* [[Bleached Underpants]]: A variant, in that prior to ''Girl Genius'', Phil Foglio was the author and artist of the ''[[XXXenophile]]'' series of pornographic comics, and unlike many artists with a similar background makes no attempt to hide it. However, before ''[[XXXenophile]]'', he was already well known for ''[[What's New with Phil and Dixie]]'' for ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' magazine, and ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire]]'', and did book covers and illustrations (most memorably, for Robert Asprin's ''[[Myth Adventures]]'' series), as well as the classic ''Con Reports'' and a trio of excellent, funny updates of old '60s humor comics for [[The DCU|DC Comics]] at about the same time as ''[[XXXenophile]]''.<br />A lot of ''Girl Genius'' is made up of brilliant little ideas that Foglio didn't use in his pornographic work. The Jägers' speech pattern and dental work? From ''[[XXXenophile]]'': "A Beautiful Tail" and "My Favorite Oitling". Zeetha's jewelry, with the little faces that mimic whatever her current facial expression is? From ''[[XXXenophile]]'': "Blue Opal".

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "The Sneaky Gate," loading a comic page by its date-determined URL, often several updates before its official release.
