    Who? The characters or the writers?

    I will say that the story has been moving along rather more quickly than the Mechanicsburg arc.

    If it was a bit more anime, there would be storm clouds of depression over their heads. I agree, it was pretty perfect.

    That last panel is so PRECIOUS!

    And Vi continues being the practical one.

    Maybe this is the werewolf Storm King. At least they won't have to worry about Sparkhounds while in the hanger...

    The date's wrong; the comic still updated on a monday. At least, it was monday by EST and CST time that is.

    Can't say I really understood why any of what Agatha said would stop the monster attacking, unless it really, really hates its own creator...

    I think its a play on that old "monster runs loose and turns against its creator" thing, like you see with many mad scientist stories. I guess Agatha just has a knack for when to say that sort of thing, and for telling what kind of murderous rage the created monster is in.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".

    It's learning from this experience.

    I have a vague feeling something similar happened later, but I can't remember when.

    Or maybe she just learned something from the encounter with her own dingbots.

    Yeah its a callback joke, I think it has even been mentioned at another time than that with the whole, "I am your creator, obey me" lines always backfiring.

    By golly, Agatha knows her tropes! And how to work them. She's just lucky the creature is apparently sentient...

    I wonder if they can make friends with it?

    But what does it eat and drink down there? It's a pretty massive beast, it must have a large food and water supply.

    And I don't see the weasel... Of course, it could be curled up in one of Violetta's pockets.

    It was pretty funny at the time, and that makes it easier to recall at a later time.

    I was going to say 'some of us don't get out much' then I realised that with the advent of the internet and home connections, that phrase doesn't mean what it used to.

    okay it's been a while since we had one of those in girl genius but that was a genuinly hilarious page. Love the expression on the monster face.
    Didn't expect it to actualy work, though.

    In fairness, that's a pretty memorable GG line (and also the classic my-creations-have-turned-against-me lines all rolled into one).

    I have to admit, this was funny.

    Yep. It really does never work. Even when it should.

    Clearly the solution is to pull a radagast style rabbit sled escape.
