It’s because of the exhibition that I “discovered” your comics. Which is why it took two years for me to actually find your website :P

Hey, guess what? I think I’m the only kid on the website. Since you need to think to understand, and at least have a vague understanding of Ada Lovelace, most 12 year olds wouldn’t be here. I’m unique! Anyways, this is really cool! I didn’t realize that Babbage hated music that much, and the 2D goggles are really cool. For the sake of children, continue.

Was rereading your site yesterday when what should come on the radio but a report that Charles Babbage’s difference engine (or one of the prototypes anyway) is currently on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California – not two miles or so from where I work! OBviously I now have to go see it (with a slightly different eye of course).

Thanks for putting together this great comic, and keep it up, you’re inspiring all us hard working nerds to love our collective pasts.

Dear Sydney!

Your work is fantastic and so very endearing. (Did I forget to mention how perfectly cool your art for the Oxford Museum looked on display?) Best of luck to you, as you are as amazing talent. Warm Regards and it was wonderful to meet you at the Steampunk Museum Opening. Art Donovan

I weep at the distance from here to Oxford. (And notice a certain resemblence in the nose and jawline between the Countess and our host.)

CONGRATULATIONS!! Oh, to see the exhibition in person!! Thank you for the links. The interviews, the issue of Broadsheet and your comic are bridging the ocean.

Your comic is wonderful fun, from the old illustrations of flying machines to Brunel’s cameo (“what a guy”) and the dialog. It’s not one of the best lines in this episode, but I plan to shout “Out of the way, mathematicians!” at my brother this Christmas dinner…

Cheers on your newest installment of Lovelace and Babbage! You are now my second favorite comic with only The Desert Peach beating you out for first place (sorry, somebody has to be first and a silver medal ain’t too bad. *grins*) I eagerly await future episodes, especially the one about vampires defeated by statistics. So—-slay your Giant Monsters already and hop to it! *taps foot impatiently*

The Museum of the History of Science would certainly welcome any donations towards a higher profile display space and better curatorial and conservation facilities for the Difference Engine and many other important artefacts. 800 square feet of diagrams is something of a tall order for the current site, where potential for expansion is very limited.

Congratulations on the Exhibition! I also want to say how much I’ve enjoyed this comic! I’m looking forward to seeing future amazing episodes!

And, good choice of vendor for your store items. I ordered my Crime-Fighting Coffee Mug, at a bit past midnight here in central California USA, and received it ( completely intact! ) at my door only a day-and-a-half later… incredible!
