Agatha [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130731 also created]]!
503** It is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Aircraft#Helicopters also]] a PunnyName.

508'''Ishtvan:''' Could it ''always'' do that?\
509'''Tweedle:''' How should ''I'' know? Knowing my grandmother's [[NoodleIncident parties]], ''probably''.
510* Punch is no longer TheSpeechless! In fact.... [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131016 it's actually kind of hard to make him shut up.]]
511* Gil, after [[CurbstompBattle effortlessly beating the crap out of Martellus, stomping him in the face repeatedly, and then ordering him to be killed if he speaks again]], asks [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131108 Violetta why she's terrified of him.]]
512** Ah, the very act of beating Martellus also counts. After making a surprised face, we get two panels of him stomping on the guy with a very rage-filled expression. And considering how much of an ass Martellus is, this random showcase of violence is very funny.
513* Adam and Lilith are parents! [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131209 Their daughter is very strong and hates baby talk.]]

519
520* A good spark ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140326 always]]'' comes [[CrazyPrepared prepared]].
521* As Gil is trying to find Agatha, he picks up one of the seven leads Dupree found... But this one leads to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140404 a Jäger in a blonde wig.]] Complete with fake boobs.
522-->'''Jäger:''' Hokay, sveethot! ''Here hy iz!'' Now ''dis'' iz de part vere hyu tells me dot hyu luffs me for my ''brains!''

524-->'''Margarella Selnikov:''' How ... how do you know all ''that?''\
525'''Wooster:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder What exactly does the term "master spy"]] ''mean'' in this part of the world, anyway?\
526'''Krosp:''' [-hmm...-] "Sneaky gossip-monger"?\
527'''Wooster:''' [-That explains so much.-]
528** Wooster is also terrified [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140514 when he finds out that Agatha likes Tarvek]] since he fears it means "Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is going to go on a rampage that will reduce everything Ardsley Wooster loves to a wet pile of used tea leaves!"
529* The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140616 last time an eldritch abomination]] came into the world. Robur Heterodyne thought they were angels coming to punish him for his sins (though he wasn't really sure which ones). He had a crisis of faith and smashed the machine. Then he had pie. Crisis over.
530-->'''Castle:''' In many ways, he was a refreshingly ''simple'' man.
531* Also, last time, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140618 they had hats]]. Yes, in ''Girl Genius'', even the time-traveling {{Eldritch Abomination}}s make sure to pack a nice hat.
532* Krosp's [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140702 subterfuge.]]
533-->'''Krosp''': This is your own map, showing all the current obstacles--\
534'''Brother Ulm''': ''HOW DID YOU GET THAT!?''\
535'''Krosp''': [[CutenessProximity I'm cute.]]
536* Dimo and Krosp [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140711 deal with a Spark]] who's the epitome of an AbsentMindedProfessor.
537-->'''Krosp''': Why are we even ''still here''?\
538'''Dimo''': Iz hyu ''kidding''? An henemy like dis guy iz a ''ting of beauty''!
539* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140804 Gil has succesfully removed Vole from the timefield,]] which has caused him to age two centuries in as many minutes. He calls Dupree, apologizing for what he did to the Jager she liked...
540-->'''Bang:''' Oh, WOW! Gil! [[{{Squee}} Is it Christmas?]] [[InLoveWithYourCarnage My birthday?!]]
541* Even when gone, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140929 Agatha is able to]] [[LoveMakesYouStupid mess with Gil's head]].
542** Only topped by the fact that the two men caught kissing tried to explain themselves in the most ridiculous way. "It's '''ForScience!'''"
543* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141029 Martellus, minus coffee.]]
544** When the coffee arrives, it's in a mug that says, "You don't have to be king to rule here--[[OhWait wait, yes you do!]]"
545* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141112 After Agatha learns]] that [[MechanicalAbomination the Beast]] is a sentient train that can fuel itself automatically and that needs no rails, she praises the design for its brilliance, which Ulm calls her out on. Only then does Agatha realize that it was ''[[MadScientist her family]]'' that built it, which prompts her to FacePalm.
546** [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141119 She later complains]] that her family couldn't even make a ''teapot'' without turning it into "[[DoomsdayDevice some kind of evil engine of destruction]]".
547* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141114 Father Gerät]] [[EntertaininglyWrong justifiably suspects]] that Martellus sent Lady Selnikov to release the Beast so that he would have a convenient excuse to bring his men into the fortress. [[NotMeThisTime While Martellus really had nothing to do with that]], he praises the Abbot for suggesting that he would do something like that and offers to make him one of his counsellors. When Father Gerät sarcastically protests that he would not fit in [[{{Nepotism}} since he's not one of his relatives]], Martellus quickly points out that this particular item [[BigScrewedUpFamily is at the very top of his "plus" column.]]
548* When Martellus and the Corbettites join forces to combat the Beast, Martellus is introduced to their general: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141121 their cook.]] Who proceeds to make Martellus look like a fool.
549--> '''Abbot''': According to Brother Vadaxxus, after twenty years of running the kitchen that feeds our brethren, planning a battle is ''easy''.
550* The Corbettites are getting desperate to defeat the monster. Agatha suggests using the secret, incredibly dangerous weapons they keep in their vaults. The monks protest, stating how they are merely to guard what is in those vaults...until they hear the ''kitchens'' have been destroyed.
551--> '''Monks''': '''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141201 TO THE VAULTS!]]'''
552* Violetta [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141208 mourns for her aunt]], as she ''was'' nice... so far as [[BigScrewedUpFamily her]] [[DecadentCourt family]] went, anyway.
553* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141219 The inscription on Humongulus' chest]]: DOST THOU EVEN LYFT?
554* Martellus [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20141222 tries to hit on Agatha]]. She [[GroinAttack hits back]].
555** A short while later, Agatha says the unthinkable: "That was also very helpful. Thank you, Martellus." [-"I... I take a quiet joy in the approbation of my colleagues."-] "Wow. He's learning."

