My grandfather died over the summer. A very quick interesting tidbit about him (as I don’t want to get too personal); He was born in 1920′s France. When the wars rolled around, his father fought in both and my grandfather went to work for the non-occupied government as a scientist. After the war, he went on to invent a crazy amount of things including, but not limited to, the Concord airplane. It was a weird feeling to stay in his house without him actually in it. I will miss him. I tried to use this as an exercise in some stuff I struggle with, like limited color pallets, so this comic took me longer than I thought it would. It was good practice!

What does this mask look like to you? A bird? 

 It’s actually a contemporary Venetian Carnival mask, resembling a doctor’s mask. These masks are made to resemble doctor’s outfits worn during the Black Plague. These “plague” doctors visited victims of this disease and their outfit consisted of a hat to show his status as a doctor and a mask to protect the face.  The mask had crystal eyes to protect the doctor’s eyes and a long beak stuffed with spices or herbs to purify the air that the doctor breathed.  The Carnival of Venice is internationally known for its elaborate masks. The annual celebration always ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. This particular mask and hat set were made by master mask makers of Tragicomica, a company located in Venice, Italy.

In November 1889, American journalist Nellie Bly began her record-breaking 72 day trip around the world. She was inspired to take this trip after reading Jules Verne’s 1873 novel, Around the World in Eighty Days. Bly traveled mostly by steamships and railroads with the journey taking her through England, France, Pakistan, and Japan. On January 25, 1890, Bly returned to New Jersey 72 days and 6 hours after her trip began.

Nellie Bly became a media sensation and a board game was created to celebrate her accomplishment. Gamers of 1890 would spin the dial and travel around the board until they reached the end. They would also want to avoid certain squares on the board which saddled them with delays similar to those Bly encountered, such as waiting for a ship to depart. If you look closely at the game board, you can see that a stormy day would take you back 10 days.

Sounds like fun!
