This whimsical 6-panel sequential steampunk comic from the Temporal Wonders series follows a group of time-traveling companions as they hold a tea party overlooking the ancient Athenian Acropolis and Parthenon. The cast includes a grinning top-hat wearing Cheshire Cat, goggled steampunk gryphon, and two Victorian human explorers, with warm, vibrant painted art and thoughtful humorous dialogue discussing ancient Greek civilization, architecture, and the enduring legacy of human creativity. This cozy speculative fiction comic blends Alice in Wonderland whimsy, time travel themes, and historical wonder in a charming, character-driven format.

Tea with Alice and the Cheshire Cat Special guests: Alexander Veltman and a timetraveling hippogriff Alexander Veltman wrote "The Forebears of Kalimeros" (1836) where the narrator rides a hippogriff back to ancient Greece. It is considered the first Russian science fiction work. model: GPT2.5 Flare. One thing I've noticed about Flare is it does a much more polyanna comic than GPT2. I've been letting them create the dialogue to get their vibe and GPT2 pays attention to my prompt in that Cheshire is a wisecracker. GPT2.5 Flare makes him nice. Feels a bit weird to me. However, I did say "wonders of Ancient Greece" in my prompt so that might be why it went very positive. It ended up feeling like a happy PR travelogue. hmmm, tomorrow... Wonderful Wedneday? Maybe I'll change it to Witty Wednesday? and try to get Chessie to do some puns or something. GPT 2.5 Flare also gives a lot more dialogue than other models did previously although Muse also gives more dialogue too. I prefer less dialogue actually.
