aha--he *was* an alchemist! no wonder he was depressed... that sort of explains the connection to helium, but i'm wondering if he made some kind of discovery about that element, its properties or something.
thanks for doing the legwork! i was thinking about it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. fascinating stuff. i love that he was an anarchist. (anarchist...alchemist...what's the diff? lol)
i love the little kid's accent in the toon with his kids--and that he calls him "herr strindberg." i wonder if the kids in that toon correspond to strindberg's actual kids.
