Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Of course that was thousands of years ago (the slow way). Albia has learned a LOT since then and she was not caught by surprise, while Lu clearly didn't have a plan for this encounter right now.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Clank-Lu has stolen tech as her zap stick seems based on Gil Lightning stick. Or at the very least its the same tech. Gil charging the atmosphere at Mechanicsburg Cyborg Lu attacking the Queens. The Professors went out of their way to have Albia mention it. Not sure how it will play out, but this looks like a big Chekhov's gun to me and the Professors LOVE that trope. Heck, they have built up a whole armory over the years.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Honestly, this more closely resembles Agatha's Major Micro Mountain Murderer. While an electrical device could explain why the Queens didn't recognize it and why Albia now knows how to block it, it also doesn't quite look like it is actually a thunderbolt.
EDIT: Closer examination suggests that the Cyborg Lu has a more of a wavy pulse (kind of like a weird pulse of lightning or plasma), while Clankcrezia seems to use a coherent focused beam (either hand-held or a newer model).
(Incidentally, we have affirmation by way of a semi-canonical comic (one of Cheyenne's Thorpe stories) that King Arthur exists...but Albia is evidently many times his age. I wonder how that worked?)Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-09-17 at 05:48 PM.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Obviously, somebody had to be Morgan le Fay. Or Guinevere. Or both at the same time (yay shapeshifters).
And nobody invented electricity. It's a natural force.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
A combat clank for sure. But the loss of a hand and the zap stick really cuts into it's offensive firepower. What's more, that body can feel pain. I wonder how Bohrlaikha would do against Lu?

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
I think Trelawney's torn purple pants is a bit of a homage to the Incredible Hulk.

Don't think so. Gil is the one that Hulk's out.

Trelawney also hulked out. Just not with the classic green skin.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
King Arthur's unrecorded last words were: "Darling, I just noticed you and Morgan le Fay and also Nimue all kind of look similar. Also, I don't think I've ever seen two of the three of you together at the same time...heh, what a weird coincidence!"
The grammar for the first panel is a bit hard for me to process for some reason. It seems to say
"Where did you go? You think we can hide from-"
...why would Lucrezia think that Albia's form shifting causes Lucrezia to hide? It seems like it would either be "You think you can hide" or "You think we would hide" depending on whether Lucrezia or Albia is supposed to be the one doing the hiding.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Albia has left. Trelawny is back to her old self. Look at her eyes.
