This page has always been one of my favorites, even though it is not part of the main story (and, in fact, is not really even part of a side story, but only part of the introduction to one, "Revenge of the Weasel Queen"). Nonetheless, it is a perfect showcase of the humor of Girl Genius, which has always been one of the aspects of this comic that most endears it to me.

Here we have a perfect synthesis of Phil and Kaja's writing, Phil's drawing, and Cheyenne's coloring producing a vignette that's delightful to look at, extremely funny, and an intensely satisfying skewering of a surprising number of clichés, both inside and outside of the "mad scientist" subgenre, as well a providing the entire premise of the comic in a nutshell.

I especially like the way this page highlights the expressiveness of Phil's art, not only in portraying actual facial expressions (especially maniacal ones), but body language as well. Ah, if only I could dance on the bones of my enemies with the grace and glee of that unnamed white-haired Spark in the final panel!

Today is a great day to be a Klaus enjoyer I can’t wait for him to actually meet Krosp (and also for him to find out that Krosp was living on his ship??) he’s going to cause so many more problems when he gets back to the rest of the crew and I for one can’t wait

I love Klaus… he’s going to start fights with everyone isn’t he
