Iron clad riverboats fixed with cannons patrol the Mississippi with an ever vigilant eye on the far shore. The West Bank is littered with the wreckage of robots that have failed to make the crossing. These places are called “No Hu-Man’s Land”

Corset Inspectors Badge
Here is my next pin design to come rolling off the assembly line. The Corset Inspectors Badge!. Make it official! Wear the corset inspector badge and let the World know “It’s ok, you’re a professional“.
I originally pitched this as a joke but so many people thought it was a good idea we ran with it. next up - The Kilt inspector Badge (again, a joke… maybe)
… in 1873 the railroads replaced their workers with automatons, but when a man named John Henry died in his fateful contest with a robot pile-driver, the robots learned what happens to things that become “obsolete”. They promptly turned on their human masters.
With no weapons able to overcome the robot menace, the bloodshed and loss of life was too massive for the young country still reeling from the civil war. President Grant, weary of war, choose to cut his losses and ceded everything west of the Mississippi to the robots.
Then in 1886, a young scientist named Nikola Tesla invented a new kind of pistol. the Tesla Electron Bolt Thrower. Armed with this new weapon the “Tesla Rangers” were formed to re-take the west.

Tesla Rangers - Mount up
For a while now I’ve had this idea to make my own line of “badges” for law enforcement agencies that never existed - the first one is a LoneStar-and-Gear shaped TESLA RANGERS badge - and is available via the shiny new Girl Genius webstore. Here is the blurb to go with it…
Haven’t you always wanted to enforce the laws of Science? (All right, I know, most of you would rather break them, but that’s why we need some trustworthy lawmen ’round these parts.)
It even has a space to add your own individual badge number. Mmmm. DIY!
In other news Girl Genius has been nominated for a second Hugo award in the category of “Best Graphic Story” - can we pull it off two years in a row? … hang on, I buried the lead here. Let me try again…
Girl Genius has been nominated for a second Hugo award!!!
That’s better… - can we pull it off two years in a row? Wow that’d be awesome. Really unlikely, based on our competition again this year. but really awesome if we did.

Hugo Awards… winner?
I am pretty dazed right now. The news that Girl Genius won the Hugo Award for best Graphic Novel came in the middle of game night. Everything after became this blurry hodgepodge of fantasy.
Now it’s hours after, and the reality is settling in. The Hugo. I won… a Hugo.
What… what do I do now? It feels like I’m supposed to be DOING something. There will be no sleeping tonight.
F**k … a Hugo.
