Sherlock Holmes Behind the Scenes pt. 2 (Patreon)

Kathy wasn't sure who should be Blone at the beginning, and I think he was supposed to be a random dog, here. It wasn't 'til a few pages later that we settled on using Jake. :)

And, in the first strip, we see one of the jokes that got left on the proverbial cutting room floor. :)

The text:

Narration: Soon we were rattling along in a hansom cab.

Watson: So what is this new invention, Holmes?

Holmes: He wouldn't say. He called it "revolutionary." *sighs* I do hope it isn't another cannon.

Watson: So what's so "handsome" about these things, anyway?

Holmes: The driver. (The driver is Anthony.)

Narration: We met the Professor in his laboratory.

Professor < >: ...so you see, Holmes, with this device, I can disassemble the atomic structure of matter, and reassemble it in any manner I choose.

Watson: Does it work?

Professor: Does it work--? I would not have summoned you here today if it did not work!

Professor: Behold! A lead bullet! I place it in the chamber, and--

(Machine makes peculiar noises, lights flash, etc. Looking pleased with himself, the Professor then extracts a gold bullet.)

Holmes: Remarkable!

Watson: Gold! Solid gold! Why...the man who had this machine could rule the world!

One thing I always wanted to use would be the phrase "Protonic Isotopes." Where, say Gold is a Negative 3 Protonic Isotope of Lead.