560
561* Martellus' OhCrap face as [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150223 he realizes who the bears answer to now]]. Krosp's smug reaction is just icing on the cake.
562--> '''König''': Say-is this human bothering you, Master?\
563'''Krosp''': Oh, no. I'm quite enjoying this.
564* The monks adhere to their vows of sanctuary quite... ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150429 technically]]''.
565-->'''Brother Vadaxxus:''' Oh! My goodness, Father Abbot, he just ''fell over!''\
566'''Abbot:''' Why, it was as though an ''invisible hand'' struck him down, brother!\
567'''Brother Vadaxxus:''' Perhaps it was one of those legendary Smoke Knights!\
568'''Abbot:''' Ah! How ''mysterious!''\
569'''Violetta:''' Yeah, we get that a ''lot''.
570* The Beast has been reduced to its core, unable to do anything but hurl insults at his captors and desperately trying to keep train!Ulm focused on driving.
571* Agatha and company arrive in Paris, only to find out that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150603 she's rather popular already]], complete with an UrbanLegendLoveLife.
572-->'''Agatha''': "Now on sale - The Lightning Loves of Lady Heterodyne - Volume '''TWELVE'''?!"
573** That's not all:
574-->'''Agatha''': "Naughty Agatha" steam ''pantalettes''?!\
575'''Wooster''': Oh, dear. "In seven scandalous colors."
576** Zeetha, meanwhile, decides that what they need right now is information. [[SkewedPriorities And]] [[SweetTooth cake.]] Violetta prompts a chain of logic that culminates in Zeetha deciding to eat every cake she sees in order to overcome her fear of eating cakes that may be filled with "duplicitous evil" (read "[[SlippingAMickey drugs]]").
577--->'''Violetta:''' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference And]] ''[[DistinctionWithoutADifference how]]'' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference is this different from]] ''[[DistinctionWithoutADifference before?]]''\
578'''Zeetha:''' Now eating cake counts as ''training!''\
579'''Violetta:''' Ooooh. ''[[NotSoAboveItAll Not bad.]]''
580*** "...You have ''fears? Cake fears?''"
581* A poster [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150805 in the lab of a guy plotting to overthrow the Master of Paris]] reads: Today, Paris! Tomorrow, Paris. ''Don't get greedy.''
582** Also that the guy thinks his ally kidnapped Agatha for a date instead of a hostage.
583** The look on Agatha's face while bound and gagged isn't so much fear or anger as it is just annoyance. "Dammit, someone kidnapped me ''again?'' This is getting old."
584** When asked if he would like Agatha [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty bathed and brought to his private chambers]] ("[[EvilLaugh Mu ha.]]"), the guy retorts that Drusus really needs to stop reading Othar Tryggvassen adventure novels.
585* Overlapping with Moment of Awesome, Agatha's smile in the last panel [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150810 here]], as a fragment of the Castle's personality that's essentially taken over every engine in Paris like a Trojan comes to life.
586--> '''Drusus:''' I say, what on earth is that?\
587'''Agatha:''' That's ''mine''!
588* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150812 The Castle's fragment]] still retains its counterpart's low opinion of [[UnusualEuphemism organic subsystems]]:
589-->'''Drusus:''' ...Those are the ''people''.\
590'''Castle:''' ''Ugh'' -- and don't I ''know'' it.
591* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150831 Agatha treating the mini-castle like an adorable pet.]]
592-->'''Agatha''': Who is a ''clever'' little thing? Hmm?\
593'''Castle Clank''': Why, I believe it is I!\
594'''Agatha''': Oooh! Yes you are!
595** Which is also a callback to the wolf pack that had hunted Agatha before where their pack leader asked them who a bloodthirsty monster was and they excitedly rejoiced when he revealed it was them.
596* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150930 Higgs forces Gil to write a letter.]]
597* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150902 This comic,]] wherein Agatha uses the Castle Heterodyne fragment to force Professor Beausoleil (via his clank parts) to say whatever it wants him to. Her smug smile seals it.
598-->'''Beausoleil:''' For example - have I mentioned that my clank bodies are officially not city systems? And thus, the Master will never suspect that I have been surreptitiously embezzling cheese from his private larders! Muahahahaha-ha!\
599''[Beausoleil looks suitably stunned and embarrassed]''\
600'''Agatha:''' Who's a very, ''very'' clever little thing who's learned so much?!\
601'''Castle Clank''': Would you like to hear him quack like a duck?\
602'''Agatha:''' Oh, my, could you?\
603'''Beausoleil:''' Miss Heterodyne! How QUACK dare you - I will AWK personally see to it Quack QUACK! Quack QUACK QUACK '''QUACK QUACK!'''
604* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20151026 Agatha finds more]] spicy romance novels with her name in the title.
605-->'''Agatha:''' "[[{{Lemon}} The Lusty Loves of Lady Heterodyne, book fourteen: Conquest of the Heir.]]"\
606'''[[NotSoAboveItAll Violetta]]:''' Oooh! That's a ''good'' one! He "[[UnusualEuphemism loses!]]"
607** [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20151028 Flabbergasted as Agatha is]], she pays attention to a specific detail pointed out to her by Zeetha:
608--->'''Agatha:''' [[HeadTiltinglyKinky This... this is ridiculous!]] Not to mention ''[[AnatomicallyImpossibleSex impossible!]]''\
609'''Zeetha:''' Nah. You just need the right shoes.\
610'''Agatha:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll ...Really?]]
611** [[AllWomenAreLustful Zeetha]] asks Madame Desmana to throw in a set of those books as part of Agatha's purchase. Agatha is not amused.

The wasp eater wins.]]
619* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20151223 To defuse a situation]], Agatha needs something hammered into the ground, but has no tools handy. So she starts to ask Dimo to use his newly-equipped metal hand... only for him to use ''[[UseYourHead his face]]'' before she can clarify. Jenka gets in a nice DeadpanSnarker moment:
620-->'''Jenka''': Dunno. Hiz ''head'' iz probably ''harder''.
621* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160108 Boris tricks Dimo]] into carrying the Arguron King. It takes Dimo an entire page to realize.

627-->'''Larana''': ''EYURRGH!'' I did it ''again''! He actually ''noticed'' me and I--''ARGH''!\
628'''Zeetha''': ''Everybody'' in Paris can't be [[CannotSpitItOut like this]]. I mean, I've seen ''kids''.
629* A miniature copy of Castle Heterodyne held inside a dingbot treats going into a booby trapped set of crypts like a field trip to learn how to make its own better traps.
630* Thanks to Gil's efforts, Tarvek is saved from the time-field and being fatally poisoned. And while Gil is expositing, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160314 he's distracted by other matters]].
631-->'''Tarvek:''' What are these ugly suits we're wearing?\
632'''Gil:''' What? [[SpaceClothes It's the future.]] ''[[BlatantLies Everybody]]'' [[BlatantLies wears these.]]\
633'''Tarvek:''' I knew it. It's the end times.
634* Tying to the above, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160318 Bangladesh trying her damnedest to peek on their guest while he cleans himself up.]]
635* The Incorruptible Library deliver Agatha's monograph to Gil, but [[DoYouWantToHaggle there's a cost...]]
636-->'''Child Librarian:''' '''Fifty chocklit mimmoths!''' - an' a perfect electroplate zapicheep card!\

651* One of the clerks working the underground lift hopes for a [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor barely dressed underworlder]]. Lucky him [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160907 gets his wish granted instantly.]]
652* Agatha ''[[NoJustNoReaction refuses]]'' to show up to Grandmother's party [[GoGoEnslavement dressed as she is.]] She reconsiders briefly when Zeetha suggests that, being the fashion icon that she has become, Agatha could convince everyone to dress like that, which leads to Agatha [[ImagineSpot imagining]] [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160912 Gil and Tarvek]] [[FemaleGaze wearing slave outfits.]]

665** When this doesn't prove enough to convince her brother, Seffie decides to just [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160916 whack him with a wrench.]] Luckily for Martellus, their grandmother interrupts her before she can do so.
666* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160930 "Dun be ridiculous. Hyu gots VEY too much HETERODYNE HAM for doze pants."]]

668* The disposal of the array is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161026 quite conveniently timed.]]
669--> '''Dimo:''' Erm... Dit hyu ''plan'' dot?\
670'''Agatha:''' Plan what?
671* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161104 Working under pressure]].

