#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/24 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Almost every culture has a year-end Festival of Lights analog. We participate in the one known as Christmas, and hope that whichever one you celebrate (if indeed you do) is happy & healthy and that next year is better.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/22 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Hey! It's the Day After Solstice! Huzzah! The days are only going to get longer! (We apologize to all our readers in the Southern Hemisphere who will now see the glorious light fade from their lives. Sorry/not sorry)

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/19 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Got a Covid booster this week (while it was still legal) and it knocked me on my ass for a day or so. Thank goodness for Ibuprofen. Feeling better now, and thank goodness, as the looming Holidays wait for no man.

#girlgenius Hey there, Girl Genius aficionados– Professoressa Kaja Foglio will be streaming tonight (12/17) on Twitch (6PM PST) where she will be playing a NEW game, answering questions, and talking about any number of things, and one of those things could be YOU (www.twitch.tv/professoress...)

*webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 12/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I expect we'll be getting a Xmas tree sometime today. I've been getting a fir tree for over 60 years. Today, I'm thinking I'll surprise the family with something different. I'm torn between a monkey-puzzle or a baobab.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 12/15 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whew! We are actually an entire week ahead! Unheard of! If curiosity consumes you like a burning flame– you can see the new– as yet unposted–pages on our Patreon (www.patreon.com/c/girlgenius) Just sayin'.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/12 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) In Seattle, around this time of year, we stroll about at night and case– ahem–look at the Xmas lights. This year, with all the rain, we've had to skip that, but people are getting downright festive with their sandbags.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 12/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?da...) Weird. Usually I sleep longer in the winter– but the last few days I'm clocking in at around 6 hours of sleep. Reverse hibernation, I guess.

#girlgenius #webcomics #magicthegathering Girl Genius for 12/8 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Getting our convention calendar set for 2026. The first show will be one for Magic the Gathering in Atalanta– January 9-11 (scgcon.starcitygames.com/event/scg-co...) It's free to attend, so come on by

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I am going to try to pull ahead on Girl Genius. This is very difficult (for me). But it will make the holidays less stressful, and our Patreons will like it, so there's no real down side. All we have to do is write it.

Hey there you gaslamp fabulists! Tonight ( 6 PM PST 12/3) Professoressa Foglio will again be streaming on Twitch (www.twitch.tv/professoress...), playing games, talking about cookies, and just generally being entertaining as The Darkness™ continues to close in. Drop by- say Hi!

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 12/3 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) We ate the last of the turkey last night, and thus, with this ritual completed, the Xmas season has officially begun. The next mystical portent will be if we get any snow this month. Myself, I doubt it–Seattle, you know

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 12/1 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Managed to get through the whole "black weekend" nonsense without buying anything. Not saying I'm getting friends & family nothing but homemade fudge, but there will be fudge. Nobody I know needs more "stuff".

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/28 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Thanksgiving was very nice. (Aside from a small incident when I was demonstrating how to use the electric knife sharpener to the experiments. On the other hand, they now REALLY GET how important "knife safety" is) Ow.

My Groove is actually harshed. My goddam Calendar (Not the good one from Google that I use everyday, but the annoying "pick me" bullshit wanna-be that's hard-baked onto my computer I cannot get rid of Calendar®) Helpfully let me know that tomorrow is BLACK FRIDAY! Now I'm not gonna buy Anything.

It's time for my annual reminder that turkey does NOT contain more #tryptophan than other meats, and the molecule is not the cause of your food coma! Nevertheless, I hope this #science pun is enough to drive you off your screens for some well-deserved relaxation. Happy Thanksgiving! 🧪 #SciComm

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/26 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Nothing like having the experiments you unleashed upon an unsuspecting world returning for the holidays to make a person realize just how much the place needs cleaning. Yikes! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/24 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Starting to see Christmas lights which (unlike premature trees) are particularly welcome even before Thanksgiving, as ours is a gloomy and dank landscape during the winter months…or maybe that's just OUR house.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/21 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I don't like it, but I know I'm getting old because I saw someone with a Christmas tree strapped onto the roof of their car and I caught myself thinking, "It's not even Thanksgiving! Have you no decency, sir?"

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/19 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Had a burst of creativity last night, and got the next month's worth of pages laid out! My plan is to actually pull ahead a bit– and maintain that lead. Hey– I can dream. In unrelated news, I took up chainsaw juggling!

I read this story and quite liked it, so here's a link: www.reddit.com/r/HorrorComi...

