Here’s a panel from the first installment of a graphic novel I’m working on. I decided to incorporate a time machine to maximize possible storylines.
There’s a line from a Steve Goodman song that goes, “From the cradle to the crypt is
a mighty short trip.” Here we see that this is especially true if you’re in a time machine.
Here’s a detail showing my illustrated version of time-lapse photography.
My time machine looks suspiciously like a turkey, doesn’t it? Yes, it really gobbles up the years… : )
My machine is a affectionate parody of the time machine in the 1960 movie version
of H.G. Wells’ celebrated novel. Here we see Rod Taylor as George the Time Traveler contemplating the machine in his 1900s-era laboratory.
MGM art director Bill Ferrari designed the machine. It has a great Victorian look. I’ve always admired its elegance. The film’s a bit cheesy, but it won an Oscar for its inventive time-lapse photography, as seen in the clip below.
Are you a time travel fan? Ever read Wells’ book or seen the movie?
Does time seem to pass more quickly when you’re eating a turkey sandwich??
Hope you’ll leave a comment.
