Leonard being a hockey fan

I made a very short comic about Eunice Newton Foote, an American physicist and an inventor in the 19th century. She was educated in Troy Female Seminary, a boarding school for women, where they were able to attend a nearby science college. She and her husband were women’s right activists.

In the 1856 she published a paper on the effect of gasses on the warming effect of the sun. Her findings for the first time showed that CO2 had direct effect on warming and cooling of the climate or what we would now call the greenhouse effect. Her work was presented by a male professor in American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, though women were in principle allowed to speak, but perhaps it would have been too much for the audience.

Three years after John Tyndall published similar findings about how various gasses trapped infernal heath radiation. In the paper he claimed that no one had done experiments on the issue and didn’t mention Eunice at all. For more than a century he was remembered as the first one to discover CO2′s effect on climate change, until very recently when Eunice’s work was uncovered again. There has been debate weather John Tyndall presented Eunice’s discovery as his own and didn’t name her or her work on purpose, or was is just a coincidence. Though he did publish a paper on color blindness on the same issue of the same journal where Eunice’s work was first published... Weather it was intentional or not, I imagine Eunice being pissed of that he erased her from history of science for a century and half.

Tagging my art peeps. As always I’m happy to add you or remove you from the tag list!

- Iris talking about the time she and Barry spent in the future in Life story of the Flash

Coming to Walmart next month. Probably will end up being bent and dented but a Flash Appearance is a Flash appearance

Part 33 is finally here aaahhhhh!! Sorry for taking so long!

The Chapter 1 Sybal Heim results comic is officially live!

Desktop viewing is recommended since mobile has trouble with flash comics. (It might take a minute to load as the comic is somewhat lengthy)

Barry’s tripping over his words, lol. It was before Barry and Iris got together in this run (Barry asked Iris out on a date at the end of the issue)
