Alright, I read the whole webcomic (I feel like I clicked a link to TV Tropes). Now tell me, Oh Veteran Reader, is there any new info on their hiatus or is the ETA still last March? Any hope for the continuation of Tuttle and Panka's adventure?

Another zany one (super heroes this time) is Grrl Power.

I've heard of Grrl Power, and I just have to say that I like that comic but it took 200 pages for anything to happen.

I'll put the others in my list of webcomics to try out when I've got time.

Which reminds me of too many 'Champions' games, if you're familiar with that RPG.

Long Archive, beautiful art from the artist that brought you Buck Godot, Zap Gun for Hire. They're also producing novels of GG for those who'd rather read it in book form.

Oh, he also drew Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures as a comic, and did most of the covers of the Myth books.

There's another, less SFW thing, but seeing as how I've not seen it, I cannot say anything about it, but I'm sure someone here can.

"...less SFW ..."

Rather like saying the ocean is less dry than Death Valley.

Absolutely hilarious at times.

And you're allowed to say "Phil Foglio" here. After all, he gave Wapsi Square a shout out on the walls of Mechanicsburg.

Annie and I have hurt ourselves laughing at GG- mostly because some of the experiment I do around here kinda border on that level of insanity...

As long as you don't start yelling "I'll SHOW THEM, SHOW THEM ALL!!!" With appropriate evil cackling.

The truth is I came to Foglio's work via XXXenophile, and only later found his safer-for-work stuff...

Surprised you didn't find him like the rest of us normal people... through Dungeon Magazine.

Hah! You callz dat 'normal,? Us NORMAL pipples met him ven he vass drawing custom name badges at cons for five bucks a pop!"

I first read his work in Dungeon magazine, 'What's New! with Phil and Dixie' was probably why I bought the magazine most issues...
I did get to sit opposite of him at a small convention in San Antonio. A friend of mine who ran a comic and game store from the old neighborhood came into town for the show and I helped him run his tables. Phil was at the table opposite of us and we had a large number of silly conversations that weekend...

Was that back before he met Kaja?

There was a woman with him throughout the show, but for the life of me I don't know if it was Kaja or not. He did continually refer to her as 'The Countess'. This was around 85 to 87...

If she looked a great lot like Agatha - it probably was her.

I think so, then...

Oddly enough, I think I found Girl Genius by way of either a banner ad on Something Positiveor a direct link in one of Randy Milholland's journal entry dealies.
I know the former is how I found Between Failures (another slice of life comic, just a bunch of mundanes, though). And the latter is how I found The Intrepid Girlbot.

Trying to remember how I came across Namesake.
