Pants

the height of comedy!

Paris needs pants! -- Tarvek

Pants or trousers are a staple of comedy. There are baggy pants and clown pants, but the loss of said item of clothing is usually considered the pinnacle of pants humor. The Foglios are well aware of this and pants comedy plays a major role in the humor of Girl Genius which is a work in which humor plays a large part.
