Right now, the webcomic is working on chapter 23, but out of how many? I
vaguely remember an estimate from Philo Foglio of 24 or 25 chapters, but
that was at the start of the Castle Heterodyne arc. Has anybody heard an
update?

Realistically the answer is probably "As long as we can do it and make
money from it."

swag . . .

Considering that Higgs just entered Skifander, sans Zeetha, and the
door closed behind him, and that's not even the main arc, I suspect
it's going to go on for a while.

They continue to make money, we continue to be entertained. It seems a
fair exchange.

Also, given the nature of the Girl Genius series, where most of the payoff

satisfying conclusion to which what preceded was apparently leading to
fails to materialize.

From http://www.westercon64.org/?page_id=231, dated 2011
] The Foglios have two children, a son Victor (a budding artist and entrepreneur in his own right) and daughter Alex.

Aha, now we have not only an age but a birthday for Victor. His birthdate is [redacted] and his current age is nearly [redacted].
He may or may not have graduated a bachelor's program by now. [Unless perhaps perhaps Kaja was deliberately fuzzing
the date and/or year to hide Victor's true birthday.]

From https://girlgenius-lab.livejournal.com/187979.html, dated November 2008
Here we have a photo of Alex as a young girl, posing with her father Phil. Age estimate between seven and twelve?
