Babbage and Lovelace

I seem to be a fan of webcomics.. well some of them. in that vein, here is a webcomic I have been reading today about Charles Babbage, inventor of the difference engine.

but what i wanted to put a picture up of was the depiction of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.




































"Isambard Kingdom Brunel was like the Wolverine of the early Victorians. He was short, ripped, had big sideburns, smoked 50 cigars a day, AND KICKED EVERYONE’S ASS!!"
