masquerobot added,
the context of this is really interesting too. this was part of the AC vs DC propaganda campaign. Factoid from memory: Edison advocated for use of AC for the electric chair executions to associated AC with grisly torturous death. DC is actually better suited for that use though!
Didn't he push for the electrocution of that poor elephant too? :(
don't know of that story but I wouldn't be surprised. Edison was a fucking asshole really. I imagine him as being Trump-like in a lot of ways.
There’s more to the story of Topsy than I knew; also Wikipedia says that the electrocution happened 10 years after the “war of currents.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_(elephant) …
the only comic I was unable to finish reading was a wordless slow motion adaptation of the video of topsy being killed stretched over 20 pages
