Curse my early reactions; I should finish reading before I nitpick.

First off, love the comic, total brilliance. But a tiny nitpick: Babbage, according his autobiography, despised puns, saying they were a low form of humor. But i must admit “Sterling Engine” was quite clever.

Wasn’t there a mechanical computer similar to their ‘runaway model’ built specifically for buggering about with stock-marked numbers?

I love the differences in Ada’s and Babbage’s self-importance. Good comment on how we get into these messes.

Just in case you don’t mind fan proof reading: 8 rows of panels from the bottom, in the right panel Babbage says “he interest rate”. Should be “the interest rate”. Keep up the great work!

These are brilliant – the content, the writing, the graphical style, and the interesting notes at the bottom of and between each strip post. Thank you for letting your imagination run away like the economic model … and then documenting that fact and sharing it with the rest of us!

These are most awesome! I hope you continue to make more. And along with others, I would love to purchase print versions.

To answer Ada’s question, or to add to the confusion – the two best poets in our creative writing class were among the worst punsters. However, the girl who was also taking a poetry workshop won the pun contest and a Speed Racer pinata.
