Ecology and Biodiversity Opinion and facts on climate change 1 Aug 2009 Although this is an Opinion column in the Sydney Morning Herald, it is not. This is. Or rather the global warming deniers that it parodies are peddling nothing but devoutly hoped for opinions. Oops: Hat tip Deltoid Read More

The original is known as Clarke’s Third Law Corollary and goes, “Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.” Who said it? Me. Keep in mind that Girl Genius is set in a steampunk fantasy world with tons of weird science. A heterodyne is basically a wizard who uses technology to actuate his magic. When inspired a heterodyne can perform feats of technology that are down right magical. GG is basically making fun of technological wonder stories from the mid to late 19th century on up to, in a sense, today.

Alan you mean a spark. Sparks are the technology wizards in Girl Genius. Heterodynes are a particularly dynasty which the main character Agatha is descended from (this isn’t a massive spoiler one finds this out early in volume I).
