I just realized something in a discussion with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seawasp over at James Nicoll's blog.
The earliest installments of Ralph 124c41+ appeared over 99 years ago, I think. Yup-- says here that it began in the April 1911 issue of Modern Electrics. Time to start baking a Ralph cake.
Anybody up for a centennial celebration next spring? Capricon? Minicon? Renovation?
It's not a real good science fiction novel, but it is an important science fiction novel.
You'd think, being out of copyright, this book would be online. But I can't find it. I do have a paper copy, or two.
Link to the University of Nebraska Press edition.
Maybe putting it online would be a suitable way to celebrate?
Do you have other suggestions?
Long ago, I wrote an essay for a Chicon VI progress report and program book in which Ralph figures heavily.
