Ooo, this looks like fun.
So is this "muse of vengeance" one of the original muses that accompanied the Storm King?

[cmdr_zoom]

Chekhov's Gynoid, for sure.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Lord High Conservator dead? Or was the six-eyed guy that succumbed to "a strong poison" someone else? I don't have the strip/link handy.)

I'm noting for future reference that "The heart of the Muse of Vengeance never died" scans to a certain Fred Small song.

So ... more than nine Muses then, eh?

[jbwoodford]

As of this morning, at least, this was the "Muse of Vengance."

My question is: vengeance against whom? The Heterodynes? The Sturmvorous clan? Beausoleil? (That one I would support.) The Other? (Let the Muse at it!) I have a feeling that, whoever is the target, this Muse is far less willing to listen to reason than any of the other nine.

Okay, we now have a "Muse of Time" and a "Muse of Vengeance" that weren't in the original nine-muse pantheon.

Does anyone have a copy of "The Works"? I'm wondering whether Hoffman and Larana were in the original plan for Girl Genius. I wouldn't be surprised if they, like Sleipnir O'Hara and Theo DuMedd, had been given larger roles than the Foglios originally had intended. It seems to me as though this "Muse of Vengeance" subplot might have been an embellishment that the Professors grafted onto the original plotline after the saga had started.
