I think he turned later.
I've always made a turn in Albuquerque, always been a wrong turn no matter which way I've turned. Always a Bad Idea to make a turn in Albuquerque. :|
Albuquerque has a nice zoo.

Alright, I finally got a look @ the Bad Idea website and put in my pre-order for ENIAC (all 4). I like the premise, but I’m real curious how this computer flew the plane over Japan, opened the bomb-bay doors and dropped the bomb. I’ve been in a couple WW2 bombers and they’re not exactly built for computer-controlled flight! :lol: I am a sucker for alternate history (and time travel) stories, and WW2 for that matter. The art looks top-notch. Looking forward to getting issue #1 in my hands once it gets to the store. :D

ENIAC wasn't exactly much of an AI either. It couldn't even store any data; at least not for too long....much less 75 years.

To really think it could communicate with satellites--a future invention--is just a #BadIdea.

But "never trust a computer you can't throw out a window".

Ok... I just ordered issues 1-4 ENIAC from Ed (Collector’s Paradise). Ed is super nice and accommodating for anyone (like me) that doesn’t live near a comic distributor Of #Badidea (and needs mail service). Thank you Ed!

Thanks, Tom. I am about to post about it, we are changing things up a bit from our earlier position, just to push it a bit more.

I just asked the Big Bangie in Ireland if they could do the same (for EU readers).
