Who fixed Little Chicago?

(1/9) > >>

Stiletto:
Cool, I just realized the board was back up!!! Yay!

I’ve been rereading the books in preparation for going to Chicago in April for Star wars Celebrations. :) In reading Proven Guilty, it occured to me that only Harry could have fixed the mistake in his model. Whoever fixed it had to 1) Know LC existed, 2) Know its inner workings, 3) Get through the threshold, 4) get through Harry’s wards, and 5) Not be seen by Bob. Only future Harry could have done all of the above, and warn Bob not to say too much about the intruder.

morriswalters:
You might find this similar thread interesting. Juxtaposition, Who fixed LC?  Welcome back.

Stiletto:
Thanks! :) Though not much discussion there of time traveling Harry.

Wizard Sibelis:
Harry, the Calvin and Hobbs book says it all for the creation behind it. The creator named Clavin after a 16th century theologian who believed in predestination and Hobbs was based upon his own house cat's personality, who would barrel into his legs when he came home(sound vaguely familiar that one? :) ) His view point from Calvin(being alive) vs others(doll) is not to denote a separate fantasy, but that reality is a perspective of the viewer. This reps the observers effect applied to TT, reality shifts based upon you knowledge or lack of it.
So Calvin and Hobbs represent Harry and Mister(also Bob?) and the comic is from Harry directly. It's the cluebat time travel was there, not who left it, but the hidden meaning behind what was left!

Snark Knight:
I think it would be a mistake to conclude future Harry is the only one who even could have. Mab doesn't do altruistic freebies, but she's plenty capable of getting through the wards and preventing Harry from blowing himself up if she had a utilitarian, Mab-centric reason for preserving him. Given WOJ that the resolution to PG was favourable to Mab, making sure he lived to get there was probably consistent enough with her rational self-interest to justify intervening.
