Connections To Other Works

  • Agatha is visible throughout the GURPS Illuminati University sourcebook, which was illustrated by the Foglios, and she is even identified by name on page 11. A GURPS Girl Genius Sourcebook is also in development.
  • The comic has made references to other webcomics, such as Girls with Slingshots, Wapsi Square, Gunnerkrigg Court, Arcane Times, Something Positive, Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire,Basic Instructions, Home on the Strange, The Devil's Panties, Schlock Mercenary and Studio Foglio's own Buck Godot; and What's New as well as The Order of the Stick, Terry Pratchett's Luggage, Namir Deiter, Digger, Freefall, Questionable Content, Lackadaisy and Bob the Angry Flower.
  • Girl Genius has also referenced more classical comics. At one point a prisoner in a dungeon recognizes some Jagermonsters who have broken in and says "Nov Shmoz Ka Pop?" This is the nonsense catchphrase from Gene Ahern's classic surrealist newspaper strip The Squirrel Cage, which ran from 1936 to 1953.
  • Othar's Twitter is ostensibly a blog by Othar Tryggvassen.

Famous quotes containing the words connections and/or works:

    The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    ...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?
    Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
