* When I started reading ''[[Girl Genius]]'', i wondered what a "clank" was exactly: the name seemed to be applied to all kind of intelligent (or semi-intelligent) machines. Why not just call them robots? It took me a while to realize: Girl Genius is set ''before'' Karel Čapek introduced the term "robot" in 1921. -- Lapuspuer
* Klaus' story about [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110506 The Witch and The Wolf King] seemed like a strange diversion from the plot, but it's actually incredibly important. The characters in the story are fictional counterparts to real people; Lucrezia is the witch, Klaus is the king who was turned into her obedient wolf, and Gil is the king's son who outsmarted the witch. This on it's own is [[Fridge Brilliance]] - However! It gets better! After the story's done, Klaus tells the storyteller that not only is this story from a storybook thought [[Lost Forever]], but that Gil might still have it! So now the storyteller has a motive to find Gil, and relay the story he just heard in order to find this book. Except when Gil hears the story, he'll realize it's actually a message from his father. Given the story's ending, that message is probably "Kill Me".
** Even better, he's telling it as the [[Origin Story]] of the Storm King - and though the jury's still out as to whether or not [http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/The_Storm_King_%28title%29 that title] is inherited or awarded, this is ''Klaus Wulfenbach'' we're talking about. He ''knows'' Gil can spin his lightning stunt into the title. And there is one character in the story who is ''not'' played by a major character: The "giantess nurse" who would not let the "king's son" leave the mountain until he proved his intelligence by pulling out the ''copper pin'' in her hair. The story's message is not "Kill Me", it's "Go get Von ''Pinn'', present her to this bitch, let her kill ''both of us'', then use that stupid myth that's causing all this trouble to get the nobles to shut up and accept you." Possibly the ''last'' communication he will ever have with his son, and [[Iron Man (
* First time around this [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060215 scene] just seems that Gil started to get Angry just because Wooster is just a servant before he calms himself, then we get to this [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060303 strip].
* "Grease trap duty until further notice" isn't a punishment for trying to sneak into the Baron's lab; it's a punishment for getting caught.