673'''Agatha:''' ''(annoyed)'' You know, I only make this ''LOOK'' easy.
674* Agatha repurposing one of the child-catcher clanks [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161202 by installing the Castle.]]
675-->'''Violetta''': Uh... does it still think we're all children?
676-->'''Agatha''': Well....
677-->'''Castle!Clank''': ''(brandishing Agatha's newly-built {{BFG}})'' '''ALL RIIIIIGHT! NO MORE VELVET GLOVES, YOU LITTLE PUNKS!'''
678* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161205 Agatha's continuing clothes problems]], mid-running battle. "[[TemptingFate It's not like I'm going to battle a horde of socialites on the way!]]" "There she is!" "And look how she's dressed!" "GET HER!"
679-->'''Zeetha:''' Wow. You ''can'' find ''anything'' in Paris!
680* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161216 The Paris Ball]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161219 is just]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161221 filled with]] people dressed in costume [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]]. A small list includes [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi]], [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Loki]], [[WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine Chief Blue Meanie]], [[ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} Hellboy]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Medusa]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Flame Princess]], [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans the Skeleton]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]].
681** The Sephiroth guest is accompanied by a little gremlin that clings to his ankles singing an infamously [[MondegreenGag warped]] version of a certain iconic theme song:
682--->''...bells, frogs, big cherries, Literature/PeterPan, magic cheese...''
683** During the ball, there's a small BrickJoke built on top of a NoodleIncident:
684--->'''Colette:''' Please tell me you're not having those ''jugglers'' again.\
685'''Seffie:''' I ''told'' you, they just showed up. ''We'' didn't actually ''hire'' them.
686** Next page, after Martellus' entrance as Storm King gets preempted by the arrival of the Queen of the Dawn's airship:
687--->'''Aide:''' Your Majesty, the ''jugglers''...\
688'''Martellus:''' Oh... Uh... Cancel the jugglers.
689* "''[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170104 Grandmama!]]'' You mustn't beat your servants! ''[[BaitAndSwitchComment Your]] [[DoWrongRight shoulder!]]''"
690** Seffie continues on [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk this streak]]: "''[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170201 Yeek!]]'' Don't kill ''Martellus!'' I ''need'' him for my newest ''master plan!''"
691* An example of BilingualBonus: [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170125 Colette's code]] to access the city systems is "''un deux trois Mon chat est bleu''." That's French for "one two three my cat is blue."
692** Just before that, Tarvek is complimented on sounding just like his grandfather, [[ParentalSexualitySquick which he did not enjoy hearing]].
693* Martellus' previous time in Paris [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170210 left him a little traumatised.]]
694* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170320 As the Master zaps Andronicus]], the Castle cheers by yelling out "''FinishHim''".
695* There's a zombie Storm King running amok in Paris that everyone has trouble to even slow down. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170324 But Da Boyz have an idea:]]
696--> '''Deemo:''' Hyu vants to make dis guy ''schtupid'' mad? Hyu shows him something he ''really hates''!\
697'''Oggie:''' Hey! Dot's ''us''!\
698'''Maxim:''' Yah! Dibs on his ''hat''!
699** And then [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170417 they start running interference]] by complaining about [[EvilGloating Andronicus' grandstanding]].
700* After defeating Andronicus, the Knights of Jove [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170512 immediately stage a parade celebrating Martellus' victory]], with a spark who specializes in such matters.
701-->'''Terebithia''': Oh, yes! She used to do children's parties... [-then there was this [[NoodleIncident unfortunate incident]] with a thousand burning clowns-]...\
702'''Zola''': Ooh. I ''heard'' about that. ......can I ''borrow'' her?
703* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170609 Tarvek is tasked with putting the castle into Paris' systems]] while Agatha is ''busy'':
704--> '''Tarvek:''' But I wish Agatha were here. ''She'' knows how to make you jump... Where is she?
705--> '''Castle:''' She is using a Child Catcher to battle the Storm King. The ''train'' is driving. I am...[[BlatantLies sure they're fine]].
706--> '''Child Catcher:''' ''AAAALL ABOOOAARD!''
707--> '''People:''' ''AAAAAAHHHH!''
708* It's a comparatively sombre moment, as Master Voltaire has just been murdered, but the [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170616 many deaths of Beausoleil]] are both gratifying and superbly funny, complete with [[UnsoundEffect Unsound Effects]] like '''"Cube!"'''
709* The ClothingDamage sustained by Colette while taking control over Paris and avenging her father results in her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170630 making a very important announcement]] while completely naked and either not noticing or not caring due to her current state of mind. The announcement gets interrupted by Tarvek pulling a PleasePutSomeClothesOn moment on her.
710-->'''Colette:''' As of now--''[[IAmTheNoun I am Paris]]''. I will... ''(distracted by Tarvek)'' What are you ''doing?''\
711'''Tarvek:''' "Paris" needs pants!
712* We see a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20170719 dramatic conversation between Colette and Agatha]]. We also see a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Oggie trying to get a new hat. It becomes even funnier since it was a even less obvious FunnyBackgroundEvent on the page before.

