I will be updating this comic weekly, if all goes well. Sorry about the slow update schedule, updating another comic three times a week sort of takes it out of you…
Thanks for the comments and rates!
I was asked the question–what is steampunk. Here's an answer for you guys!
Steampunk is a sub-genre of historical fiction/fantasy/science fiction generally set in a Victorian era where technology had been advanced during the period of steam engines. So you get a lot of technology like we'd have now, except steam-powered. Airships are a staple of the genre. Often it takes a fantasty twist by using aether stones/magic crystals/whathaveye to power things as well.
It's essentially a ‘what if’, asking the question of what if technology advanced much sooner than it did, following the fashion trends of that time period. Think–Victorian era, but with more airships.

Great page and thanks for the FAQ. Once a week is fine; goes by real quick when you get to Midge's age. %]
