Came across this comic strip <https://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/> some
years ago: a contrafactual imagining of the adventures of Lovelace and
Babbage, getting together to fight crime.
(“Crime” being, in Babbage’s case, music, and in Lovelace’s case, poetry.)

Some of the CLA regulars might remember that comic strip. It was
mentioned on several occasions here: my CLA archive has postings in
2009, 2011, 2014, and 2023.
Recommended! (I have the book...)

For some reason, Ms Padua decided that “Difference Engine” was a nicer
name for the machine that Babbage built in her version.
