This comic is amazing! I give a year and a half from now before Adult Swim comes knocking. In addition, the notes at the end are as much fun to read as the comic! (That really was meant as a compliment!) My only request would be to keep with the scroll down approach rather than the click through. Otherwise, I look forward to reading the rest!

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?
Also, you are awesome. More please.

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!

Fan that I am of Byzantine architecture, the formula is actually a copula not a cupola.

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!
