I absolutely love this as a one off. I would love to see one between each series.

It all depends on the length of the main series! Due to production schedules, we have our artists rotate in six week sets. If the main series goes less than six weeks, we fill the remaining spots with a one-of (or two)!

I'll take what I can get! I certainly don't want to see the main series to get shorter. That would just mean cut content, and that's not how history works.

I love your videos, even if I know about the topic already, you always give such a broad coverage of a subject everyone can learn something new.

I am interested in paleontology, and I knew her when was 10 years old. Much respect to her....

MrBreaksIt

She will Mary Anne, she is Mary Anning, she has Mary Anned.

Yuval Bar

Well, i guess she shouldn't have read the king in yellow... :-D

Kathyrne

Men iz evil. Angry kitty face. *grrr* >-_-

I Think I must've been participating in a Barbaric Ritual Known as 'sleeping' when this was uploaded. Man, I love these Series.

This IS the Victorian Period they are talking about, bear in mind. People were a lot more Socially Conservative Back then, far more so than People are Today, I'm happy to say.

Edward James Lehar

Rejected Princesses did one on her! They're amazing, and worth a checkout.

I'm not that familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos, but I remember reading about that in an RPG book. Mind explaining the connection for folks like us?

Even the Tea Party would be bleeding-heart liberals in the Victorian era. Hm, that might make an interesting time travel story. Some extreme-right-wing nutjob goes back in time far enough that his ideas are perceived as radical, with some arguments between them that even normal right-leaning folks would think are ridiculous by modern standards...

Yuval Bar

One of the books had the yellow sign, a marking of one of the cthulhu mythos gods, there were also a couple of cultists and a cthulhu thingy, maybe a starborn in the episode as well

Michael Jebbett

Gee, a woman doing all the work and having men take all the credit for it? Never heard that one before! Nope, never.

Jane

Ive heard her story a few times before, but i always forget how much(often) Mary gets screwed.

It makes me very happy to hear that you learned about her while researching paleontology at such a young age!

ExtraCredits

King in Yellow predates Cthulhu, doesn't it? I thought Cthulhu mythos was partially inspired by the original King in Yellow story.

Yuval Bar
>>4814263

I think so as well, but it would probably be lost in time and space (see what i did there?) If it wasn't included into the mythos

Yeah my Mum works at the Sedgwick Museum in Cambridge (England) and there are a few displays and stuff about what she did and what she contributed.

People were socially conservative and Mary had the deck stacked against her in a lot of ways. She was poor, she was a woman, and she wasn't of the Anglican faith (which I didn't go into for this script; she did wind up converting later in life). And yet! She persisted.

I initially learned about her elsewhere, but I did find their piece on her while researching this episode! I'm very happy to see it got the attention it did. The more people who talk about Mary Anning, the better!

ExtraCredits
>>4818017

Yeah, but at least none of the men who stole her work got to be named to receive any credit in this episode. >:)

ExtraCredits
>>4818067

I'm glad you've heard it before, though! It's a bit of a consolation prize and I wish she could have known during her life that she would be celebrated, but at least as a society we are starting to do the work of recognizing and appreciating contributions like hers.

Did you see my Earlier Reply to your Comment in Early Access Delay thingy below?

Robert Rustad

Ironically, I knew about Mary from dinosaur books as a kid, but had no idea she inspired that rhyme.

Kenneth Huang

But what happened to the brother?

Well perhaps you could try putting it into Google or typing it into the address thingy. To Remind you the site is www.youtube.com/testtube. And that Concludes this Week's Lecture on my understanding of why some Internet Pages look different after you try to send a link to other People.

Awesome episode! There's something so funny and yet awe-inspiring about Mary's hunt for poop. Maybe it's Dan's voice, maybe it's the art...either way, great job on the one-off! I'm glad I could learn about another Mary who changed the world we live in :) Any reason why you went for the Broad Stree Pump music? I love it and it fits in a way. I just wasn't expecting it.

Martin Ockovsky

thank you very much for your beautiful work :)

He learned a trade and went on to a modestly successful career. He outlived Mary and had three children. :)

Our usual one-off music (Odds and Ends) is very peppy, so it didn't fit with the ending of this one. Odds and Ends will still be our default for one-off music, but we'll probably start re-using series music here and there where it seems fitting!