716[[folder:Volume 5: Queens and Pirates]]
717
718* On the splash page showing [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171122 sunken London]], a whale passes by with "[[ProductPlacement Lovely day for a Guinness]]" written on its side.
719* When the ship he's aboard is accosted by his relatives' agents, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171129 the captain takes umbrage at being called a pirate]], though the captain of the opposing ship doesn't much care.
720-->'''Sturmvoraus Captain''': Well, you know what ''I'' say to ''you and your crew''?!\
721(''Two pirates are holding a gun to his head and cutlass to his throat'')\
722'''Pirate 1''': Oh, I can't ''wait'' to hear ''this''.\
723'''Pirate 2''': Quiet, Lucy. The man's ''[[FailedASpotCheck talking]]''.
724* "What have a bunch of dirty pirates got to counteract that?" [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171201 Well...]]
725* The werewolves that attack Tarvek's pirate ship are pretty scary, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171213 then they say their battle cry]]:
726-->'''Alpha Wolf:''' All right, boys, no witnesses! KILL THEM ALL!
727-->'''Other Wolves:''' KILL! KILL!
728-->'''Alpha Wolf:''' And then... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking TREATS!]]
729-->'''Wolves:''' [[BattleCry TREEEEEEEATS!]]
730* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171229 Tarvek's reactions to Gil's]] BigDamnHeroes moment are priceless.
731* After Gil introduces himself, Tarvek's pirates realize [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180126 the woman with him must be Bang]]. Cue [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee fannish squee]]:
732-->'''Captain Hawkins:''' Oh! Ohmigosh! Oh wow!
733-->'''Pirate 1:''' Is it really her?
734-->'''Pirate 2:''' It ''is'' her! She stabbed my mom once!
735-->'''Captain Hawkins & 1:''' ''Lucky!''
736-->'''Tarvek:''' Um-
737-->'''Gil:''' Yeah, this happens a lot.
738** Adding to the hilarity is how Bang gets one of Martellus' most deadly Smoke Knights to [[MercyKill beg for death]]: by [[YouFightLikeACow just endlessly prattling on instead of fighting]].
739* Bang quietly wakes up Tarvek in the middle of the night, though they differ on the finer points of "quietly":
740-->'''Tarvek:''' If you wanted me to wake up ''quietly'', why did you stick a ''knife'' to my face?\
741'''[[HeroicComedicSociopath Bang]]:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Geez, knives]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint are]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint quiet!]]
742* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180207 Poor Ardsley Wooster]] gets a ''major'' ExplainExplainOhCrap moment when talking about [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough someone crazy enough to hijack one of the Queen's vessels]].
743* Two ingredients for [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180314 one of Gil's worst nightmares]]: NakedFirstImpression and [[HeroWorship Trelawney Thorpe]]. It was Bang's idea and Tarvek liked it enough to go through with it.
744** Then there's the small matter of Gil hijacking a British sea serpent, which Tarvek justifies by invoking "Royal Pursuit and Rescue", saying Gil was duty-bound to rescue him. Trelawney points out that every time the British invoked R.P.R., it was in cases dealing with kidnapped royal ''princesses''. A smirking Gil says "It's ''totally applicable''."
745* Violetta [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180530 displays some decidedly uncharacteristic knowledge about fashion]], to the surprise of everyone else in the room.
746-->'''Violetta:''' Why are you all so ''surprised''? I spent practically my ''whole life'' with ''[[TheFashionista Tarvek]]''!
747* Gil's [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180601 succinct and accurate summary]] of Tarvek's allegiances.
748-->'''Gil:''' I trust Sturmvoraus to act in Agatha's best interest. Not mine, or the Empire's, or even humanity's as a whole - but definitely ''Agatha's''.
749* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180806 Wooster, Tarvek and Higgs undercover as an English tea boy]] are in a submarine, all going to the same place. A crisis restricts the number of people who will be allowed to disembark at the destination to Wooster and Tarvek. To let Higgs disembark as well, Tarvek pretends to have suddenly decided he wanted an attendant and to have given a coin to Higgs' cover identity for the job. Aware that he did Higgs a huge favor, Tarvek tries to get him to address him by his rank while giving his discreet thanks.
750-->'''Higgs''': [[DeadpanSnarker Not 'til I see that farthing]].
751** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190410 Months later]], it seems he actually [[BrickJoke did get that farthing]].
752* Gil, while on tour of an oddities museum, is told that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180813 they've just received canopic puzzle jars from Egypt]], which [[NoodleIncident Gil's encountered before]], and gave a thoroughly detailed account of how to open them so people wouldn't do it by mistake. [[ForScience Naturally, the museum had disregarded that part of it]].
753* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180820 When they meet Agatha]], Tarvek kisses Agatha (in front of Gil[=/=]Agatha ShipperOnDeck Wooster, for extra funny) to be able to discreetly tell her to pretend to not recognize Higgs. A very enamoured Zeetha almost blows Higgs' cover by giving him an enthusiastic hug and kiss as soon as she sees him. Higgs covers that up by claiming to be someone who ReallyGetsAround, Wooster falls for it, Tarvek replies he expected a sailor to have AGirlInEveryPort and Agatha just stifles a laugh.
754* Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180910 gets thwarted for the first time]], and would have been more insistent about it had her GrowlingGut not interrupted her griping.
755[[/folder]]
756
757[[folder:Volume 6: Sparks and Monsters]]
758* A member of a large laboratory's personnel turns out to have grown up in it due to being the love child of two staff members. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180917 Dimo calls it "a very common kind of lab accident".]]
759* Dupree [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181003 finally learns who'd wiped out her base]], and is ''[[InLoveWithYourCarnage ecstatic]]'' [[InLoveWithYourCarnage at just how epic the oncoming fight against Zeetha will be]].
760* Agatha needs someone normal to draw a spinal fluid sample from, and [[LockedOutOfTheLoop settles on Higgs]]. Tarvek's quick thinking is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181017 to come up with a needle phobia]], and [[BadBadActing Higgs' reaction]] sells it.
761* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181022 "Trelawny Thorpe! Surrender the young Baron to me, or face my shark men of DOOM!"]] [[SeenItAll Trelawny just looks so done.]]
762* Soon afterwards, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181031 Trelawny and Gil get attacked by a giant dinosaur-chicken]]:
763-->'''Trelawny:''' It's not always like this! Just Wednesdays!
764-->'''Gil:''' Trust me, [[AdventureFriendlyWorld I understand]].
765** Even better is the stealth ShoutOut to Dina of the {{Webcomic/Walkyverse}}.
766* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181105 A discussion about demon summoning]] happens while the reader and Tarvek know of Higgs' true nature, but Agatha doesn't:
767-->'''Agatha:''' ''[smugly]'' I mean, you can't just say, "[[InadvertentEntranceCue appear before me, all-powerful creature]]" and expect --\
768'''[[AlmightyJanitor Higgs]]:''' ''[appears out of ButlerSpace in his attendant persona, freaking out Tarvek in the process]'' Tea?\
769'''Agatha:''' Oh! Yes, thank you!
770* Gil absolutely ''loses his shit'' when [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181210 Lady Astarte recalls]] having met [[TheCasanova a very different kind of Klaus Wulfenbach]] to [[PerpetualFrowner the one we (and he) are familiar with]].
771-->'''Trelawny:''' We hope to consult the Queen's memory.
772-->'''Lady Astarte:''' Well of course. What about?
773-->'''Gil:''' ''[absolutely flipping out] This impostor claiming to be my father!''
774** Really, this one line does it.
775--->'''Gil:''' The man who thinks that "romance" is a '''type of [[IsItSomethingYouEat lettuce]].'''
776* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181228 A group of conspirators]] take a very... ''MadScientist'' approach to [[MuggingTheMonster eliminating Higgs]]:
777-->'''Conspirator:''' Aieee! Wait! Wait! ''Wait!'' Over there! That was Sturmvoraus' dogsbody!
778-->''[Higgs somehow [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe goes through at least six different facial expressions in three panels]].]''
779-->'''Conspirator:''' Although he is quietly sitting out of the way and bothering no-one... ''he must die!'' '''''Release the Smakken!'''''
780-->'''Higgs:''' ... The what?
781-->'''SMACK!''' ''[Giant tentacle smacks Higgs off his chair]''
782** In the first panel of the same page, Higgs enjoying a moment of peace and quiet, chilling out... with a fish. Just that whimsical moment of calm report in a comic mostly consisting of people frantically running around makes his tired reaction to the events that follow even more funny.
783* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190107 Tarvek and a henchman]] share a moment pointing out Lord Snackelford being WrongGenreSavvy:
784-->'''Tarvek:''' I '''have''' a gun.
785-->'''Henchman:''' He '''does''' have a gun.
786* Tarvek and Higgs's CasualDangerDialogue [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190111 while fighting the Smakken]] as they discuss [[FantasticMeasurementSystem different monster scales]].
787* Agatha knows her monsters, [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190116 and how to trap them]].
788-->'''Agatha:''' Did it have other trains you could blow up?\
789'''The Beast:''' 's...\
790'''Agatha:''' Then we'll say no more about it.
791* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190215 The mini-Castle Heterodyne demonstrates its bona fides to Tarvek and Higgs.]] What makes it is that the mini-Castle looks so cheerful and Krosp (who it's standing on) looks so done with it all.
792-->'''Castle:''' [...] Kill him, and let's be off.
793-->'''Higgs:''' Yep. [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay That's the Castle.]]
794* Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190225 managed to persuade another Spark to open up parts of the machine]], to the point that even [[TuxedoAndMartini Wooster]] and [[WarriorPrincess Zeetha]] are astonished... as is the scientist she'd persuaded.
795* Sometimes, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190412 it's just not worth trying to communicate]] with an EldritchAbomination.
796-->'''Tarvek:''' Ha! I can ''work'' with this!
797-->''[[SwallowedWhole Glomf.]]''
798* Seffie [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190506 pays the man she'd hired for information]] who rejects helping her any further because he's gone so long without sleep that he's dead on his feet. Her guard, Sparafucile, [[ImpliedDeathThreat simply smiles at him]].
799-->'''Quinster''': ''Aaand'' here I am, ''suddenly and miraculously'' '''''wide awake'''''!\
800'''Seffie''': The curse of competence!
801* Gil [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190508 engages in some]] BriefAccentImitation, much to Trelawney's chagrin.
802-->'''Trelawney''': Never, ''ever'' talk like that again.\
803'''Gil''': ''[[DefensiveWhat What]]''? I'm just trying to ''fit in''!
804* Agatha regrets [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190605 Vapnoople ending up in another dimension]]. Wooster provides a sanity check:
805-->'''Agatha:''' It's too bad. I think there's a lot I could have learned from him.
806-->'''Wooster:''' Yes! All kinds of things! Terrible, evil things! Ways to warp nature and create bizarre, monstrous abominations of science!
807-->''[beat]''
808-->'''Wooster:''' -[[AndThatWouldBeWrong And that would be]] '''[[AndThatWouldBeWrong bad]]!'''
809-->'''Agatha:''' '''''I knew that'''''!
810* Tarvek is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190617 insistent that they finally get Lucrezia out of Agatha's head]] before ''another'' distraction emerges.
811-->'''Dimo''': Hoo. Haz he ''alvayz'' been dis smart?\
812'''Higgs''': (''Smugly'') Think this might be a high-water mark, actually. (''Violetta is stifling a giggle in the background as Tarvek frowns'')
813* The way Tarvek extracts Klaus' overlay from Gil is [[RefugeInAudacity one hilarious act of boldness after the other]]:
814## [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190626 Get Agatha out of the room]] to get Gil back in control, then convince him to step into the extraction device under the pretense that it will help get Lucrezia out of Agatha's head.
815## Get Agatha back in the room to bring Klaus back.
816## [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190703 When Agatha turns out to have suddenly gone missing]], take advantage of the fact that the extraction device is currently covering Gil's eyes to ''pretend'' that Agatha is back in the room, and claim that Gil is considering making Othar the head of the Empire's diplomatic corps to get Klaus back in control.
817## Activate the extraction device.
818## Test whether the extraction worked or not by asking Gil to hand his Empire over to Agatha.

