That was actually a commission for Cheyenne and Eli on the birth of their daughter. It is based on a photo of a cosplaying couple with their young daughter at a convention which was taken by Cheyenne.
I was thinking of the one titled, "TheEnd!" Although when I went back to look at it, the figure I thought was the kid was more likely to be Gil in a state of dumbfounded ecstasy.
(It also features a reference to Bang and Othar getting married, so take it with a metric ton of salt.)
It's one of many in a bunch of sketches by Phil, many of which were pre-publication studies for the characters. The sketches also include several of the Baron and his son (named Ujebek, NOT Wulfenbach) when they were both intended to be villains. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/gallery]/sketches/strips/ggsketch_20070221.jpg
Alas, the link to the sketches has moved several times and I don't see it where I expected it to be on the GG website. But if you do a Web image search for [Girl Genius sketches] you'll turn up a bunch of them.
The first page of the Daily Sketch seems to start here: https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/gallery/sketch.php?date=20061129 But all the links are broken - the links all point to "comic.php?date=" but they should say "sketch.php?date=" instead. To view them all I manually edited the address field in my browser to roll it forward one calendar day for each page (unlike the main story which typically advances 3 pages a week this advances every day) and seems to go up to https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/gallery/sketch.php?date=20070930
I was looking for the one with Klaus and Tarvek in which Klaus was grilling him: "Monsters in the sewers. [Other disasters.] Tarvek. Explain." "It was my father, sir! He never tells me anything!"
