Way back when I started this story, I established that Hannibal and his father have been estranged for years because I thought it was a nice, dramatic subplot. But then I realized that sooner or later, I’d need to resolve it. I decided to put if off for later. Well, now it’s later and I need to get these two wacky genius inventors beck on speaking terms with each other. And to do it in 5-6 panel page increments. And in as few pages as possible so I can get back to wrapping up the plot.
This page was ten panels, and it has a heckuvalotta dialogue. But it’s a first step. At least they’re talking.
But what’s this about a weather machine…?





this is off topic a man just posted, very seriously mind you, that he didn’t know that the US traded goods with Britain in the 19th century and I wanted to pound my head against something.
Looks like someone’s a little salty about Thomas Edison being forced out as the head of General Electric and the world switching from DC to AC (though that was mainly due to George Westinghouse.) I’m guessing there’s a plot to take over electricity production and distribution.
Yes, it is indeed someone with a grudge.