821[[folder:Volume 7: The Exorcism Engines]]
822* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190722 No-one can believe Martellus would tell the truth]], even with [[LivingLieDetector Krosp]] backing him up, suggesting that he's ill, that it's not Martellus, or that they're dreaming.
823* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190724 Gil and Tarvek's solution to dealing with Martellus.]]
824-->'''Dimo''': Hy might be better at [[AggressiveNegotiations dis politiks ting]] den hy thought...
825* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190731 Tarvek points out]] that even with Klaus' overlay gone, Agatha's proximity will still cause a personality change in Gil: he'll turn into an idiot due to LoveMakesYouStupid. He gets proven right within a page of making the statement.
826* When under attack, Martellus [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190812 tells Sparafucile that she can help fight against them]].
827-->'''Sparafucile''': I live to serve, my Prince! (''With a SlasherSmile'') Hee hee hee! I'm serving!\
828'''Martellus''': (''To Violetta'') [[AxCrazy Just don't get between her and any enemies]].\
829'''Violetta''': Ah.
830** Later on, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190923 she mentions to Maxim]] that she'd majored in Behavioral Psychology and minored in ''[[ADegreeInUseless theater]]'', with her dissertation combining the two.
831--->'''Sparafucile''': Which means all I ''usually'' have to do is smile like ''[[SlasherSmile this]]'' - and I don't have to kill ''[[KnowWhenToFoldEm anybody]]''!\
832'''Maxim''': Dot iz... ''verra impressive''.
833** Later still, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190925 she tells Higgs]] why she takes what Sparks say with a pinch of salt:
834--->'''Sparafucile''': I've worked around Sparks all my life! I don't know if a down-to-earth person like you will understand, but some of the things they believe--if you take them too seriously--it can drive you insane!\
835'''Higgs''': ... No, no-- I get it.\
836'''Sparafucile''': There are ''not'' little people living inside my ears!
837* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191009 Dimo suggests puncturing people's eardrums to avoid Lucrezia regaining control]]. A testy Rakethorn [[StatingTheSimpleSolution points out they could just stop up their ears instead]]:
838-->'''Dimo''': Hy know, brodder, sometimes hy tink pipple dun ''vants'' us to give dem battle scars.\
839'''Maxim''': Vot? Den vhy does they alvays pick fights?
840* When Anevka!Lucrezia shows up to save Agatha!Lucrezia, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191014 Anevka!Lucrezia lets exactly the wrong thing slip in front of Tarvek]].
841* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191023 As Agatha!Lucrezia begins her transformation into a Queen]]:
842-->'''Tarvek''': Perhaps... perhaps she'll achieve a higher consciousness and [[HeelRealization realize that her evil machinations will never bring her happiness?]]\
843'''Agatha!Lucrezia''': ''Yessss! '''The ascension, it's happening! Fascinating!''''' The neural pathways-- the alterations in chemistry-- they are already there-- ''just waiting!'' It's coming together! I can see the levers of the universe! Soon, I will be able to reach out and touch them... and then, I will ''kill you all!''\
844'''Martellus''': Well, it was a nice thought...
845* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191120 As our heroes assess what they need to do after having removed Lucrezia from Agatha's mind]], the mini-Castle urges them to follow the cultists leaving the dome, but they're all focused on other important things instead. Until finally:
846-->'''Mini-Castle''': They have activated the dome's self-destruct mechanism!\
847'''Agatha''': Perhaps you should have led with that?\
848'''Mini-Castle''': Really? Only, I thought there was already a superabundance of drama in the room-
849* Rakethorn, Dimo and Maxim set off to rescue the people still in the dome's kitchens, only to run into a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191202 few]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20191204 problems]] along the way.
850* Dimo helping the Deepspeaker with his flowery insults.
851-->'''Deepspeaker:''' These - these -\
852'''Dimo:''' Desiccated dust huffers?\
853'''Deepspeaker:''' Ye- STOP DOING THAT!
854** "We require-!" "Lunch!" "... Lunch is good."
855* The sheer absurdity of Agatha preventing a [[ApocalypseHow Class Z apocalypse]] simply by ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200316 demanding the weapons in her mermaid disguise be removed]]''.[[note]]On a more serious note, it turns out there is good reason for this. It turns out hiding a bunch of weapons in an outfit meant for diplomacy isn't the smartest idea when the other party has a means of detecting them. The implication is that the denizens of the Deep would've considered it an act of war, Agatha and her companions would've been killed, and things would've gone south from there for the entire world. Fortunately, Agatha overrides her sparky impulses and uses some common sense.[[/note]]
856** When Agatha orders them to remove the weapons, one of the sparks childishly whines "Don't wanna!", when Agatha insists on it, that same spark says they're doing it "Under protest!"
857* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200325 Agatha discovers why the Deepspeaker's so high-strung.]]
858* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200420 One of the Deepspeaker's acolytes isn't happy]] about being assigned as an emissary to Albia:
859-->'''Deepspeaker''': You will find many more stories for your collection.\
860'''Acolyte''': I don't ''need'' more stories!\
861'''Deepspeaker''': It will be educational.\
862'''Acolyte''': These days, I collect recipes!\
863'''Deepspeaker''': Nevertheless, it is the Holy One's will.\
864'''Acolyte''': But I thought we were going to ''eat'' them! Not live with them!\
865'''Deepspeaker''': Now now, spratling. We are all disappointed.
866* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200422 When it turns out that the submarine is basically going to be sneezed out]]:
867-->'''Tarvek''': Great. So now we're considered an irritant.\
868'''Gil and Martellus''': You should be used to that.\
869''[Gil and Martellus just stare at each other.]''\
870'''Gil''': Well, that takes all the fun out of it.\
871'''Martellus''': Jinx! You owe me a drink.
872** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200424 Later]], Seffie, who slept through most of the recent events (since before Lucrezia was extracted from Agatha), asks Martellus for an update. Martellus thinks back over everything that's happened, and decides to lead with the fact Gil owes him a drink.
873[[/folder]]
874
875[[folder:Volume 8: An Entertainment in Londinium]]
876* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200501 Seffie]] ends up with a bunch of candy and desserts in her hair and to avoid embarrassment in front of the queen [[SureLetsGoWithThat tries to pass it off as a new fashion from Paris.]] The reason she had candy in her hair in the first place? The sub had accelerated and she had gotten hit full on in the face with the ''dessert tray''.
877-->'''Seffie''': Am I going to have to wear food in my hair all day?!?\
878'''Martellus''': The waiters did warn us that the sub was about to launch.
879** Even better, it's followed up on by Albia when she asks Seffie to dance, and makes it clear she knew exactly what happened and rolled with it, telling her [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200610 "So, shall we agree that you owe us?"]]
880* Seffie and Agatha's reponse to Martellus criticizing the confectionary hair ornaments they are passing off as a new trend:
881-->'''Seffie''': ''[to Agatha]'' Just so you know, I'm okay with you killing him now.\
882'''Agatha''': Oh, I couldn't! When he dies, I want him to understand why!\
883'''Seffie''': Well then, [[StealthInsult I do believe he will live forever]].
884* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200522 Tarvek plots to embarass Gil in front of Agatha]] by simply letting Gil [[OpenMouthInsertFoot talk to her as himself]]. Violetta complements him on his deviousness, only for his plot to fail because [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200525 Gil and Agatha simply share]] a DanceOfRomance, instead. Tarvek is not amused.
885* Members of Queen Albia's court are very obviously trying to keep Agatha and her suitors separated, with Trelawney Thorpe keeping Gil occupied and Doctor Rakethorn doing the same with Agatha. Tarvek [[TemptingFate gets cocky and suggests it will be much harder to keep him occupied]], only for Albia to turn out have had a ''Muse'' up her sleeve the whole time.
886** Soon after...
887-->'''Seffie''': That sounded like Tarvek squealing...\
888'''Martellus''': Probably saw a [[TheFashionista mismatched cuff button.]]
889* The Queen decides to have a dance with Gil and unleashes a brilliant diss on him.
890-->'''Gil:''' And will her majesty lead?
891--> '''Albia:''' Thank you, Herr Baron, but no. Given the current state of Europa, we imagine you can use the practice.
892* Afterward, Albia passes Gil's hand back to [[ShipperOnDeck Trelawney Thorpe]], causing the nearby [[{{Yandere}} Seffie]] to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200610 absolutely seethe in barely-contained rage]].
893-->'''Martellus:''' Calm yourself, Seffie. Allow me to dance with Albia, free of concern for your '''blood pressure'''.
894* Master Payne's circus returns, and Agatha reunites with the Countess, catching up with the troupe and making up for lost time (the last the troupe had heard was the fact that Mechanicsburg was timestopped). Agatha promises to tell them what happened afterwards -- and then realizes that they've already made a play based on her adventures (up to the Mechanicsburg arc). When the play's first performance is shown later that night, everyone but Agatha is a ''very'' unflattering caricature. [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200622 The faces made by the their real counterparts are priceless]], while Agatha's reaction implies that she was much better at getting into the spirit of things.
895** "Eat my death ray!" "'''EAT PIE!'''"
896** Particularly amusing is Zeetha's expression, not only because it's the most over-the-top, but because she travelled with the circus for ''two years'' before meeting Agatha, so there's no reason for them to portray her in such a manner. They also got her hair colour wrong.
897*** After the show concludes, [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200706 Tarvek and Gil both proclaim]] INeedAFreakingDrink.
898* After several pages of sneaking around at the Queen's party, Agatha reveals her plan for mischief. Unleash the Jager Horde! [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200819 On the snackbar]].
899** Prior to this, though, Agatha was keen on [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200727 gauging how Albia would react]] to such a surprise, as one of her professors tended to "disintegrate first, ask questions later" when it came to surprises. And yet [[FridgeHorror he professed a love of Surprise Parties]]...
900** And after the surprise is unveiled, [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200824 one of the nobles gets]] a bit ''too'' into it, going full-blown ArentYouGoingToRavishMe due to her love of the [[{{Filth}} Jager romance novels]] by [[MeaningfulName Lady Torrida Von Swak]].
901--->'''Dimo''': ...''[[FlatWhat Vot]]''?
902* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200828 After Agatha]] [[RefugeInAudacity asks Albia to dance]], Tarvek explains to a confused Krosp the magnitude of her tactlessness.
903-->'''Tarvek:''' When Albia is on her balcony, we're supposed to act as though she ''isn't there''.\
904'''Krosp:''' Since when?\
905'''Tarvek:''' ''I'' don't know! Since the last ''[[TimeAbyss ice age]]'', at ''least!''\
906'''Krosp:''' Ah. So there's ''precedent.''
907* Agatha and co. run into Dupree again and she stabs Tarvek. Gil freaks out, but not because Tarvek is injured.
908-->'''Gil:''' Dupree! '''Must''' you embarrass me in front of my friends!?
909* Krosp has been stealing Agatha's food. Gil comes in with a sandwich which Krosp proceeds to steal and eat only for Gil to reveal that the sandwich is spiked with [[FireBreathingDiner ridiculously spicy peppers]]. We see the aftermath as Krosp's face turns red and steam starts shooting out of his ears.
910* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210301 The apathetic captain, and the depths to which he truly does not care]].
911-->'''Mawda:''' Well, ''now'' I kind of want to ''keep him''.
912* Tarvek is pleasantly surprised when Gil speaks of him as his "trusted advisor" in military matters:
913-->'''Gil:''' I didn't chase you across Europa and violate Britain's border for your ''fashion sense''.\
914'''Tarvek:''' ''That'' much is ''tragically obvious''.
915* Krosp I, Emperor of All Cats, meets Martellus's cat. And... well...
916-->'''Krosp:''' There's a caaat!\
917'''Agatha:''' WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!\
918'''Krosp:''' A CAAAAAAAT!\
919'''Gil:''' ''(grabs Krosp)'' ''You-''\
920'''Krosp:''' But... but... ''CAT!''
921* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210412 Kjarl is explaining]] why he doesn't think the Mechanicsburg time-stop will be ''too'' much of a problem.
922-->'''Kjarl''': If it was ''very'' bad - heh - why, ''then'' you would have ''[[IfOnlyYouKnew Dreen]]''.
923* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210416 Krosp spends his time moping about Martellus's cat]], but no one pays him any attention. Then he says he's ''[[OutOfCharacterMoment not hungry...]]''
924-->'''Agatha:''' ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness All right]]''. Tell me about this "other cat".
925* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210421 Bang tells everyone]] how [[LargeHam Martellus is the kind of guy who will make damn sure every soul in Europa will know when he's dead]]. When Zeetha expresses a desire to stick a knife in him just to see what that would look like, [[BloodKnight Bang becomes enthusiastic at the prospect]].
926-->'''Bang:''' Blood and pretzels! ''[[InLoveWithYourCarnage I love you!]] '''Let's kill him together!'''''

