So folks have been wondering if my term "skyclad" comes from the apparently common slang term for nudity.
Hmph. Not so much.
As you've probably already guessed, it's from the term "Ironclad", which was a new kind of armored ship around 1850 or so. Skyclad is just a corruption of it that just felt right. It's steampunkish even, which is something that I really wanted to demonstrate with this giant warship of the sky.
I just wanted to throw some of that flavor into the comic. I've had the term "Ironclads" on a postit note on my monitor now for a good couple of months, to remind me to use it.
You can continue to let "skyclad" remind you of being naked, if that's what you're into.
