Forum:Just got the volumes! New thoughts on site style...

I just received my copies of all six gorgeously full-color volumes of Girl Genius. They are so worth it. I had a little trouble getting myself to stop grinning and making squeeeee! noises and actually read some of the extra stuff in them, but I did it. It's so much nicer to read the comic on paper. One of the best parts was getting to read the "about the author/artist" paras. For those of you who don't have them, here's an example from Vol 2:

"'Professor [Kaja] Foglio's ongoing research and publication of the life of Agatha Heterodyne continues unabated, despite the wishes of the Houses Heterodyne, Wulfenbach, Mongfish, Beetle, Trygvassen, Voltaire, and the officially registered 'Extreme Displeasure' of the governments of Britain, Skifander, the European Coalition, and the Iron Caliphate. She applauds their obvious modesty but vows to soldier on. ... Lately she has found a great deal of her time taken up with dodging assassins, torch-wielding mobs, enraged relatives, and subpoenas, which allows her to indulge in two of her greatest loves, travel and survival.'"

I can't resist the idea of TPU students from the Department of Almost Certainly True History compiling all of the highly accurate and non-biased information, so kindly provided by the Professors (for very low fees), into this exhaustive electro-numeral archival engine as a thesis project. (Personally, I don't believe those rumors that the Professors themselves were supposed to do all this.)

The best part about this is that if there are any errors or discrepancies, people won't blame us. I just hope we get good marks.
