The first release is free, it’s ‘Lovelace The Origin’ that we all know and love and it looks awfully snazzy if I do say so myself! Screencap:<\/p>\n

As well as The Origin (freeeee!!) we’ve included The Client (not free! we’re charging, I dunno, a pound or something, haven’t decided), which I’ve gone over and done a bunch of cleanup on, because man some of those drawings were gnarly. Why the Client? The Organist was too long and The Economy too hideous for the time I had available to clean up the drawing (i.e., none), so the Client it is! \u00a0The others will follow along presently.<\/p>\n
It wouldn’t be 2dgoggles without the footnotes of course!! \u00a0Plenty of footnote action in there, revealed through the magic of iPad Rotate-O-Vision!!<\/p>\n The footnotes are way whizzy, they’ll have zoomable images and snazzy primary document embeds and the whole of Babbage’s autobiography is in there and they’ve worked super-hard on them over at Agant. \u00a0I think it looks fantastic.<\/p>\n All this magic will be up on the iTunes app store on October 7th for Ada Lovelace Day<\/a>, so I hope at least a couple of you have iPads otherwise that’s a lot of weekends I could have slept in. \u00a0Alternately there may be people out there with iPads who haven’t read the comic, if such a thing is conceivable, so if you know such a person you might want to say, “I say! \u00a0You should download the Lovelace and Babbage app!”<\/p>\n If you don’t have an iPad, fear not, Citizens!! Because now that I’ve spent all this time cleaning up The Client I’ve got all this nice cleanish artwork on my hands and at such times a young<\/span> comic artist’s fancy lightly turns to thought of PRINT. \u00a0PRINT I TELL YOU! \u00a0I’ll tell you something about print thought: \u00a0it is a hella work. \u00a0They take whole forests and chop them down and mash them up and flatten them out and then your lousy comic is sprayed onto it with LASER BEAMS! \u00a0So it’s kind of an operation. \u00a0Will keep you posted on the whole print thing.<\/p>\n And if that’s not enough to worry about there’s also…<\/p>\n Ripped from the headlines! \u00a0The latest dispatches from the WAR on ERROR! \u00a0When it’s not falling off my wall it looks like this:<\/p>\n What with all this work and excitement I could sure use a dry martini, hence my appearance this coming Tuesday the Hendrick’s Lectures<\/a>, where there will be Monster Hunters! \u00a0and Beautiful Clothes! and the fine fine Steampunk Bible!<\/a> And if anyone wants me to deface their copy \u00a0I will be on hand. \u00a0It’s on Tuesday the 6th of September \u00a0at\u00a011\u00a0Mare Street, E8 4RP in Fashionable Hoxton, doors open at\u00a06\u00a0pm, show begins at\u00a07pm.<\/p>\n Anyways a million apologies all for the long long wait between comics this time around. \u00a0I am well aware the The Mysterious Forces of the Universe have given me a great responsibility in this here comic; a responsibility my craven addiction to making a living has caused me to let down lately. \u00a0But much is happening below the surface and soon my mole army will burst out of the earth. \u00a0As it were.\u00a0In the meantime hold tight. \u00a0Listen to the Goon Show<\/a> or something. \u00a0Yehti!!!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Heigh ho, Loyal Readership! \u00a0As I drag my exhausted form over the desert wastes of the last three weeks of film production, a glimmer on the horizon. \u00a0Is it… a mirage? \u00a0Or could it be… Lovelace and Babbage: The App!
