They’re also a winter-themed side, which plays into “mint”. As for the tower, well, not all puns on a side play into the same theme: Spacerock’s tower is called Jenga, after all. And the story arc dropdown in Girl Genius typically updates about dozen new titles at a time, then goes quiet again until the next burst. ---

As for the “already,” if you read the “Elephant in the Room” update at the bottom of the page, Rob says he’s going to be publishing updates on a M-W-F schedule until Xin is ready to resume her duties. ---

I guess the pedobear is foul-tempered because there are _no chidren_ in Erfworld, and thus no point to a pedobear’s existence. ---

Those aren’t candies, they’re words usually prefaced by “Bad-”: Badminton, [Badfinger](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-15553734). I’d expect to see Goodass, Goodabing, Goodger… ---

> [@](#): > > New page, just in case you thought Wanda couldn’t get any creepier… I don’t know; it makes sense for a croakamancer to think that way. I mean, here she is being presented, for the first time in her life, with her very reason for existence. ---

I thought it was a little unfortunate, having the “Wanda the creepy necrophiliac” update followed by the sad news about Xin’s mother. > [@Gyrate](#): > > It was supposed to be [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badfinger). Ahhh. Wasn’t my scene, so I never would have thought of that. ---

As an aside, from the previous update, I quite agree with Tommy. I, too, would much prefer to tap an elf (of any sort) rather than a gobwin, goyle, gump, or twoll. Is that based on a real song? ---
