Historical Notes: True: The Panic of 1837!<\/a> Ada’s dialogue on the subject is stolen from a 1888 biography of Van Buren, quoted extensively in the Wikipedia entry. The resemblance to the present ructions is uncanny!<\/p>\n

True:\u00a0 That is an actual horse race handicapping algorithm (with some modifications).<\/p>\n

Not true: Wellington was only Prime Minister until 1830; it is however true that he is much funnier than Robert Peel, so in this alternate history he gets to stay in office.<\/p>\n

Truthy: Lovelace’s gambling addiction gets mentioned occasionally in the slim background I have on her; it’s in dispute but I like it as a trait in a Mathematical Genius. Babbage may or may not have built a drink-serving Mechanical Woman– vague references but nothing solid.EDITED TO ADD:\u00a0 This was when I was just skimming Babbage’s autobiography, rather than avidly devouring it. She’s in there! <\/a> Although she doesn’t serve drinks… I intend to Improve that.\u00a0 Also in that section: one of Babbage’s puns, with helpful chart.<\/p>\n

This blog is, as the title says, dangerous experiments in comics.. it’s a learn-as-you-go excercise for me so any feedback on presentation (images– too big? too small? scrolliness good, or would you rather click-thru a series?), drawing (pacing okay? compositions confusing?), or content is appreciated.\u00a0 Something I learned already:\u00a0 it should go, character designs, THEN comic, not comic then character designs… Also– this blog is under construction kind of on the fly, so things might move around..<\/p>\n