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Reading Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp. It's a non-fiction book about the history & future of societal collapse. Its unexpected premise is that such collapses are not always a bad thing, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/14 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) The Seattle rains, they are here. The garden is done, my shed is locked, and for the next few months, I'm not traveling. It is the season for getting art and writing done, cooking, & playing video games. Aaahh…

#girlgenius #webcomics Hey there you gaslamp guys & gals. Professoressa Foglio will be streaming tonight on Twitch (6 PM PST) to help fill the emptiness of The Void™. "It's better than wrangling a steam-hammer," say many heavy construction engineers. (www.twitch.tv/professoress...) Subscribe!

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/12 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Kaja is working hard on launching the Kickstarter for the next 2 books soon (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...) She's fretting that holiday spending will cut into orders. I'm worried about the economy. We shall see.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whipped up a batch of chili last night with hot peppers, tomatoes, & onions from the garden. Had to use store-bought pepperoni, as once again, the ones I planted failed to sprout. Mighty good with sweet cornbread.

#gardening Bah. It's time to pack the garden away for the season and I just had to rip out several rows of vines that were thick with green, underdeveloped tomatoes. Everything else came through like a champ, but the tomatoes just never turned red, dammit. The Italian in me is sad.🌱

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/7 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Got a ton of rain and our basement warehouse flooded. "Oh Prof. Foglio, why do you spend good money on rows of giant steel shelves that clutter up your basement?" We only need them every couple of years, but when we do…

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Yes, yes, the holidays are coming. Boo! Enjoy the lights, the music, the eggnog and don't sweat the rest. We're old enough that the greatest gift someone could give us would be stealing half the junk we've accumulated.

Hey, yeah, I know it's an "off year" (in every sense of the word), but get out there and vote.

#webcomics #girlgenius #godzilla Girl Genius for 11/3 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) According to various sources, today is Godzilla's Birthday! There you go– News You Can Use.

Hey there kids– Hope you remembered to drop your socks and re-set your clocks!

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/31 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Happy Halloween!

#girlgenius #webcomics #twitch Girl Genius for 10/29 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Just a heads up, webcomic aficionados, Professoressa Foglio will be streaming tonight (10/29) at 6PM PST (www.twitch.tv/professoress...)

#magicthegathering #webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/27 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Another Magic the Gathering show this weekend– This time it's in Tacoma "The City of Destiny" (since 1873, apparently) (www.laughingdragonevents.com/ldxp-tacoma2...) As always, it's free to get in!

#webcomics #girlgenius Here is the pencils for the cover to Volume # 23 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I am especially pleased with it because I managed to get the whole damn thing drawn in one day. Pay attention to the Kickstarter– (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...) and it can be yours!

#webcomics #girlgenius Just a heads up friends– There will not be a new Girl Genius page this Friday, as today, I'm working on the cover to "Escape From The Island of the Rat Queen" to get this next Kickstarter launched ASAP. We WILL put up the pencils for that. (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...)

#girlgenius Just a quick "heads-up"– Kaja threw her back out. How? It's a Mystery of Science. But as a result, she will NOT be streaming on Twitch tonight, but expects to be back to fighting fettle again next week.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/22 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Diamond Comics dying has caused us problems, and no mistake. I am currently trying to find a new way to get our books into libraries, bookstores and such, but everybody assumes I want to print books through them. Urgh!

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/20 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Ug. It really is time to get my garden ready for the winter. You can tell because the weather is increasingly cold and rainy…which means I don't want to be out there. But it'll just get worse the longer I procrastinate

#girlgenius #webcomics Over the years we have seen Jäger Jack-O-Lanterns before, but reader Crowden Satz has provided us with a particularly fine example based on General Dimo. Thanks, man!

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) The winter weather predictions are rolling in, and Seattle is supposed to be both colder and wetter than usual. In any other place, that would mean snow. Here, it means shaggier moss, festive mildew, and house spiders.

#girlgenius #webcomics Yahoo! We finally got the new book (An Entertainment in Londinium) listed for sale on the TopatoCo website! (topatoco.com/collections/...) Just in time for the holidays!

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/15 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Just a quick reminder– we are getting ready our latest Kickstarter! (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...) Sign up! Don't be one of those tiresome folks who 5 seconds after it close say, "Gosh, how did I miss this?"

I believe this is an important modeling for @thephilfoglio.bsky.social to see and possibly weigh in on 😄

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/13 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) We are back from Pittsburgh! A town with a fine tradition of helpful giant robots. This fellow here– BRIDGER–10 TONS, was built to help during rush hour, but Somebody mistook meters for millimeters and, well…

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Hey! The comic is finally up! 'Bout time, sez I.

These things happen…

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 10/8 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Man, we've been busy. I think it says something when I say that I'm longing for the peace & quiet of the upcoming holiday season.

#girlgenius #webcomics Hey there, friends! We are letting you know that we will soon be launching our next Girl Genius Kickstarter, which will be for BOTH "The Chronometric Lantern Expedition" AND "Escape From the Island of the Rat Queen"! Keep an eye here! (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...)