928
929[[folder:Volume 9: The Chronometric Lantern Expedition / The Hunt for Prende's Lantern]]
930* Higgs protesting that he doesn't need treatment after being bitten by venomous giant rats:
931-->'''Violetta''': ''Fine''. When you're ''dead'', I'm going to set Princess Zeetha up on a date with ''Oggie''.
932-->'''Zeetha''': Ooh--I ''do'' like a man who's ''still alive''.
933-->'''Higgs''': [[KnowWhenToFoldEm ...gimme the shot.]]
934* Upon meeting up with Boris, who makes a minorly disparaging comment about Dimo being in charge of the Jagers, Tarvek makes a crack about him missing their "childish antics."
935-->'''Boris:''' I assure you, Prince Sturmvoraus, [[BigScrewedUpFamily your family]] has ''admirably'' taken up the slack.\
936'''Tarvek:''' Do I look surprised? I ''do not.''
937* Othar returns, with Geistderdamen, who he's told all about Gil... and [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210825 Tarvek]].
938* Exploring the mysterious ruins find some ancient tablets. Then Neena [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210915 starts translating]].
939-->'''Neena:''' Let's see: "[[{{Lemon}} Forlak found he could retreat no further. 'My Lady!', he cried. 'This is unseemly! I am your Chief Guard! We must not--']]" Uh-- perhaps the translation we have at home isn't... Um... as ''accurate'' as we ''thought?''\
940'''Zeetha:''' ''[[AllWomenAreLustful Keep reading!]]''
941** Neena does keep reading, only this time she's ''[[NotSoAboveItAll smiling]]''.
942--->'''Neena:''' "Grinning, the Captain began to unbuckle his brazen cuirass. 'Well, my Lady,' he drawled, 'if that be ''an order...'' '"\
943'''Zeetha:''' Oh, it is! It ''is!''
944* As Neena and Zeetha discuss the schematics they've found, [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20211119 the bear they're with starts going]] towards [[DontTouchItYouIdiot the mummified corpses nearby]]... until he sees Agatha giving him [[DeathGlare a Look]], and stomps away in a sulk.
945* When the Mirror synchronizes and manages to open a window to Skifander, Zeetha and Higgs share a tender moment as they make plans for her to finally show him her home and meet her mother. A heartwarming beat...before before Higgs gets a ''look'' and...
946-->'''Higgs (skeptical):''' Do I ''really'' have to [[LetsYouAndHimFight fight her?]]\
947'''Zeetha (excited):''' [[InLoveWithYourCarnage Hee hee! It's going to be so amazing!!]]
948* Bang's men capture the nameless apathetic airship captain, who has been taking ''everything'' in stride up until this point and clearly does not give a damn about anything, willing to cooperate. The one thing that actually makes him go OhCrap? [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220218 Encountering Bang herself.]] Not because of her reputation, but because ''[[DisappearedDad he's her father]]''. Apparently he left because he ''really didn't want to be a pirate king''.
949** Bang points out that he's basically a 'Professional Castaway' which, in nautical terms, could be seen as a different way of saying 'Professional [[LazyBum Bum]]'
950** Really, just the fact that Bang calls him ''[[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas daddy]]''.
951* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220228 After several thousand years, the Other discovers a downside re; immortality...]]

