Sylvie Collection, 2004 to 2024

v1.0.2 of the Sylvie Collection has been posted

It adds the new web port of Cat Planet I just made, and a more accurate account of the Cat Planet version differences. Should you redownload the collection? Probably not.

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

Image from an old 1950s magazine called "Mechanix". It's a drawing of a landscape with a river running from the bottom left with mountains next to it, fading into plains in the distance, and then snow-capped peaks in the background. Some kind of factory with smokestacks is along the river. Behind the factory is an enormous cannon shooting a massive arc of water into the sky. The water lands in a big collection dish on the other side of the nearby mountains at a facility with its own cannon which shoots the water to another facility in the distance and so on and so on. Big text in the top left reads "CALIFORNIA'S BIG SQUIRT". There is an info box in the bottom right with a paragraph:

"The parched deserts of Souther California need water to transform their barren soil into fertile farmlands and tourist Meccas such as those existing elsewhere in the state. So far the problem has remained unsolved. But Sidney Cornell, a Los Angeles construction engineer, thinks he has a solution. He wants to construct a series of geyser-like power plants one mile apart to shoot water from the mouth of one into the funnel of the next, as depicteed here by MI artist Frank Tinsley. The water would arc over hilly sections, have a flat trajectory over plains. Its velocity would approach 400 mph. These stations-400 in all- would cost about $300,000 each."
