Maybe you remember Babette's team from her university in France, as seen way back here.

The sister Isabelle is talking about (Isette) appeared way more recently, cameoing here in Playground.
Both have the power to see the future, but Isette is way more unashamed when it comes to using them for gambling.

And speaking of family ties, it seems Babette has an idealistic attitude regarding the usage of technology for peaceful purposes, which is similar to her great-grandfather's...

Music recommendation for the left half of the lowest panel: Mars, the Bringer of War from Gustav Holst's The Planets.
Music recommendation for the right half of the lowest panel: Morning Mood from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.

Hey Babette darling, you forgot the most important use: Getting your kicks on a zeppelin pleasure dome travel.

That kind of "scientific research" seems more like Maggie Ashton's thing...

(Babette's more, uh... prudish attitude will in fact become evident a bit later on...)

Speaking of the trade-show, here is a very early stage of a sketch, showing Peter at the tradeshow while he realizes that Fred Astaire is an overrated clumsy amateur compared to his own dancing skills.

Watching Peter dance is probably, uh... quite memorable...

(But I like his "airship captain" outfit!)

Though I guess the people who once lived in that charred house might probably disagree...