959* In the middle of their fight, Monahan takes [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220620 a moment]] to gripe on Lucrezia for [[StealingTheCredit stealing one of her projects]] when [[PettyChildhoodGrudge they went to school together]].
960* Krosp is given the task of keeping giant, flying rats at bay while Agatha and Rakethorn work on the ship's engine. When Krosp complains that he can't possibly do that, Rakethorn gives him electrostatic gloves to [[ShockAndAwe zap the rats]]. [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220624 Krosp is leaking with delight at the prospect.]]
961-->'''Krosp:''' [[EvilLaugh Muhahahaha!]] ''Kaboom! Hahahahaha!'' Why didn't you give me these to ''start with?''\
962'''Rakethorn:''' Because they're ''mine''.\
963'''Krosp:''' ''Ha!'' They ''were! HAHAHA!''
964* When a spear pins his hat to the wall, the [[UnfazedEveryman nameless captain]] [[CasualDangerDialog reports to Bang]] that the ship is [[CaptainObvious taking fire from the hostiles]].
965* Neena panics and [[SummonBiggerFish summons Albia]] to [[TheCavalry rescue the gang]]. An exasperated Krosp is baffled that she could've done it at any time.
966* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230925 While having cake with Monahan]], Violetta pours a cup of tea for Zeetha. [[SpitTake She promptly spits the tea]] once [[IAteWhat Agatha's wasp eater pops out of the teapot]].
967** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent One of Monahan's rats offers Violetta a plate of muffins while wearing a toque]]. ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', anyone?
968* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20231002 Princess Neena is not a stowaway]]. She's a [[DistinctionWithoutADifference surprise, freelance member of Agatha's expedition to Mechanicsburg, joining quietly to avoid undue fuss]].
969* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20231009 When Gil lists all the things]] that make Terebithia [[EvilMatriarch a rather nasty person]], Tarvek and Seffie agree with him on the spot, beaming with pride at the fact that their grandmother's StillGotIt at her age.
970* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20231023 After discovering Neena on their ship and convincing Doctor Rakethorn to have her stay,]] Violetta and Agatha discuss what Doctor Rakethorn was trying to do. As they go over all the people who are vying for Agatha's attention, Krosp says that Agatha is wearing catnip pants! Agatha responds to this by trying to crush Krosp into a teapot.

Everyone else staring in shock just adds to the hilarity.

1008* When her EvilStepmother keeps smashing her projects, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081128 Agatha busts out her hive of specially-bred quilting bees]]. And the Stepmother's fabrics (including her ''hair'') is indeed quilted later on.
1009--->'''Cinderella''': '''So''' WorthIt.

