Rule N°1 of being part of a conspiracy: Do not announce your resignation. Just leave. Steal a vehicule if you have to, but do not let your formers co-conspirators you are bailing on them. This is just asking for a knife to the throat.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
This being Girl Genius, it's asking for a Slaver Wasp to the throat, or a death ray to the face, or ... well, review the many deaths of Professor Beausoliel.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
My theory: Violetta lost this one, but isn't quite dead. When Gil decides to go after Tarvek and Agatha, he will find her struggling to survive with only self-applied first aid. Being the better medic of the trio, he'll be able to patch her up. This will delay his heroic arrival when the fan gets smelly, but also double it. She will then take her rematch with Miss Handsy quite seriously indeed.
Spoiler: My inventory:
1 Sentient Sword
1 Jammy Dodger (I was promised tea)
1 Godwin Point.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
OK, I need art critics. Is it possible that the highly suspicious looking waiter from June 11th is Mr. Eyeball from this strip? He's got facial scarring ....

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
Possible? Sure, and it would make some sense from a conservation of detail perspective - Steelgarter is talking to Zeetha about Skifander, said waiter appears to be paying an unusual amount of attention to that conversation, Steelgarter is going to talk to somebody else about her attempts to loot something relevant from Zeetha. Can it be confirmed? Not from what's shown so far, I think - the scarring that is visible through the peephole doesn't match what's visible on that waiter in that page, as best as I can tell. The horizontal slashes we can see in the latest page don't look like they're in the same spot as the waiter's scar, and there's no vertical line joining them.
.. what's currently visible of the eyeball person looks more like it might a mask or mouth-covering structure to me.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
I don't know if he's also Mr. Eyeball, but I stand by my theory that the waiter is the member of Bang's pirate gang who can be seen examining Zeetha's hair in the flashback on the previous page

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
I suspect she has 1 pair of mammary glands and 4 pectorals.
Edit: Looking more closely at the eye, I think I see an eyebrow above it in the last panel. What if we aren't looking at a face covered by a metal mask, but at an almost purple skin color? The rest of the face shape has me thinking gorilla, but that is probably crazy talk.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
New comic already?
SpoilerI think I need to change my guess for our mystery eyeball. That skin still looks greyish-purple, but I think it is shaped for a fish or cetacean, not a great ape. Didn't Albia say something about cetacean citizens?

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
"The Great Work". These people have a cause - probably reestablishing the mirror network of the Queens or something similar. We know from Violetta's deduction that what Steelgarter is up to is not good for Skifander, though.
If any of the pirates escaped Zeetha's rampage, they would have some sort of clue where Skifander lies.
I am definitely coming around to the "Mr. Eyeball is Tobber Homlomium" theory. Mask looks like it covers the nose area.
Also, Steelgarter works at the museum - which ties her in with Gil and Trelawny.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
Eyeball is just letting Steelgarter walk off? Conspirators aren't what they used to be. Although this shows Eyeball isn't Madwa, or Steelgarter wouldn't be worried about healing, being too busy decomposing.
And my speculation that Eyeball had a way out proves to be wrong; which raises the question, why did Steelgarter stop to talk to him/her instead of just getting out? Strange relationships, here.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
Wild shot in the dark now: The equations ol' Tobber has been working on will reveal the Mirror's mechanism, and Agatha and co. is going to escape their gilded cage into the museum via exit stage mirror.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
We're getting good looks at two different eyes in the two pictures. The full-length scar is on his right, the under-eye scar is on his left. If you look carefully at the flashback, it appears you can just see the smaller scar around on the side of his head. Plus, the Foglios do sometimes tend to be a bit sloppy with these artistic details. I still say it's the same guy.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
I'm curious as to how Lady Steelgarter thinks this is going to play out. Even if she's hid or destroyed Violetta's body - or thinks she has - one of Lady Heterodyne's retainers is gone, with evidence of a massive fight. That's not going to be casually dismissed, by either Agatha OR Albia. Lady S. may not realize just how many resources Agatha can bring to bear on finding out what happened - Jagers, Zeetha, detection, Mad Science! - but she should know what her Queen can do. And might, to placate a visiting head of state. Maybe Steelgarter IS stupid. Or too badly hurt to care about consequences right now. Which would mean, she is very short-sighted, indeed...

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
Seems strange that they'd forget about the massive scar that dominated his face (which is clearly not present on the forehead of waiter-pirate) when he'd last been seen in only the previous page, but I suppose it's possible. What's less possible is that this guy (who must have been on the same ship as Zeetha) somehow managed to survive her rampage.

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
Apropos of nothing, it is worth noting that the only Skifander artifact of Zeetha's in England is her head charm, which in the hands of some low ranked servant at the moment. That's gotta be a lucky break for Steelgarder, don't you think? Just the kind of artifact she's looking for, without having to fight a warrior princess, apocalypse level Spark, or surprisingly competent smoke knight.
I think she'll have her prize and be out in short order.Spoiler: My inventory:

Re: Girl Genius XXIV: Ask Vit a Bit More Terror
The clothes wore out long ago. Or got destroyed, which is the more likely option given the setting (even before you get to Gil and his clothing disintegrator).
