If you happen to share my obsession interest for science in the 1800′s you should definitely check out The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, a witty blog-comic created by animator Sydney Padua.

The comic’s main characters are Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, the historical figures considered to be the first programmer and the inventor of the programmable computer respectively. A real treat is to be able to read the author’s notes regarding different aspects of the story in each episode. The comic contains a wonderful mix of history, science, and a lot of steam (Steampunks rejoice).