1011** It's bad enough that winning the hand of the prince (or one of them, anyway) in a science fair is incredibly irresponsible from a geopolitical point of view, but what really gets Agatha back on track is the fact that the princes are inordinately fond of [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking miniature volcanoes.]]
1012--->'''Cinderella:''' Right. Original plan, ''[[LetsGetDangerous back on.]]'' Let's show these rubes some ''real science!''

Naturally, Agatha comments that it feels like she missed something important... [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210212 And then in the finale]] as Agatha, Violetta and Zeetha ride off in the Jaeger's sled, the Storyteller finds the Professoressa and asks her if she had a good time, the latter doesn't respond...so the Storyteller brings out a slice of cake prompting the Professoressa to respond "Oooh! ''''Cake!''''
1016
1017!!Franz Scortchmaw: The Quest for Gold and Sequels
1018* As Franz prepares to go raid the hoard of another dragon in search of [[WickedCultured books]], [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220914 he reluctantly asks Mamma Gkika]] to watch over his hoard while he's gone, specifically forbidding her from, amongst other things, [[WildTeenParty throwing a party.]] Naturally, that is exactly what the Jägers will do as soon as he is out the door, if them hiding behind a corner with a cake and drinks and explicitly saying so is any indication.
1019** Not that Franz doesn't suspect as much, of course. But as Mamma points out, he's never actually ''caught'' them doing any of the things he just forbade her from doing. Which irritates him to no end.
1020--->'''Mamma Gkika:''' Tsk. ''Dis'' is vy hyu needs a ''goot vacation'', sveetie.\
1021'''Franz:''' ''THIS'' IS A ''WORK RELATED EXPEDITION!''
1022* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20220919 Franz's contract]] includes paid sabbaticals which accumulate over time if he does not take them. To date he's owed exactly ''fifty-six years and three months''.
1023-->'''Franz:''' Those ''[[WeirdTradeUnion Monster Guild]]'' dues are ''worth every penny!''
1024** Vidonia quickly figures out one of the reasons he accumulates so much time off is precisely ''because'' of the Jägers being up to no good while he's gone, thus ensuring he's never gone for long.
1025* Once the train reaches their destination, Franz complain about "party creep," the tendency for treasure-seeking expeditions to attract new members and hangers-on. It turns out they've collected a [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221121 classic adventuring party]]: Fighter (Humongulous), Spark (Lumi), Cleric (Brother Marcus), and Thief (Vipsania). Vipsania takes great exception to being deemed a thief, burglar, or rogue.
1026* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221026 Franz literally can't sleep]] [[DragonHoard unless he's sitting on treasure.]]
1027* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221123 Not being used]] to personally collecting the treasure, Franz grumbles that now he has to actually walk and carry stuff. Cue Franz volunteering an overenthusiastic Humongulus to do just that.
1028-->'''Humongulus:''' HUMONGULUS HAS A PURPOSE!\
1029'''Vipsania:''' How do you ''sleep'' at night?
1030** [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221125 What appears to be]] a doomsayer warns the party to leave. Or ''tries'' to; Humongulus panics and chucks Franz's stuff at him.
1031--->'''Franz:''' That was ''my stuff!''\
1032'''Humongulus:''' ''This'' is why Humongulus ''cannot carry nice things.''
1033* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221205 As the party prepares to camp out]] and Vipsania prepares to tell her story, Humongulus casually decides to [[BlaseBoast dig a lake.]]
1034-->'''Humongulus:''' This sounds like a ''big talky story''. Humongulus would rather ''dig!''
1035* Professor Blintzie von Wyrmhaut is quickly proving herself a walking CMOF, with LargeHam tendencies on par with Othar (Gentleman Adventurer). For instance, when explaining a trap that only works with a certain type of dragon fire:
1036-->'''Student:''' ...But professor, isn't all dragon fire the same? I thought-- ''([[DisproportionateRetribution Gets promptly blasted by Wyrmhaut]])''\
1037'''Wyrmhaut:''' ''You shame your university!'' This material was covered in chapter 12!\
1038'''Another Student''': But professor! You only had us read up to chapter 11!\
1039'''Wyrmhaut:''' ''(Checks text book in surprise)'' Chapter 12 will ''not'' be on the test!\
1040'''Students:''' ''(Cheer)''
1041* Lumi swipes the thingamabob that Vipsania intends to use to alter Franz's flame and identifies it as a one-of-a-kind alchemical calibration wheel, explaining that she has only seen its kind in her teacher's office. [[ExplainExplainOhCrap She cuts herself off when she remembers that it is a "one-of-a-kind"...]]
1042-->'''Lumi:''' Ha! If she knew ''we'' had one-- [[LateToTheRealization Uh--]] I ''KNEW IT!'' YOU ''ARE'' A THIEF!\
1043'''Vipsania:''' ''I AM NOT!''
1044** The rest of the party looks at Vipsania with a mix of curiosity and disappointment. [[EvenTheDogIsAshamed Even her cat.]]
1045* Brother Marcus [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230315 describes the morality]] of creatures created by the Heterodynes in a very blunt way, and Franz one-ups the low morality.
1046-->'''Marcus:''' He's a wicked creature of the Heterodynes. As long as you're not blowing up the moon, '''''He'll''''' be fine with '''''any sort of knavery'''''
1047-->'''Franz:''' '''''Huh?''''' Why would I care about the '''''moon?'''''
1048* [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230324 Vipsania gives Franz some bismuth]] in order to alter the composition of his flame, while Lumi protests. However Franz's biology works, the bismuth gets him ''[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230327 drunk]]''. It even freaks out Humongulus!

1059'''Lumi:''' ''[dreamy]'' Oooh, ''I know.''\
1060'''Vipsania:''' Oh. Let me guess-- but ''you can change him?''\

1067** In particular, the moment where he has to get out of Paris quickly, and so goes to a [[FrenchCuisineIsHaughty fancy restaurant]], meticulously orders an exquisitely elaborate meal, and when it arrives asks for a bottle of ketchup. "We are tossed out the city gates less than 3 minutes later."

1080* This footnote near the start of ''Literature/AgathaHAndTheClockworkPrincess'':
1081-->See our previous textbook, which, due to unfortunate market forces is entitled ''Literature/AgathaHAndTheAirshipCity''. We had suggested ''The Life of Agatha Heterodyne; Part One - Leaving the University. An Examination of the Causes and Tribulations Leading to the Restoration of the House of Heterodyne, A Reexamination of the Storm King Mythos and Some Clues as to the Underlying Troubles Within the Political Structure of the Wulfenbach Empire.'' We will concede that this was a bit dry. However we ''were'' able to prevent it from being titled ''Agatha's Electrifying Orbs of Scientific Seduction!'' So we must take our victories where we can.
1082* ''Literature/AgathaHAndTheVoiceOfTheCastle'':
1083** This sentence in the first chapter: "Agatha figured that she was now the only person in Europa who found the Other not just mysterious and terrifying, but [[NotoriousParent horribly]] [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents embarrassing]]."
1084** When Doctor Sun said Klaus is a terrible patient, he wasn't kidding. A footnote in the third book expounds on how Klaus is so bad at recuperating his personal medic made it her default response to ''tranquilize'' him if he ever got so much as a paper-cut. After this happened one too many times, Klaus conceded she might've had a point, and drafted up some new protocols. And then went on to invent cutless paper while he was at it.
