THE BLUE CARBUNCLE part 3 - part 1 - part 2 - with one more to come! MR. HOLMES it is very difficult to conceal injures from a trained doctor (who happens to be obsessed with you)!!

also just wanted to say - I'm so sorry to all the folks who couldn't get copies of Volume 1 of the Sketchbook - I'm working on a much larger print run and a pre order system so everyone can get one :) your support truly means the world to me, stay tuned!

CHRISTMAS EVE, 1890 - part 3 - part 1 - part 2 - bit of a cliffhanger on this one - Watson's Sketchbook will return with THE BLUE CARBUNCLE!

(this is the Watson's Sketchbook series!)

THE DYING DETECTIVE - part 3 - part 1 - part 2 - "to the last gasp he would always be the master" - there is at least one panel that made me laugh while drawing it so I hope it makes you laugh, too. It's the least I could do.

This will most likely be the last update for a few weeks - going to England on a trip (where Sherlock Holmes lives!!! omg!) - when I return it will be for a cozy early Christmas special, THE BLUE CARBUNCLE.

(This is in the Watsons sketchbook series!)

Holmes is a bit on edge in ‘The Final Problem’ and briefly takes refuge in Watson’s kitchen.  Being chased by assassins will do that to a man.

Guys listen up I have a banger concept:

TV show (called "The Hiatus" or something like that), set in the late 19th century. It starts with us meeting the Mysterious Enigmatic MC, who's traveling through Europe, obviously on the run from someone or something. Every episode starts with him arriving in a new town under a brand new alias in hopes to quietly spend a couple of nights there, but then he accidentally encounters some random person (usually a child or a woman who's been wronged somehow) in a difficult situation and can't help but help them. He doesn't actually want to even briefly speak to anyone, he's all Mysterious and Enigmatic and secretive and EcCeNtRiC and On The Run and very obviously in huge distress but somehow he just always can't leave a situation as it is (and also visibly very curious to resolve it). The people he helped are usually amazed by how clever and observant and also Mysterious and Enigmatic he is and want to get to know him better, but after helping them he always has to leave the town even earlier and more hastily than he planned to.

As the show progresses we gradually learn more of his backstory, including that there's this Certain Person that our Mysterious Enigmatic MC had to leave and now misses dearly and can't contact, (and the more time passes, the harder it gets for him to stop himself from writing to him).

Only about halfway through the show, after N episodes and some amount of increasingly obvious hints it's finally officially revealed that our Mysterious Enigmatic MC is post-Reichenbach Sherlock Holmes.

The very last episode is, obviously, The Empty House.

oh I tripped I fell I don’t know how this happened

When they make Sherlock Holmes and Irene Norton née Adler have sexual tension I get so angry that steam comes out of my ears. First of all that woman has a lovely husband whom she risked her well-being and outsmarted royalty for. Second of all, she’s like Lana Del Rey to Sherlock Holmes. He keeps a photo of her in the way stan twitter has screenshots of their fav artists. This is not a heterosexual dynamic.

we are back with THE FIVE ORANGE PIPS...Holmes bungles a case and picks a fight. At least they're talking about it, right? CW for drug use and needles.

(I know I said I was going on hiatus but cloudstrike nonsense made it impossible to go on my trip, then I got covid, so I have been sitting at home slowly drawing old men sniping at one another)

I SAW THIS AWESOME SIGN AT PRIDE TODAY :D

If you were at pride in south Germany today with this sign: say hello!! I need German sherlockian friends :D

Behold the seven deadly sins of Sherlock Holmes adaptations:

Having Holmes constantly wear the notorious deerstalker cap

Making Holmes into a sociopathic big-brain asshole

Portraying Watson as a bumbling idiot

Holmes and Irene having a romance thing going on for some reason. It's either that or making her evil

The villain always being Moriarty

Copaganda

"Elementary, my dear Watson"

Lemme know if I missed anything!

If I had a nickel for every time I listened to a silly little podcast about a guy named jo(h)n solving silly mysteries…

[mrbakersgoose]

He's an upholder of the law. He's also a law unto himself. In other words, he releases people and Scotland Yard says 'How could you do that?' He also loves children because I've wondered where his love is channeled. Because no one can be that unemotional. So whenever I can, I have the Irregulars around. I think Holmes loves children.
