The eighteenth day of Solstice
The Mechanicsburg Solstice Festival, that is!
(The first page of “A Mechanicsburg Solstice Story” was posted on Monday, November 30, 2020.)
This extremely festive and fun page was posted to the Girl Genius website as bonus art, on December 23, 2024. It is titled "Scenes of Mechanicsburg: The Monster Guild Carolers". It served as a substitute for a page of the comic, to give the Foglios time to relax a bit during last year's (real world) holiday season. This year, Phil has managed to build up a buffer of pages, so it isn't known whether or not there will be any break in the story before the end of 2025.
Obviously, I had forgotten the title of this page when I made my post for the ninth day of Solstice (Scenes of Mechanicsburg #1: Following the Snowplow Brothers), in which I said that I was unaware of any other scenes of Mechanicsburg drawn by Phil.
I hope that this page will be turned into a high-resolution wallpaper at some point in the future; it is a lovely and charming image and it would be great to be able to view it in more detail.
