Girl Genius

I’ve waxed elegant (and not so elegant) several times about Phil and Kaja Foglio’s superb use of secondary and tertiary characters in their gaslamp fantasy webcomic Girl Genius over the years, so I decided to cut short my inevitable discussion on the love triangle between Moloch von Zizner (who continues to struggle in a vain attempt to escape his destiny as Agatha Heterodyne’s minion) and his fellow female minions Sanaa (sister of Othar Tryggvassen: Gentleman Adventurer!) and Snaug (minion of Professor… just what is his name anyway? It’s getting confusing). What I do want to point out is the Professor’s comment, after von Zizner manages to charm Snaug off her feet, was twenty levels of awesome. Because yes, minion he may be… but von Zizner is a dangerous one… and has easily grown as much as Agatha.
