Girl Genius Comic for Monday, August 28, 2023
Added 2023-08-27 21:03:48 +0000 UTCI have to keep moving forward, and drag myself through the end of PAX. I need to do a little writing job for the game, and I still need to finish that painting for charity which I need to have done by the end of the month, which is bearing down on me like nobody's business.
The writing would be done by now, but this sequence in the comic is taking a lot to get right. So instead of the game thing, I've been wrangling this. Ah well, it's the job.
It's not like I get to rest after PAX, mind you, it's just that I can get back to the other emergencies I'm supposed to be handling. I don't know how people who make movies and that sort of thing do it, I can't even get a comic done without wanting to fall over.
Good thing I don't make movies, eh?
Today Phil's doing an illustration for a friend of ours who has a game coming out. I don't even know if it's a computer thing or a physical thing, but the art's looking funny and I'll talk about it more when I know more and am allowed to share the info!
Ok, I'm off to get more work done, I'll be back when there are colors! Thanks, all!

So you're saying the character *isn't* named after Nicholas van Rijn, from Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League future history?

2023-08-29 23:32:30 +0000 UTCYou're being sarcastic, of course, but what you say is technically true; at any given moment, most people don't know any given fact. But people do nevertheless say "everybody knows x" all the time, and there is something true that they mean by it. I'm afraid it's something less exciting, like maybe "everybody within the reach of American TV knows x," where "within the reach" is a bunch of factors, including being rich enough to have a TV, being old enough to watch TV and understand the language in it, and so on. It's in that sense that I think everyone should know who Rembrandt is, really not just because of GG.

2023-08-29 21:41:01 +0000 UTCThere are in fact people who don't know that, and there will continue to be people who don't know it. In fact, the rate of new people being born probably exceeds the rate at which people learn this marvelous information contained on the wiki page you've linked, and virtually none of those new people are born with that knowledge.

2023-08-28 03:00:05 +0000 UTC... because it means they don't know about the Wiki! https://girlgenius.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Rijn

2023-08-28 02:41:33 +0000 UTCReally? There are people who don't know that? Sad.

2023-08-28 02:38:56 +0000 UTCI wonder how many people younger than Phil know who the original van Rign was.
