Newsies 1992 Crutchie

[racetrackmybeloved]

thinking about how much pain crutchy must be in

like. his crutch is clearly too short for him. did he get it before hitting his growth spurt and now can't afford a taller one? is he waiting until he grows even more so that he doesn't have to keep on buying new ones? bending over sideways like that constantly must hurt him SO much.

and combine that with carrying stacks of papers all day? the other kids can transfer their papers to their other arm when they start to get tired, but he can't.

someone give crutchy a back massage please and thank you

sidenote: i wrote 'someone get that boy an ibuprofen' as a stupid tag and then thought hm did ibuprofen exist yet and no it did not (until the 1960s)! paracetemol didn't appear commercially in the US until 1950. production of aspirin started in 1899, and it was advertised and distributed to doctors and hospitals at this point, but was not available to the public without a prescription until 1915.

HOWEVER newsboys did sometimes go to hospitals - in 1897 a newsboy named john kelly staying at the duane st lodging house had a sore throat, and the superintendent sent him to the hudson street hospital. and in 1900, after a fight between two newsboys led to one of them stabbing the other in the neck, the injured boy was sent to the hospital (he was apparently fine). that was a very long winded way of saying that it IS feasible for crutchy to have gone to a doctor and gotten a prescription.

so yeah maybe our boy crutchy was actually taking aspirin !

Day Three of Crutchie Supremacy!

Happy Day Three! We are celebrating today with an incorrect quotes!

davey, sprinting into the room: CRUTCHIE CRUTCHIE

crutchie, nearly falling off of his bed in surprise: WHAT

davey, stopping right in front of him: JACK LIKES ME BACK. HE LIKES LIKES ME TOO

crutchie:

crutchie, over this shit: you come into MY room, screaming at ME, for THIS BULLSHIT. ARE YOU STUPID, MAN? WE ALREADY KNEW THAT. I TOLD YOU THAT. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU-

[fansiesmemes]

Crutchie: There’s a thin line between being a genius and being a fucking idiot

Crutchie: Race uses that line as a skipping rope

Random Details in the Newsboys' Lodging House

@thatoneandlonelyemo2005 this one's for you :)

This isn't technically the lodging house, but look! An advertisement outside of what one can only assume is a bookstore for 10 cent novels right outside the lodging house. Is this perhaps where Jack bought (or stole) his cowboy comic?

Specs is not only sleeping in the most unnatural looking position known to man, but he is also exhibiting serial killer behavior by sleeping with his glasses on.

There are four milk bottles (and two darker bottles) lined up on the floor behind Kloppman in this picture. Imagine, if you will, Kloppman going out of his way to make sure his boys have milk to drink and then try not to cry about it.

My beautiful child boots is sleeping with his boots.

In the shot above you can really get a sense of all of the drawings, prints, clippings, and postcards that cover the walls of the bunk room. In Newsies UK, Jack's 'penthouse' is decorated in a similar fashion (the above picture doesn't quite do it justice but I'm not sure if I am at liberty of sharing boot screenshots.) It's really cool to see, whether intentional or not.

I also wonder whether these drawings and pictures decorating the lodging house walls might have inspired the musical in making Jack an artist?

Crutchy's hat is on Jack's bunk. Theory one: Jack and Crutchy are best friends/brothers and trust each other with their belongings. Theory two: Jack and Crutchy are best friends/brothers and Jack stole Crutchy's hat like siblings do.

Above you can see more drawings/pictures as well as the monopoly that Racetrack and Snipeshooter have on cups and drinking water. These are prime location bunks. If you wake up in the middle of the night and need a cup of water, you have to do through them (+ possibly Blink and Snipe's bunkmate who doesn't know how to wear socks).

More drawings and yup that is Mr. Rough Rider Roosevelt himself. Aka more proof that Francis Sullivan Jack Kelly is Teddy's biggest fan.

Bless these poor boys who don't know how to make their beds. Once again you can see more drawings and pictures tacked around the room. There's also a desk and chairs under the window with an oil lamp.
