Medieval cats from The Aberdeen Bestiary, circa 1200.

It’s super-fascinating because, while the faces don’t seem particularly feline to me, these are *clearly* drawn from actual observation - look at those classic kitty postures!

Herman the Coast Guard Cat

The WWII Coast Guard at the port of Baltimore decided they needed a mouser aboard their navy vessel, and soon found Herman, known as an “expert mouser” and hired him to keep the ship free of mice and rats. Herman then officially became a member of the U.S. Armed Forces at eight months old. “It is a good thing to get rid of rats in general,” Col. Richard P. Strong, Medical Corps, United States…

I get the idea, but I still think it’s kind of messed up to keep him stuffed instead of giving him a proper burial!🦅

Mitzi's costume design for "Ingenue", and some of the ~1919-1921 catalog fashions that inspired it. Everything is always in transition fashion-wise, but it's interesting to see the very defining rectangular shape of the 1920s start to emerge from post-Edwardian/WWI era style. (The contrast in how comparatively modern things looked by the latter part of the 20s is pretty striking.) Design by me and L. Frostad, who did the finalized character sheet! ------------------------

Lots of character designs, extras, and other behind the scenes stuff are on the Lackadaisy Patreon!

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

Mrs. Chippy - Antarctic Explorer Cat

At this point, we all know about Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic expeditions, right? Did you also know there was a VIK (very important kitty) aboard the Endurance? In 1915, Shackleton and his crew set sail to Antarctica. One of the crewmembers, Scottish shipwright and carpenter Harry ‘Chippy’ McNish (chippy being a colloquial British term for a carpenter), brought his cat with him. Chippy…

A question about Ivy: What 1920's fashion is her casual clothing from the pilot inspired by?

I've been wondering for a while, since I can't seem to find anything other than dresses when I look up 1920s fashion.

The knickerbockers, knee-socks, and cap were pretty standard boys' and mens' fashion at the time.

It wasn't entirely uncommon for girls and women to wear similar clothing for outdoorsy or athletic purposes too, though. Or if they just felt like it..
