Yes, it did exist! Good old Mad King Ludwig, by golly! The winter garden of the Munich Residenz. The day this panel was posted, it did happen to be (in the story line) a year since Ludwig had died. And in real life, a year since my father had died, one of the most ardent Wagner fans who ever existed, even though he was Jewish. So it goes. This timing was pretty much unplanned, since how could I have managed it?

Molly Demeter Sokolow Hayden (or Modemeter, for obvious reasons of length) grew up surrounded by her father’s comic book collection, sometimes literally. She fell in love with Will Eisner’s Spirit at an inappropriately young age and wishes she could draw like Jaime Hernandez. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, her daughter, and her cat, and sneaks down to her drawing table whenever she can.
