Oh, but their unhappy endings ought to have you press on! Think of it, you can re-write their unhappy endings into awesome endings full of steam and explosions and fighting crime!

I love the process you use – it’s fascinating to see how people work!

Thank you so much for all this, and I’m talking about the whole site: the history and the links as well as the comic. Please do not apologize for those important things. We will be here when you get back! I second David’s t-shirt idea

Tobias- Babbage and Lovelace were both deeply, DEEPLY weird people.. I mean, they were weird even for Victorians, who were all messed up to begin with.

John- it says 1838 on the google books overview page, although those can be unreliable sometimes– Babbage’s parliamentary run was in 1832, so that makes sense.

Bill- Thinking of working Crosse into ‘The Organist’, for various reasons.

David- ah, tshirts.. must make more tshirts.. lol that would be a good one.

If you make “Enchanted Math Fairy” t-shirts, I will buy them.

All.

This was a most informative post, I thank you greatly. Also, I am still unsure of how to interpret the whole “Enchantress” thing. I may need some brandy…

depending on how many gags I can throw overboard to lighten the load..

Closely followed by an out-takes entry: “Lovelace & Babbage: The Blooper Reel!” Your adoring public demands it!

I was surprised to learn in the anecdotes that Lovelace was a fan of Andrew Crosse’s experiments. I wonder if she was more interested in the electrical experimentation or the rumors that he had created life in his lab. He’s a pretty interesting guy who would fit in well with your cast of characters.

It would be kinda cool to work in the ghost(s) in the mirror in Chas. Babbage: Hot or Not? link.

1- Don’t rush on our account, and if you feel like even eating before drawing, I don’t think anybody’ll scream too loudly.

2- These are amazing references, and yes, other than the ending, the reality of their stories are (almost) better than the fiction.

3- If we wish on other enchanted math fairies, can we have the two of them instead whisked through some obscure part of the planet where they made their programmable computers with bamboo and coconuts?

4- I can’t find a year on that “Friendly contributions” book. Do you have one? I ask because there’s a semi-creepy short story that might be based on that steam-powered Parliamentarian gag.
