Compare and Contrast.

Nice bookending of scenes there. Especially when you compare Agatha's reaction when told "not to blow it" with Moloch's.

Nice role reversal. Agatha sure has come a long way, hasn't she? Once, a frightened, incompetent lab assistant unable of building a simple working construct. Now, a confident scientific genius facing down hardened criminals without blinking.

Hmm ... now that I think about it, there's a lot of fetish play in this comic. Not only do all the women have large breasts and are scantily-clad (even the freakin' Clanks have breasts, except when they're naked), but a large majority of them (most notably, Agatha) wear corsets and have strong, dominant personalities. Von Pinn is pretty well the personification of this trope.

The symmetry between this strip and that earlier one is marvelous

I REALLY look forward to the next strip; I wonder what Moloch will say, and whether he's been to the library yet? Also, how much (or how little) effort will Agatha need to expend to win Moloch to her side? (I would guess very little, considering the current strip's events!)

Because Agatha has a commanding voice, a curvacious figure, a dominant personality, and wears a balance of leather jumpsuits and semitransparent undergarments?

Well obviously. I'm just wondering why I'm talking about it to strangers on the interwebs.

We haven't had anyone in their underwear for almost a month, so this comic can't be fetish fuel.

Moloch appears to know that Agatha claims to be a Heterodyne. When he knew, well probably back on Castle Wulfenbach?

I wonder if we'll discover that the subsystems respect the Mongfish Voice, or that the Kitchen is just pulling a fakeout...

Also: got to love the egg-beater thrown into the Storm of Pointy Things

There is also the spoon.

I think that Agatha will do a good authoritive "STOP THAT NOW" and they'll all drop.

But yes, it does talk.

More likely the kitchen is doing a "scare the newbie" routine, and suddenly all the silverware will go dropping to the floor before striking Agatha. Remember what Wilhem said: "Nobody's ever been killed in there ... We think the place is alive, and just likes to mess with us." Plus Moloch doesn't seem scared, even though there's a few dozen sharp utensils aimed at him and Agatha.

On a related note, has anyone seen this strip before? I don't remember ever reading it before. I think it's a new strip that was added in to the archives.

Ah, but that is clearly a Hoffmannite Throwing Spoon - deadly at any speed.

The Foglios... they're Retconning in real time? Retconning... exposition?!

This is almost as wacky as Howard Taylor's original Time Traveling Story Idea!

Shoving things up on a THURSDAY!

I only recently went back over that story arch and it wasn't there then.

Cunning Foglios.... it's a plot to make me read the entire archive AGAIN to see if there are any other hidden strips.

Nothing between Gil's visit to the circus and Agatha's arrival in Mechanicsburg, I was browsing the archives after FoE mentioned how all the females tend to be heavy chested.

Well I've lost track of who everyone is... I read all of the archives a while ago, but since then I've read at least 7 more archives of comics...

Dominic Deegan, Sluggy Freelance, American Elf, Zebra Girl, Octopus Pie, Scary Go Round, DMOTR, Misfile, suicide for hire, Goats, Overcomensating, Gunnering court...

Yeah I need to refresh my memory a bit. Keeping up on the storyline is becoming difficult..
