Girl Genius Comic for Friday, March 23, 2022
Added 2022-03-24 01:03:06 +0000 UTCThings to know before the colors come in: her eyes are glowing in panel 4.
I have got SO MUCH done today, and yet, it doesn't seem like a lot compared to the stuff I need to do. But I have got Friday's page lettered, and that's a huge victory!
I've also started reformatting Volume 1 while I drink my morning coffee, instead of playing World of Warcraft which is a lot less real-world rewarding. It's slow going, because I had to completely retool my workflow for the vertical webtoon format, but I got a little bit posted today and I'm happy about that. You can check it out here on Webtoons.com if you want to. There isn't much there yet, but it was fun to play with. I don't yet know what my schedule will be, but I'll try to pick something and stick to it.
I've also started posting from the start on our old DeviantArt account, so that's another place you can read along if you like.
See you all soon with colors!

Okay it took three pages...due to exposition...

2022-04-02 03:01:59 +0000 UTCI was wondering the same thing, but since her eyes seem to be glowing I doubt it's natural.

2022-03-25 03:50:10 +0000 UTCOoh! Colors! My usual comment on the blues in this environment, and look at those eyes! I wonder if she was always heterochromatic or if that's a consequence of the self-experimentation she's been doing. Certainly explains the mask, if it's new and she needed to hide it. Absolutely can't wait for Monday's page!

2022-03-25 03:36:40 +0000 UTCFor those of us who've had pet rats, that actually sounds pretty cute https://www.thesprucepets.com/thmb/Dwb8D1IGzQpPqCguhzUi3vUV8tM=/3556x2667/smart/filters:no_upscale()/sleeping-rats-120694080-57ffdee53df78cbc2894461a.jpg That said, based on Albia's casual shapeshifting, I'd guess that a Queen can change her appearance to whatever she likes at any time.

2022-03-25 02:32:46 +0000 UTCWeird news: she might turn herself into a rat in the process, on purpose.
Michael Bacon
2022-03-25 02:10:37 +0000 UTCShe strikes me as the sort to pose as a willing and fascinated lab assistant rather than a collaborator so she wouldn't have to share her notes with Snackleford. But I'm sure she saw his.

2022-03-25 01:52:23 +0000 UTCShe's not left the flaws in her plan that Lu did, so of course she has the right. . . .

2022-03-25 00:01:35 +0000 UTCWorld of Warcraft? Old school addiction. For goodness sakes, don't get an Oculus Quest 2 and play the MMORPG "Zenith". Gliding in VR is the new gamer meth.
Town Crier
2022-03-24 11:20:35 +0000 UTCSo she was already working on how to queen up? And she knows how to build a summoning engine..so she probably provided snackleford with his right? They probably shared some notes or ideas since they were both trying different methods of queening up

2022-03-24 05:49:07 +0000 UTCAssuming the rats were not just an affectation to make her appear less of a threat, she is going to remember Ariadne's demand to exterminate her lil darlings. Probably even a worse offense than siding with Luci.

2022-03-24 05:39:28 +0000 UTCI really agree that it seems unlikely LuClank will be simply dissolved by the effluvia. Obviously when it's not balanced it can have...corrosive...effects but she's still a clank. I fully expect her to pop out of the liquid within the next two pages....or else about 20 pages later when the scene shifts...
Rip Loomis
2022-03-24 03:40:22 +0000 UTCAnd you were so charming while defeating Lu.
Mary Catelli
2022-03-24 02:11:46 +0000 UTC...uh oh. No further comment, that seems to cover it.
Le'letha
2022-03-24 01:40:21 +0000 UTCYeah, this should finally end the recurrent speculation that she's a rat under that mask. (I suppose it's still possible that she has a human head over a rat body, but unlikely.) Actually in this uncolored version she looks an awful lot like Agatha! At first I though she had just disguised herself as Monahan to spy on Team Lu. Is robot Lu really defeated so easily? P.S. Why are these pages on a blue background?
Brian Harvey
2022-03-24 01:30:44 +0000 UTCA day early! Whee! I'm a little disappointed that Monahan doesn't have a rat face under the mask. Can't tell whether those are freckles, or acne, or something else. Ironic that she's gloating after criticizing Lucrezia for doing so. Wonder whether she'll be able to withstand the transformation. Looks like we're about to find out...

2022-03-24 01:22:47 +0000 UTC...or she's about to explode
2022-03-24 01:17:59 +0000 UTCOooo freckles!

2022-03-24 01:10:01 +0000 UTCLooks like we're getting a new Queen. Good news: I think she's less evil than Lucrezia. Bad news: that's not saying much.

2022-03-24 01:09:38 +0000 UTCOh, rats.
