| This is a story about aviation. |
If you've ever wondered why there isn't more historical fiction focused on the early days of aviation -- why that period of intense competition and ground-breaking invention hasn't been thoroughly milked for every moment of high drama and action -- well, it's probably because no one could ever hope to compare to Gag Manga Biyori's definitive take on the subject.
Probably.
See for yourself in chapter 16! Good Luck, Wright Brothers!

It's our longest release to date, at 16 whopping pages! Oooh! And it's even got a plot ...of sorts! Whoaa!
We sincerely apologize for the terrible quality of the scans here, but there's really only so much we can do. And hey, this is set back in 1903, for all you know, "ugly mass of grey jpeg artifacts" could have been the style at the time.
That pic probably won't make sense until you read the chapter, so hurry up with that.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is the original photo of the Wright trio that I utterly desecrated/improved in every way.
Yeah, the fashions of the day were not kind to Katharine. Also Orville seems to be more coat than man. Wilbur, on the other hand, is looking sharp ...and on his way to teach a Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
tagged under "photoshop masterpieces" yes indeed, yes indeed.
ReplyDeletethat family portrait... how did you found that crown?!!!
and i bet Orville has mushrooms under his coat.
ACTUALLY! My original idea was to photoshop this up and then gif it with an arrow hitting Orville's hat, making it tilt back to reveal the mushroom. But after Wilbur turned out better (weirder) than I ever dreamed, I figured that was GMB-y enough.
DeleteI'm not sure, I think I got the crown pic from an ebay listing for novelty party items. My search history was absolutely destroyed while looking for source images. Snakes and leeks and arm cuffs things and so many vintage pictures of shirtless men in dark trousers. Thank you, strangely organized image hoarders of the internet for making everything I needed so readily available. My targeted advertising is going to be so bizarre from now on.
targeted advertising she says, making me feel bad for using add block...
DeleteOh I do too, but you just know that google complies all your searches and browser history into a big embarrassing ball of info about you and tailors every subsequent search to meet the needs of what it's profiled you to be. So now everything I look up will probably be filtered towards a leek-loving, snake-handling, shirtless-men ogling, party king.
DeleteSorry google, I'm just not that interesting.
