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.
Full Credits for characters mentioned here:
Erik belongs to Leroux and Webber.
Jareth belongs to Henson, Lucas, and Bowie.
Norrington belongs to Disney and Bruckheimer
Javert belongs to Hugo, Boublil, Schonberg, and Kretzmer.
Dracula belongs to Stoker and Craven.
Andre Marek belongs to Crichton.
Leonidas belongs to Miller and Varley.
Steve belongs to Moffat.
Michael Colefield and Pearse Harman belong to Ahearne.
George Seurat belongs to himself and Sondheim.

While those choices would be amusing, they don't lend themselves to the explanation of why there are a multitude of "copies" running around. Perhaps one day...

I'd be interested to see how Eric and Mr Tesla would interact.

The things those two men would invent... I think Tesla would get mighty vexed with what Erik could do with electricity.

Seeing as I am in love with Tesla and Bowie as separate entities, imagine my joy in watching The Prestige.
I love your comics, and I thank you for this one!
(I'm reading a very good book on Tesla right now, called " Tesla: Man Out of Time" if you're interested...)

You should totally thrown Thomas Jerome Newton in there for Bowie. I'd get a kick out of that!
Wow, I lose my password for a month and you throw out a ton of pages I've missed. Keep up the good work love!

Perhaps one day I'll dig the copy machine back out of storage and do another round. For now, I've got lots of ideas to get through and very little time to work on them.

I can imagine that, it'd be nice if the girls got copies at one point jareth would be happy seeing all the sarah look-alikes...although I don't think it'd be a big range of characters because jen looks nearly the exact same in almost every movie she does.

Tesla = win.
Skipping Thomas Jerome Newton = not so win.
T_T I was hoping to see the gorgeous alien appear as Jareth's doppleganger... oh, well... still brilliant, as always.

The copy machine is currently in the basement of the building, back by the boiler. Perhaps one day it will resurface...

Hey, I loved that movie! Almost as much as I love these comics. I had no idea that Tesla was played by Bowie, though.

He was very subtle and subdued compared to his role as Jareth. It's a nice range.

I haven't watched "The Prestige" yet, but it seems nice, is it? Oh by the way, LUV IT!!! Keep up the good work...wait, what about Legolas?

I don't need to torture Norrington quite that much just yet. Soon, perhaps, but not just yet.

One of these days I think Jareth needs to meet Ziggy.

The following is an actual David Bowie quote in regard to his many personas. (Sorry if this comes up twice). It was pulled from an online transcript and feels appropriate.
'Crikey, Buster, how gobsmackingly presumptous you are! Do you know how many f--king personas I get through a day!?! Do you have any idea
how crowded the dinner table gets in this house. And they all have their own opinions. None of them mine. I bet you're not even one of them are you? Are
you one of my opinions? I thought not. Until you've walked in my shoes, or rather, until I've walked in my shoes I should bloody well "shut up" until I'm asked for my opinion, shan't I? I'm sorry, I have to go and see my doctor. " - David Bowie.

snaps! see i thought youd pull out him as himself from zoolander..but that one works waaaaay better.

He had wonderful hair in Zoolander, but this really does move the plot along so well.

Have you seen Ps I love you? Oh Gerald Butler made me cry in that!

I'm a little reluctant to see anything where him dying is a major plot point.
