The lightning strikes make this a very romantic spot.

Today's page[]

That bag held by Franz must be made of a strong material. That amount of gold is very heavy, and he is hitting objects with sharp edges.

Let's see: Gold is 19 grams per cubic centimeter, drop it to 15 for spaces between the coins. That's the same as 15 metric tons per cubic meter. The bag looks like a sphere 6 meters in diameter, let's call it 5 meters. That's 500 metric tons of gold. 16 million troy ounces of gold, at $1600 per ounce that's 25 billion dollars worth of gold. (Someone check my math.) Argadi 09:43, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

are you sure the treasure consists only of gold coins? Finn MacCool 14:00, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, don't forget gems. Those ought to add to the cost... (And the pain!) ~Mysteria~ (talk) 19:07, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

So? You know anyone who's going to try to take it away from Franz? He said Rejoice! LOL AndyAB99 11:50, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

So... Where's Gil? 68.89.128.134 16:40, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Damn for that much gold and whatever treasures are in the bag, I will take on Franz, wheres my baseball bat? Agathahetrodyne 18:11, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Gotta love Mama. "De perfect place to direct battles und spit on pipple!" Also, woohoo! Go Franz! Guardian-dragon beats clank-dinosaur! "...REJOICE!" ~Mysteria~ (talk) 19:05, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


Yep, bringing that thing down would have been a problem for Militia riflemen or even Jägermonsers, and if ther've even got any artillery back online yet, it's facing the wrong way. But fail to rejoice when Franz announces the glad tidings and whack, problem solved! Gotta love Franz, it's safer. Datkhound 20:05, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


Did anyone else that the monster carrying a large sack of goodies he's giving away for free to those he judges as deserving first appeared on a comic released the day after Christmas? —jdreyfuss 18:45, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

From the Heterodyne Hoard[]

You have all heard the Doom Bell. Now you may be wondering about the Heterodyne Treasure. The fine folks at Wikia have found some and want to help celebrate the next Girl Genius Day. We have thought about it Forum:Should_we_have_a_contest? and have decided to award the legendary treasure by holding a Zumzum raffle.

Cover to Agatha Heterodyne and the Guardian Muse

A Zumzum Raffle[]

Caveat Editor
Jaegers love games

What is a Zumzum raffle. It is a game where in a prize is offered. The only guarantee given is that all those who are not selected to receive the prize will not receive it. This leaves a small chance that someone who is selected will receive compliments of Peter, Wikia's Content Production Manager an autographed copy of Girl Genius: Agatha Heterodyne and the Guardian Muse.

Mayors pool


There are two factors in being gullible eligible for the Raffle.

1) First you must perform a labor. In other words make a significant and worthwhile contribution to the scholarly portion of the site. 2) You must be contactable. This would mean having an account and an email address connected with the account. If you are selected to receive the treasure you must be willing to supply a mailing address.

The benefit of your editing help is we will have a more useful site for GG Scholars everywhere. Hopefully you will stretch yourself and we will have more people who know how to add pages or do update maintenance as pages come out. The Foglios. Have. Not. Missed. A page update. Ever.

How the raffle will run[]

  • The qualifying period is between now and the 6th of January 2012.
  • Choose an appropriate labor.
More items can may be added to this list as they are thought of.
Or you may define and create your own labor
 as long as it improves the scholarly portion of our site.
  • Complete the labor while logged in.
  • Add your name to the Treasure Seekers section of the raffle using ~~~~ the four tildas.
  • Wait for the end of the contest.
  • If you are not selected this is all you need do.
  • The person selected to receive the prize will be contacted by Peter via email. They will exchange the necessary info and the treasure shall be sent by Peter on behalf of the mayor of Zumzum.
  • So that we all know how the contest came out the person who receives the treasure must report back and add their name to the Treasure Finders list.

Details about chances[]

  • You may qualify as many times as you wish. This will not increase your chance of not being selected. I.E. One person, one chance.
  • Do not try to do all the labor yourself. Leave others something to do also. You may suggest useful things to do as well.
  • The purpose of the contest from our point of view is to increase the number of people comfortable with adding edits to this site. Plus to increase the valuable content of the site. That is the real Heterodyne Treasure.

The fine print

  • This site is not approved by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Studio Foglio, LLC or Airship Entertainment. This site contains portions of images clipped from the comic. Since they found us and linked to us (eeeee!), we hope this means our use of clipped images is "fair". No copyright infringement is intended. (See Copyrights) Of course, as TPU students, we strive for utmost accuracy and being absolutely, positively non-biased in our research on the early life of Agatha Heterodyne. Especially where the powerful, brilliant, perfectly reasonable, charming, dashingly handsome Baron is concerned. (Did we mention reasonable?) Any inaccuracies or omissions are the fault of our textbooks, we swear.
  • If you remember What's New with Phil and Dixie, the guy in the bowler hat may look familiar.
