Line 4:
* 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
* 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.
