LOVE the comic. Two of the panels from this one would make BRILLIANT wallpapers: Lovelace, annoyed, standing arms crossed in the middle of a black background; Babbage, devastated, to the right of a black background. I don’t suppose you’d be so kind as to supply larger versions for your adoring fans? :) If Zazzle lets you sell downloadable files, I’d pay!

Hi there, it’s my first time posting.

Some dangerous stuff happening, Sydney. The internal conflict begins! Between Babbage and Lovelace, and in Lovelace herself. So now where will she go, now that she’s left the Difference Engine HQ?

Oh, ell oh ell – I just opened up this week’s “Imperial City: London C 19th” class reading and it is totally a report presented to the Royal Statistical Society. It’s by Charles Booth – couldju just skim it for me and regurgitate the general concepts in comic form so I don’t have to digest all these tables of figures?

I see Charles Babbage is having a Basil of Bakerstreet psychotic relapse, here. I fully approve.

My favourite bits: Quailing Lovelace and oblivious Babbage in panel 4; and the mathematicians v. musicians graph.

“If so, if ever I could be worthy or capable of being used by you, my head shall be yours.”

Wow. That’s… that’s some pretty sexy stuff.

And, yes, I too now find her habit of underlining words to be extremely irritating.

Thanks for the heads up on the article! I’d like to get access to it while I can (if I can).

Oh, Babbage. That’s right, you lived before von Neumann and Ted IKaczynski.

And Moriarty. Can’t forget Moriarty.

Great Scott! That’s exciting! There’s a fun tale as to how I discovered this site…: while I was trying to find pictures of steampunk fashion (in the early morning), I came across the picture of Babbage and Lovelace discussing what steampunk means. So throughout the day I had wondered where I heard the name ‘Lovelace’ before, finally at the end of the day at school I had my teacher look it up for me, he said “Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer, she helped Charles Babbage’s invention perform algorithms.” When I went home I Googled “lovelace and babbage” and the suggestion box showed “lovelace and babbage comic” I click on it and ta-da! I found your grand site! Now I tell everyone about it and how funny it is, although I’m not sure if I understand all of it. I also like it for its difference compared to other comics, despite that I’ve never became a fan of a comic, until now. So, like many others I anxiously await what will happen to the grand pair that is Lovelace and Babbage!
