Adventure. Romance. Mad science!
GAAAHHHH!!!… I’ve spent the last week completely addicted to the Girl Genius comics, reading the entire backlog from 2001, and now… now I’m UP TO DATE! Which means there is no more for me to read! And the story is ongoing! Now I’ll have to content myself to 3 pages per week, as they come out.
12 x boohoo!!
I just might get me a heart-shaped gear insignia to console myself. (They are so cute!)
Seriously, though, I recommend the comic. Its tagline says “Adventure. Romance. Mad Science!” and it’s the best description I could give, with “really funny!” implied in there.
PS. And Paula, I found out that comic is STEAMPUNK genre, so now I know what that is!

Orléane is now... 
Xavier is now...
Aside from the wonderful artwork and delightful heaving bosoms in that comic, I have to try to resist doing the same thing you did. I have already suffered through entire backlogs of webcomics with both Order of the Stick AND Irregular Webcomic.
It’s not that I don’t WANT to read another comic, I just don’t have the TIME! Seriously, with Basic Instructions, Order of the Stick, Dilbert (my one commercial allowance), Erfworld, Irregular Webcomic, Commissioned Comic, Indexed, Sheldon, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, and of course XKCD… there just isn’t any more room in my Google Reader!!
GEEZ!
Well, there you go! I’d have to say gloves and goggles are de rigeur for Steampunk, and this girl has it all. Not so much to my taste, but I’m thinking my daughter might enjoy the series, so I’ll pass on the link. Great seeing you in Montreal, Emilie!
