About this image

This satirical 5-panel "Storytelling Sundays" webcomic by Cayla Catz is set inside a lavish vintage steam train carriage, following a formally dressed teal Cheshire cat, steampunk Victorian woman, and two 19th century gentlemen debating the purported societal dangers of early railway travel over an elegant tea service. The rich, warm illustrative palette features deep plum, teal, dark wood, and soft cream tones, blending whimsical Alice in Wonderland fantasy, retro Victoriana, and dry humorous social commentary. The comic's dialogue explores historical technological anxiety, societal fear of progress, and vintage public panic around new transportation innovations.
