Such a gamer at heart...I wonder if the Foglios play 40k? I haven't played in a while (gaming group situation at the local comic shop has been problematic with finding time/space/people) but my army was an army of Jager-y Space Marines. ^_^
So why are people listening to Tarvek? I half expected him to be hanging in a dungeon loudly berating Othar.

Hy gues ve haz to vait a vhile yet to find out vhy Boris iz trustink Tarvek. Hy tink dot since Boris dun't like runnik tings, he iz using Tarvek as advisor, of sorts.
Der head ov Lord Selnikov may hav told Klaus or his staff dot de Knights ov Jove was (as Tarvek regularly pointed out himselv) NOT Tarvek's plan. Meybe dot Tarvek didn't hav any real say in der plannink against de Empire. Since Tarvek vas a prisoner und den inside Der Kestle, he haz nottink to do vit the attacking Sturmhalten forces. He may hav told Boris what doze forces might consist ov.
It is clear dot Tarvek haz not said anytink about de Agatha/Lucrezia situation 'caz Boris dinnit know 'bout multiple Lucrezias, much less de fact dot Tarvek claim he can get Lucrezia out ov Agatha und prove it.

I knew that...I was acknowledging it. We also have some of the work he did for Cheapass Games. *grins* I was just thinking of a GG-themed 40k battle. Spirit of the Century is also fairly good for adapting to GG-verse, though I haven't been able to find a group to run a campaign for it quite yet (even though I have some cool plotlines figured out).

Yeah. Dis doesn't make a lot of sense, even if Boris vas totally desperate. Vun does not give up command to somevun who vas kicked out of hyu kestle for spyink. Somevun whose town iz known to be controlled by de other. Somevun whose empire haz been plottink a takeover. Somevun who iz... Tarvek.

Yeah, I was a bit confused reading this as well as to why Boris would let Tarvek tell them what they should be doing. I'm hoping that gets covered more clearly this week.
I know that Tarvek does know some important things that aren't commonly known such as the fact that the clank that is claiming to be his sister is actually completely the Other. He should also be aware that Zola also has some of the Other inside her head too. The question is whether or not he felt this information was important enough to make sure Boris was informed about it.
What I don't remember is if Tarvek knows that the Baron was infected with the special slaver though I would hope that he would think to tell someone that the spark slaver did exist.
I loved the little 'extra' and would love to see a page done with the 'alternate' dialogue. LoL

On a complete side note, in Phil's little note about de band's album he vants to buy: Hy am no expert at handwritink analysis, but Hy do know dat hiz letter g has vhat iz called a felon's hook. About 80 percent uv convicted felons have dat distinctive hook in deir handwritink. Not sayink Phil iz bad person! Just find it interestink.

Legend has it that Phil openly wears a lapel pin which proclaims him to be Phil Foglio, Gentleman Pornographer. Felonious handwriting comes with the territory.
I, too, recommend anybody who hasn't to go check out the pencil proof that Kaja shared with us (thanks Kaja!) Great dialogue, but it really would've broken the flow of the story.
(I do hope Tarvek 'bestriding Rome like a colossus' isn't an omen...)
