Aside from sharing Phil's writing and artwork, What's New with Phil and Dixie also has some more direct links with Girl Genius. In various pages from the series there are: * A "guest appearance" by Agatha and Krosp (the characters are not named, but they appear in panel four) * Three appearances by Krosp where he is referred to by name: * Applying for the job of Volrath's minion * As Volrath's minion in love * As the companion/sidekick of Genixa, God-Queen of Light * One more brief appearance (panel five) by an unnamed Krosp * A poster for Girl Genius appears in the background of three panels of this page
