Girl Genius

Considering New Orleans and Louisiana were originally colonized by the French, the resemblance may be intentional.

(Interesting historical fact: Napoleon decided to sell the Territory after his army got their collective butts kicked in Haiti. The whims and wanderings of war.)

Anybody else think that looks like Pinky in the street?

No, she's behind the scenes with Grandmother.

Pink dress, short blonde hair ... that would have been Pinkie, except that she's not wearing a pink dress any more, so probably not indeed.

I think the pink dress/outfit was part of her 'princessy' role at the time. Her normal fashion sense probably involves lots of pockets and ease of movement.

It looked to me that it was the hydrant shaped object behind him that was shreeing. If you look closely there are "action lines" emanating from it.

Wow. If the Master's body never moved.. Phil really needed to do a better job of establishing the position of objects in the scene.

Well it is all relative: when was the last time you lost something in your own workplace? Phil must have happened to do so or the walking Beausoleil was not included at the uploaded pages.

I'm pretty sure that Beausoleil's reaction indicated Voltaire's body had indeed moved. He seemed surprised when he turned to look at an empty street. I love this page, all the different levels of alarms are so funny! And Beausoliel's discomfort is wonderful to see. May all villains be served so.

I'm thinking the body moved, which is part of the reason B is spazzing.

Like I said . . .

The City of Paris, previously known as Simon Voltaire . . .

and now known as Collette Voltaire

You know, it was bad enough that Agatha had a version of a many times great grandparent looking over her shoulder. If Voltaire has become the city, how's poor Colette going to take her dad hanging around?

Going to make dating hella awkward, that's for sure

Seems people beat me to the awkward dating situation joke again... But we can recall what the Jagers said: when Gil and Agatha get to kissing and recall "mom" (lucrezia) is watching they will find a way to remove her within a week. Collete might do that as well.

Or at least manufacture dark zones she can canoodle in unobserved.

Dad might surreptitiously help out.

Because no parent actively wishes to know every last thing in 3D Surround Sound.

I -really- don't think the master survived this "as the city."

The master WAS the city. And it's pretty clear he's been trying to get a sparky child to pass it on to. If he could just upload himself that never would have been an issue.

I wouldn't be so sure. Some people want to keep going forever; others want to retire, grow a few vegetables, and do some fishing (especially if it's not off the company pier).

Voltaire may have seen uploading himself as the court of last resort -and top of his list of rather not do's. BUT, if he had everything ready to go Just In Case -well, things happen.

Whoa! Tarvek was the one under the jester mask!

He took the mask off in February (real-world time) and put it back on when Agatha showed up..

That yellow reminds me of Agatha's Dyne Water experience.

Well hopefully Colette won't burn her hair which is something I'm noting... and I guess a big part of what is going on is a bit of a "succession copy of all the know how" which is going to make Colette aware of a lot of stuff. Which is why Voltaire wanted a Sparky descendant to do so otherwise... the descendant couldn't have handled it.
