Description
For those not familiar with the man in the second panel: Nikola Tesla, as played by David Bowie, appears in the book and movie The Prestige. In an effort to make a teleportation machine, he instead creates a machine that makes an exact duplicate of something, only some distance away. Apparently, he's been tinkering with it some.This arc ends here; I'll leave it to your imaginations how (and if) any of the "copies" made it back to their original sources.
Coming next week: One of the most cracked out ideas I've had for the Roommates series. More than a little magic will be worked.

Haha. David Bowie and Nikola Tesla are just about my two favorite men ever. And the Prestige and this episode are amazing, because the two are combined. Found this through Pika, and love it.

Damn, you got me addicted to this... I'll watch you as soon as I reach the end
Nikola Telsa? I didn't know Bowie played him- I was expecting Andy Warhol from that obscure Jean-Michelle Basquiat film that no-one outside my art class has seen 
Thanks for the wonderful comic- onwards I go

I think this is probably the best thing on paper ever. The Goblin King and Tesla... Labyrinth and The Prestige... *dies*

I'm very glad you enjoyed.

It's two of my favourite movies ever... together!

*has a small coronary* THAT WAS BOWIE? Where tf was I? .....Oh wait, that's right. I hadn't seen Labyrinth yet.
...Actually, now that I'm looking at screenshots, I realize I never would have guessed anyway.

Yes, yes it was. He looked completely different than he did in Labyrinth. It's almost mindboggling.

He can probably get out of this one okay... probably.

Excellent. I was hoping he'd be the double.

Oh Lawd. Nikola Tesla always makes life more...interesting.

Actually, the real Tesla was even more...interesting...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
heheheheh...he also appeared in Zoolander...XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He did, but he appeared as himself, so it really doesn't count. He looked fabulous, though. I have no idea how his hair looks so awesome after all these years...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, yeah I guess. Lol there is actually another movie, and he's a character (kinda bad movie tho...) it's The Man Who Fell To Earth....or something like that...

Yay! I was hoping there would be a Nolan reference. Tesla has got to be the coolest inventor ever; especially as portrayed in the film version of The Prestige.

Eventually. The sad thing is, Davenport has worked on the same projects as both Quast and Butler. All he needs now is to work on one with Bowie, and we can play Six Degrees of Jack Davenport.

hahaha.. best game ever!

0_0 Wow. SO would not have Recognized Bowie if you hadn't said it was him.
(I didn't see The Prestige, but I looked at the IMDb picture gallery for it and I was just like, "What the hell?")
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He does look incredibly different in that movie. It's a completely different feel.

Ha. The moment my friend saw that it was David Bowie on the screen she burst out laughing, and now I can't stop...

I'm very glad you both enjoyed.

Okay, now I do officially love you. (Honestly, I'm just amazed that I am recognizes all these references without outside aid of explanation. I know who all these idiots are. Save for maybe one or two.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It constantly amazes me how Davenport has been in the same movie as Butler and TV show as Quast. All he needs to do is work with Bowie, and we're set.

Are you sure they haven't already? Check IMDB.com. They let you plug in two names at a time to see if they ever worked together. It's quite a convenient feature.
