Dingbots on Mimmothback
Since the page posted above appeared on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, causing quite a bit of excitement, the dingbots mounted on mimmoths haven't reappeared in the story. However, while going through the front matter of all the Girl Genius graphic novels in the First Journey to confirm something for the wiki, I happened upon what might be considered a preview.
This is the spot illustration on the title page of volume 10, Agatha Heterodyne and the Guardian Muse. I'm sure I've looked at this image more than once, but I certainly didn't remember it. To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes (who surely would have been some kind of Spark in the Girl Genius Universe), "I saw, but I did not observe!"
This isn't a significant find, to be sure, but I still felt it was of enough interest to post here.
The Marquis

This character's silhouette is startling similar to the Dreen in Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio, at least at first glance. I'm not suggesting a connection, just pointing out a surprising resemblance.
Floppy Friday: Volume 4, Issue 14
Cover of issue fourteen of the Girl Genius comic book. Story by Phil & Kaja Foglio; Pencils by Phil Foglio; Feature Story Colored by Laurie E Smith; Lettering, Logos, Book Design & Cover Colors by Kaja Foglio. On this cover, the Girl Genius tagline is A Gaslamp Fantasy with Adventure, Romance & Mad Science.
This issue of the Girl Genius comic book was printed in February 2004 and includes pages 89 to 118 of volume 4 of the graphic novel series, completing the book. (In this issue of the comic book, the pages are numbered 85 to 114.)
I have to publish "Floppy Friday" early this week and jump to the end of the sequence because I am traveling so my schedule is disrupted and I don't have access to my usual computer with most of my files on it.
See the rest below the cut.
For April Fool's Day, I made the post I'm rebogging about the never-printed issue 14 of the Girl Genius comic book. I am doing this now to make the cover appear in the proper position in my Floppy Friday sequence.
More specifically, I'm reblogging @leletha-jann's reblog of my post, because Le'letha made an insightful and interesting comment in her tags, as she so often does, specifically: #genuinely do not think we've ever seen agatha in that outfit
I agree and found this puzzling. I reread the pages that would have made up issue 14 of the comic book (roughly the last quarter of volume 4, Agatha Heterodyne and the Circus of Dreams) to make sure it wasn't there. It isn't, but I think I have figured out why this illustration of Agatha wearing an outfit and wielding a device, both of which are never seen in the comic, was (or, rather, would have been) included on the cover of issue 14.
The key can be found on the page shown below, on which Agatha whispers, "Eek! But my costume!"
What follows is purely speculation on my part, but I find it compelling. The costume Agatha is referring to is the one shown on the unpublished cover. The device she holding in that cover illustration is the Telluricomni Visualization version of a crystal ball. The costume and device ended up on the "cutting room floor" for some reason, perhaps related to the decision to move the comic from print to web publication, but Phil and Kaja had already designed it and Phil had drawn it, so they decided to use it on the cover of the comic book before it was scrapped. Perhaps there was a plan for a scene including that costume and prop that was also scrapped. Am I right about this? The world may never know!
Floppy Friday, Volume 4, Issue 13
This is the final installment of Floppy Friday with a new comic book because issue 13 was the last part of the main Girl Genius story ever published that way. However, there probably will be one or two more installments of Floppy Friday with additional information about the history of the comic books.
Cover of issue thirteen of the Girl Genius comic book. Story by Phil & Kaja Foglio. Pencils by Phil Foglio. Feature Story Colored by Laurie E. Smith. Special Thanks To Payne Fifield, Gentleman, Scholar, Magician, and Marie Cooley, Corsetiere, Historian, Junior Astronaut. Lettering, Logos, Book Design & Cover Colors by Kaja Foglio.

Floppy Friday, Volume 4, Issue 12: Sample Pages
Page 56 of issue 12 of the Girl Genius comic book presents three of the Jägershots strips out of a set of ten that were originally posted online and are included (in color) at the end of volume 9 of the graphic novel series. According to a note included with the printed version of the strips, this was before Girl Genius had become a webcomic, so there were no actual pages from the the main story on the website at this time.
See the alt text for a transcription of the text in the comic strips.
Visit our Web site to keep up with our doings, read free comics, download desktops, printable bookplates and other free stuff… or even order back-issues! The Jägershots strips aren't in any way a regular feature, but they're in there and we thought those of you who've never checked our Web site should know what you're missing.
And there is a nice sketch of a dingbot at the top of page page 56, which also contains the Girl Genius Secret Cypher Society entry for this issue.

Agatha through other eyes: Batton Lash
The previous two entries in this series were actual Girl Genius comics. This one is an image Kaja shared on the comic website with the following note (see the image as posted by visiting the link above):
Back when I was in the hospital, Batton Lash & the Wolff & Byrd crew sent me this wonderful card:
Today, on the occasion of their new KickStarter campaign, I feel the need to share it with all our readers. Please go support the new book: Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre THE WEREWOLF OF NEW YORK!
This was thirteen years ago. Not only is the Kickstarter long over, but, unfortunately, Batton Lash has passed away.
Agatha through other eyes: Christopher Baldwin
Next up is Christopher Baldwin's interpretation of Agatha in "Small Problems".
Agatha through other eyes: Cheyenne Wright
I have always been fascinated by characters from illustrated works I am very familiar with being being rendered by someone other than the original artist, especially if both artists have distinctive styles. While there is great deal of wonderful Girl Genius fan art on tumblr, in this series I am going to be focusing on work by professional artists.
First up, Cheyenne Wright's version of Agatha from "The Mechanicsburg Guild of Monsters".
Happiest of birthdays to @professorfoglio!🎉🥳
