But the von Foggs are based on the Foglios. It might be a legitimate term, but it’s also a legit reference. Aaron chose that specific word for that reason, I’m sure.
I never put that together. I know the Foglios have 2 kids and Phil tends to wear a fedora (or at least draw himself with one). And airships makes sense. And we have never seen Senora Von Fogg. Huh, it makes so much sense.
Whoa – a Girl Genius reference here? I love that webcomic!
Actually, “heterodyne” is a legitimate engineering term that’s been around since decades before Phil Foglio was even born.

It’s a bowler hat, not a fedora. But other than that you’re spot on.
And Phil put Aaron in Girl Genius, so it’s likely a bit of friend tit-for-tat. They both end up cartoonish villains in the other’s comics.
