I think Agatha will need to have a little talk with a certain hat shop.

This is one side of fame that I hadn't considered Agatha having to contend with.

OO Oooohhh! Somebody's gonna be it trouble!evil grin How long will it take her to see that poster (or similar)? How will she react and will she err on the side of deathrays, diplomacy, or a combo?

This is going to be fun! I didn't think she'd have to deal with this sort of thing for QUITE a while yet! Woo-Hoo! [lol]

First reaction: Laughing my tail off.

Second reaction: They'd better give her a cut of the profits for using her image.

Third reaction: Where the heck did they get that particular pic? It looks like her getup on the train!

Dimo being suave. evil grin

That poster in the second panel, Artifacts of the Medicis, could it be a hint? Or just local color?

I'm quite sure Agatha is clever enough to deal with a hat shop without violence. I do wonder though, if she will get a magnificent hat; and hope it will not be a match to Gil's, but something more flattering.

Agatha wants to meet the Master of Paris. Vi will go with her.

A new outfit or dress is required.

Of course, we have to wait the whole weekend to see if they notice the giant freaking poster.

It'd be hilarious if Chewie-chibi saw it first...

[up]Prediction: those posters are going to be plastered up everywhere. Might even be bait or trap to lure her to the shop in question.

EDIT: Maybe even by the Master himself, so they can talk privately without Agatha being seen going into the Tower.

Oh, I'm sure that on Monday Agatha will see the poster and be: 1) embarrassed 2) furious 3) insistent on going to the shop to complain. Bait? Oh, heck yeah!

Somehow I'm finding myself anticipating a Mass Effect 2 shout-out. The store owner is so amazed at Agatha walking into his shop he offers her anything at all in exchange for a mere kind word and somebody points out that this could be helpful.

Rinse and repeat.

Lightningnettle — I was reading the poster as Artifacts of the Americas.

I was thinking The Blonde Swan might be an important next step in the story — put me in mind of Zola — but Google tells me it's an actual hat maker, so maybe just a shoutout and throw away gag, after all.

[up] Shout-out, yes. Throwaway gag? I seriously doubt it. You don't put up a poster like that if it's not going to be some kind of plot point.

Someone asked where they got that image: wild mass guess They figured out what she looked like based on Gil's giant statues of her. They learned her coloring from the semi-hallucinations of the witnesses of the Sturmhalten Incident. The rest can be attributed to the City of Artists! They obviously had no trouble figuring out how to combine the details. evil grin wild mass guess

Somehow I'm more inclined to think that it's a shout-out. The Blonde Swan makes hats that are popular among the Steam Punk crowd and while I haven't been to any such events, the Foglios probably hit most of them and have developed a friendship with the proprietors. They like putting their friends in their comic just as other artists like putting them (and their Experiments in theirs, i.e. PS 238) in theirs. So I doubt that this poster will end up being a major element. It will, however, give Agatha an excuse to blow up with vast comic effects all around. I'm looking forward to Monday.
