Also interesting to read this in parallel with Bryan Talbot's The Casebook Of Stamford Hawksmoor. The two have a similar take on anthropomorphic art, and a similar translation of noir to graphic novels (though Bryan uses the tropes of the procedural). Horvath is Dexter to Talbot's The Wire.

Makes me think of a microSF short short.

The Time Traveller gets out of his machine. "When am I? Tell me, do you have fusion? Quantum computers, a man on Mars?"

"Of course."

"So it's 2055!"

You'll also need a truck or two for the necessary dilution cooling apparatus...

It's from the same folk as the Shiftcam mobile phone lenses I've used for a while now. I got it in a Kickstarter deal with a Shiftcam case and a small USB-C hub...
