Being an artist is far too much power because you can just have a phrase pop into your head, like "penny-farthing lightcycle," and then you can just. Make it be a thing

but be careful

(because if you have the kind of messed-up brain that would DO this, then you may also end up with thoughts like: "they would not call it a penny farthing, though. What kind of currency do they use inside a computer" and then the Evil side of you will say "the crypty kind" and will also try to tell you that Bit and Tron both have crypt money named after them and you will have to smack that part of your brain and tell it to shut up)

R. Tragardh, Velocipede, patented on 9/12/1882.

Yes, I do want training wheels on my penny-farthing, please and thank you.

Series: Utility Patent Drawings, 1837 - 1911

Record Group 241: Records of the Patent and Trademark Office, 1836 - 1978

Image description: Drawing of a bicycle, the kind with one giant wheel and one tiny one. Side and front views show small wheels on either side of the big one, set at such an angle that they’re not always touching the ground, but will touch the ground if you tip to the side too much.

I think the part where lisa is like "you probably didn't even drive back when you were alive. you probably rode on one of those bicycles with the big stupid wheel in the front" and the creature looks at her and she's like "you did" is really funny

#she's so rude. I love her #personally I think he died around 1889 at around 19 because I like the idea that he came back a century after death #so if that's about when he died he would've been around to see both penny farthings and the beginning of commercial cars #take my headcanon with a grain of salt though because there's probably a more accurate way to figure out when exactly he lived and died #I've just only seen the movie once lol #lisa frankenstein #lisa swallows #the creature #creature swallows #EDIT apparently he died 1837 so he would not have ever seen one of those #look at this guy. he doesn't even know what a bicycle is

Simon Petrikov, also known as the Ice king in his cursed days, riding an old fashioned bike. I just wanted to draw him just pleasantly enjoying something from the olden days, even considered old in the pre-mushroom war era, since he is the type of person who'd enjoy such a thing.

In Lisa Frankenstein the Creature's year of death was 1837, right? And we're probably meant to assume he's around the same age as Lisa, give or take a year or two. Meaning he would literally have been born around the time Mary Shelley was writing & publishing Frankenstein.
