#on the case with holmes and watson

[holmesoldfellow]

1-6/14 of the books from the "On the Case with Holmes and Watson" children's comic book series by Murray Shaw, J. Cosson, and Sophie Rohrbach (published by Graphic Universe, 2010-2012)

Part three for THE SIGN OF THE FOUR, some bits I thought were funny, drawn as I write two more big narrative comics in this chapter!

(Part one) (part two)

(This is part of the Watsons sketchbook series!)

I really feel like one of the best details in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that I never see people fixate on enough is that the story starts with Watson stopping in to see Holmes at Baker Street on a complete whim, because he happens to see that he’s home (and Watson is now married and living elsewhere). Like he doesn’t send word first, he’s not invited, he just shows up and surprises Holmes. Which is not that weird but then Holmes is like “oh good, I’ve got a case anyway, you might as well hang out!” which just makes it funnier when the King shows up and is like “I’d really rather speak to you alone, actually” and Watson tries to leave and Holmes is just like “anything you can say to me, you can say to my best friend John Watson, and if you ask him to leave, I would consider it a grave insult, you would be my enemy and I will not help you ever!!” And the king is like “…ok” and just moves on.

like, that is crazy behavior. Holmes is talking about how there’s probably lots of money in this case, and then almost turns away the client for…not knowing who the fuck Watson is?? He’s not even supposed to be there?? He just came to say hi?? “It is both or none”… girl, GET UP.

Shane and Ryan kind of have a bit of Sherlock and John energy I think

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Something something Sherlock and John not having a conventional relationship and not conforming to the social structures of British male friendships. Something something John telling Sherlock he doesn’t have to use the stereotypically affection-avoidant masculine insults commonly associated with “normal” male relationships. Something something Sherlock and John being comfortable with expressions of affection. SOMETHING SOMETHING SHERLOCK AND-

Holmes you aren't exactly beating the allegations™ here...

This monologue oh god

[gilgamushroom]

Ok catching up with letters from watson and blanched soldier makes so many of watson's narratives SO hilarious in retrospect líke

Watson's POV: So yeah! I'm always loyal to Holmes even though he doesn't care about me that much :/ but it's alright cause he has a High Intellect and therefore no room for human emotions. Honestly half of the time I'm not even able to keep up with him it's a wonder he sticks with me but I suppose it's part of his habits as a Genius. One time I was briefly sure he had feelings and it made my entire year

Holmes's POV, right off the bat: So I'm recording this case and today I learnt that writing is so hard? Watson is SO good at keeping the public interested. He's so good at so many things. He's smart and incredible and delightful and the ideal helpmate and he's too humble to ever talk about this!! >:( He's my old friend btw. And Biographer. One time he got married AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE IN THE RAIN O SO CRUELY AND SELFISHLY but i forgive him because that's literally the only bad thing he has ever done in his entire life <3 I miss him so much when he's not here :(( Have I mentioned he's my friend? Where was I going with this. Oh yeah. Case.

If I had a nickel for every time Martin Freeman played the role of a character writing down the adventures with his homoerotic best friend, I'd have two. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Please enjoy these very scientific reconstructions of how Sherlock Holmes may have stuck his feet up on the mantlepiece in 'A Case of Identity'

Thinking about…John and Sherlock…flying out of a window…hand in hand…hovering over the great city of London…gently removing the roofs… peeping in at the queer things which are going on…

John Watson

from the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle (1887-1927)

[sherlock-is-ace]

For a character that is not trying to be an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, Benoit Blanc is the best modern Holmes.

They both hate rich people, don't deal well with men in power, have a soft spot for women who have been taken advantage of, useless with simple and silly things, get depressed when they don't have a case, gay.
