Here at 2dGoggles we are always On The Alert for the very latest Babbage facts, especially facts as awesomely cool as these.. via Bruce Sterling at Beyond the Beyond: Charles Babbage, the Secret Police Reports!! “The known Fortunato Prandi of Camerana, arrived here from Lyon during the 10th day of the present month in the…

Lovelace and Babbage vs The Organist, pt 5
This is a totally self-indulgent episode that has nothing to do with anything. What’s the use of Pictures and Conversations without NOTES? This episode is dedicated to Martin Gardner’s Annotated Alice, which I read until it fell apart; more recently I’ve been hugely enjoying Lewis Carroll in Numberland, a highly recommend little book, from whence…

We Interrupt This Comic for Important Announcements
Howdy kids! Next episode should be up in a couple of days; in the meantime, some bits of news. This just in: my fanart has higher production values than my actual art: I don’t know about you but I think it’s AWESOME. Babbage looks way hotter than he has any right to do, but you’ll…

Lovelace and Babbage Vs. The Organist, Part 4
Too late have I realized this series should be called “Lovelace and Babbage Vs Organized Crime”. Dang it! For the sountrack to the first part of this comic, press play: Music is the silence between the notes, they say, just as the comic is the bunch of drawings between these NOTES: — Obviously the most…

Ada Lovelace Day!
So, you know that thing where the Large Hadron Collider keeps breaking down in improbable ways, almost undoubtedly caused by time-travelling bad-luck particles out to prevent the destruction of our universe? Well, a similar phenomenon seems to have been out to get me last week. As we all know last year’s Ada Lovelace Day post…

The Organist Pt 3
So, this took way too long. Also, it’s very disorganized and I’m not thrilled with a lot of the transitions, but I comfort myself with the thought this is not an actual comic, merely a theoretical comic. Anyways, let us not loose sight of what’s really important, which is, WE WON THE HOCKEY. On to…

The Story
So although I finished up on the virtual Giant Monsters a couple of weeks ago, I still had to face ACTUAL Giant Monsters in the form of a live audience at The Story last Friday. A great time was had by all, including even me when I emerged from my haze of terror! I’ve assembled…

Lovelace and Babbage Vs. The Organist Pt 2
Howdy Kids! I drew a special comic last week for the upcoming The Story conference, the theme of which was Wilkie Collins’ famous motto, “Make ’em laugh, make ’em cry.. and make ’em wait.” I have the last part NAILED! Without further ado! ANGST!!! DRAMA!!!!! CHARTS!!!!!!!! On to The Organist Part 3 NOTES: — Quasiamicable…

Lovelace and Babbage Vs The Organist! pt 1
The wisest and best of men- nay, the wisest and best of their actions, may be made ridiculous by a person whose first object in life is a joke. Most unfortunately for Charles Babbage, I just so happen to be such a person. On to The Organist Part 2 Nooooooootes!! So, Charles Babbage, he hated…
