Hi guys

Was listening to your latest podcast about how Dr Manhattan created his version of an garden of Eden on Europa, and that Mr Phillips and Ms Crookshanks are his Adam and Eve. Got me thinking of the Tomato tree, when tomatoes were first bought back to Europe in the 1700s they soon got a reputation of being poisonous, as aristocrats got sick and died after eating them, it is now known that tomato juices reacted with the pewter plates, which wealthy Europeans used to serve them, were high in lead content. The Tomato was nicknamed “The Poison Apple”.

Do you think this is significant to the storyline or just a coincidence?

Also do you think that Vieldt sees himself as the “snake” in this Garden o Eden as he keeps offering the Game Keeper tomatoes?

Yours Sincerely
Butlertoll
