I don't have much to say today, so here's another one of Phil's steampunk dragons. The weather is getting nicer and the garden is needing attention. I hope it's a great weekend for us all!
Thank you!

She skipped Krosp. I guess he gets to hang around if he wants to.

So, most people, if they know Phil and me at all, know us as the people who make Girl Genius. Some remember us as the people who painted those weird Magic the Gathering cards, and some know us as "those weirdos who come in and buy groceries every week or so."
In addition to all that, ...

The Buck Godot Gallimaufry PDF is finally done and posted!
Links for the PDF downloads of the Girl Genius bundle and the Buck Godot bundle have now gone out from DriveThruComics. Everyone who backed Rain Games' Kickstarter for Adventures in Castle Heterodyne should now have a...

Here's tonight's page, accompanied by a drawing of eminent painter Sir Edward Burn-Jones working in his studio.
I've got the Buck Godot Gallimaufry PDF put together and uploaded to DriveThruComics! It isn't live yet, because I'm in the middle of building the bundle for the Rain Games Kickst...

Hello everyone!
I'm slugging around with a head full of wool for no reason I can fathom, but here's tonight's page with a dragon chaser.
I love the Dragon Gang here. They look like they're VERY serious about their tea or something.
I'm very excited because, after a lot of ...

Well, it was a productive weekend! Thanks for your patience, everyone. I notice that I got Orotine's word balloons wrong in the previous page, I'll fix them when I can.
I'd write more, but I have to go help feed the snake. See you soon!

Soooo...remember how I said I had to do a lot of quick re-writing on the last page? Well, it turns out that we really need to spend some quality time with our crazy conspiracy board before we step any farther into the next scene. So that's what we'll be doing this weekend. Avoiding potential plot...

Aaaah! This page had to be completely re-written for reasons. I think it turned out ok, though. I do so hate it when that happens, we have something we think works, and at the last minute we realize "wait! this makes no sense!"
So, I'm sorry this is late, I was busy trying to write somethin...

Hello, everyone, and welcome to March 2021!
Today I've included another of Phil's dragon sketches. I hope you like it.
I continue to work at bringing our Sparks and Monsters BackerKit to life. Ugh.
The Buck Gallimaufry PDF project was stalled for a bit. Somehow, my files, ...

I'm so sorry this is later than usual! I had a filthy migraine and this page turned out to be a lot harder to script than we expected, so it took a while.
At any rate, here it is, have a great weekend!

Hello everyone!
We are very fortunate to once again have a working furnace. We've taken the blankets off the doors. The snow is all gone, too, which means that yesterday I got to go outside and use the pressure washer on the driveway to the North of the house. This being Seattle, it gets kn...

I am so sorry to do this right when we've finally returned to the main story, but Phil had a bad time this week and wasn't able to get the page done. I was afraid he was having an actual heart attack, but it turned out to be just an excruciating charley horse that left him nauseated and with a ba...

Our furnace is still dead, and it's still cold, but it really isn't that bad. I hope all of you out in Texas are staying safe while you wait for your power to come back on. Good luck, everybody!

Well, that took a while, didn't it? I've tried to make a nice catch-up piece to go with it, just to get everyone back into the story. I am glad to have that Solstice story done, but I'm also glad to finally see Kjarl Thotep here in the flesh.
Also, Phil changed the spelling of his nam...

And that's the end! Time to get that "story so far" sorted out before Monday.
I've included a sketch Phil did yesterday. It's especially appropriate because we're FINALLY getting some snow here in Seattle.
Have a great weekend!

I'm going to need to do a "story so far" for Monday, so people can easily catch back up with the main story. This one went a bit longer than we expected! It's good to have it out of our system, after all these years of talking about it. I'm so glad we finally got it out! Thanks for your indulgenc...

Poor Professoressa, she isn't a local, so the Doom Bell is guaranteed to come as a bit of a shock.
This morning was all shiny and bright, so I was all set to repot some of our houseplants, when suddenly there was sleet. I suppose the plants can wait.
I'm really early today, which is n...

I've set BackerKit aside for a couple of days, in order to work a bit on Phil's old SF adventure, Buck Godot, Gallimaufry. Not getting it all set for print just yet, because that would take a LOT longer, but I'm getting it sorted out to put up on DriveThruComics as a PDF. I need to fulfill that p...

Well, we're closing in on the finale now. It's all about the souvenirs! I like to think of Mechanicsburg as a bit like Mordor once Sauron is gone. There you are with a whole country and nothing much to export except evil, which of course nobody wants. What will save you? Tourism! Come on in, the ...

My one regret with this story is that I simply can't get Phil to make the Professoressa horrible enough. Which is really nice of him, actually, but I want her to DESERVE this.
Welcome to February, by the way!

She IS getting into the traditional Mechanicsburg holiday spirit, though.
Now I'm wondering about traditions at TPU. They probably have some good stuff over there as well.
