Working on Rene in the art style of “Les grandes grandes vacances/The Long Long Holiday”

It’s a cute French cartoon about kids in occupied France in the war

I thought since they both take place in occupied France that I would kinda do a crossover thing where I drew Rene in that art style

Tbh, I cannot watch anything set in ww2 occupied France WITHOUT thinking about Allo Allo 😂

I highly recommend that cartoon it’s on Prime btw.

I’m sure most of y’all have seen that show but I’ll include style examples anyway

'Allo 'Allo Season 1, Episode 3: Savile Row To The Rescue

[demonicconsultingwhovian]

just watched season 3 episode 5 of 'Allo 'Allo! and one of the British Airmens fake names was Gigi. My nickname. I'm an 'Allo 'Allo! character confirmed!

[kmp78]

I don't understand why he would he have those trashies on the yacht if he knew Thingy was going to be there in a few days. I bet she has no clue they were there. Let's hope she doesn't find some leftover underwear lying around his cabin 🤣

Oh he would bust out a classic Rene Artois excuse... 😂

"Youuuuu stuuupid wooooman! Don't you get it?! There are big rats on this yacht and we were using this bra to set up a trap!" 🤷‍♂️

(For those who don't know who Rene Artois is: watch the classic TV show 'Allo 'Allo. You won't be disappointed... 😂👌)

[master-of-the-opera-house]

thanks for the tag this is so fun and dire bc im actually jared 19

Last book I read: Hamlet by William Shakespeare ((I think?? trying to go off my last theatre class here))

Book I recommend: I think everyone's read it but if they haven't The Great Gatsby by F Scott. Fitzgerald.

Book I couldn't put down: Oh baby, executive dysfunction has made me put every book down..... K Blows Top: A Cold War Comic Interlude, Starring Nikita Khrushchev, America's Most Unlikely Tourist by Peter Carlson took me the shortest amount of time ((4 months??)) to finish recently.

A book on my TBR: Mad King: The Life and Times of Ludwig II of Bavaria by Greg King bc he wrote another historical biography that I really, really liked about a similarly misunderstood person ((with Sue Woolmans)) ((hehe)) and I trust him to handle my dear lad with grace, but because my attention span is a bitch I never got past the first 40 pages but I WILL. one day.,,,,,,,,

A book I've put down: HITLER AND THE HABSBURGS BY JAMES LONGO!!1! Sorry not sorry but SOD that son of a cunt NO footnotes so half the things he said could've been made up for all I care bUT THE LAST STRAW was him PERVING OVER poor sophie von hohenberg when she was ON HER WAY TO CONFRONT THE NAZIS like piss offfffffff

A book on my wishlist: BBC Ghosts Button House Archives *finger guns* ooh and 'Allo 'Allo!: The War Diaries of Rene Artois

A favourite book from childhood: I don't remember a favourite bc I was actually a voracious reader once upon a time so I tore through them like it was nothing but The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo destroyed me even if I am now morally opposed to the fundamental idea framing the narrative that rats arent cute little besties

A book you would give to a friend: Harry Clarke: An Imaginative Genius in Illustrations and Stained-Glass Arts by Hiroshi Umino bc I LOVE Harry Clarke's work and I think everyone should have a nice book full of pretty pictures to look at. It's also technically on my wishlist as well

A book of poetry/lyrics you own: I don't "own" any "books" bc im flat broke but a favourite would be that compilation of Oscar Wilde's nonsense quotations. I know he did real poetry but that's poetry in itself to me.

A non-fiction book you own: Stalin's Daughter: The Extraordinary and Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva by Rosemary Sullivan :)))))) this i actually DO own!1!

Currently reading: *sweats nervously in executive dysfunction*

Planning on reading next: Florian: The Emperor's Stallion by Felix Saltern bc it's got my meow meow in it and it's a kids book and I want to practice focusing enough to read like a normal human person again

tagging @pqnnier @alliluyevas whom I know for sure have read a lot and anyone who wants to do it bc idk whos a reader and who isnt!

Thanks for the tag, @enlitment!

Last book I read: The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy. Charming!

Book I recommend: Impossible question. Show me your soul and then ask me again.

Book I couldn't put down: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Grabbed me by the throat and would not let go. Sublime.

A book on my TBR: Vicious and Immoral by John Gilbert McCurdy is right up there; it looks fascinating and relevant to my research.

A book I've put down: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Surprising that I got as far as I did (the first 120 or so pages), since that could all have been covered in a two-page prologue.

A book on my wishlist: At some point I also need to drop €60 (🥲) on André Weibel's »Einen Spiegel hast gefunden, der in allem Dich reflectirt«.

A book on my wishlist: The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. Unquestioned reigning champion of being read approx one million times.

A book you would give to a friend: Anything by David Mitchell or Scarlett Thomas, depending on the friend.

A book of poetry/lyrics you own: The Loeb Greek Lyric: Anacreon, Anacreontea & Early Choral Lyric. Bangers on every page. Very gay.

A non-fiction book you own: Tom Cutterham's Gentlemen Revolutionaries is well worth a read for anyone interested in late 18th century masculinity and culture.

Currently reading: Temeraire by Naomi Novik. An old favourite that I'm discovering brand new joy in.

Planning on reading next: I have almost no time for fiction in between academic reading and writing and work, but These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever has been waiting very patiently on my nightstand.

Tagging @permanenthistorydamage @iron--and--blood @nordleuchten @ouiouixmonami @clove-pinks and you!

René Artois: It was I who died for France. I do not mean to die for France twice. Not in the same year.

[miholjskoljeto]

Think of the life I would have to lead, blowing up bridges and trains, dodging bullets, sleeping in hedges, living in ditches. This is no life for a coward. Especially one with a good business.

"Okay you have ADHD about as much as your boyfriend is an introvert so. 🙄😂" maybe she hopes HE has ADHD and that's why he doesn't remember her 😭

I can see him selling that "Rene Artois"-esque excuse to her... 😂👍

Allo Allo v Hi de Hi

Allo Allo 191 all out

Hi de Hi 192 - 3

Pugh 97

Hi de Hi win by 7 wickets.

Allo Allo v Hi de Hi

Allo Allo v Hi de Hi

In the first match of the Owzthat 2020 Sitcom Cup the Hi de Hi team led by Jeffrey Fairbrother arrived at the square in front of Rene’s cafe as underdogs. On his home ground Artois regularly scores well and the conditions were very much in his favour. It seemed that things were going to follow form when Rene and his opening partner Monsieur Le Clerc began taking control of Hi de Hi’s pace pair of Spike Dixon and Fred Quilley moving swiftly onto 39, even the bizarre wicket of Artois being stumped by Ted Bovis off Dixon when a rolled up painting fell from under his jumper and in the confusion of picking it up he tripped over a string of suspicious sausages that had been hidden behind his right pad failed to slow the momentum. The introduction of Von Smallhausen saw the pace accelerate and move Allo Allo past 50 within four overs.

Dixon struggled to make any real impact at his end but Quilley began to have success bringing to an end Monsiuer Le Clerc and then a promising start from Madame Edith. Wicket Keeper Maria Recommier appeared to have steadied the ship and there were signs of a sustained recovery but the fall of Von Smallhausen again to the hardworking Quilley saw any hopes of completing the twenty overs fade away.

A dazzling spell of spin from Marty Storm ripped the tail apart before Sylvia Garnsey wrapped up the Allo Allo innings for 191.

In reply Hi de Hi looked very nervous and Fairbrother’s early wicket, which looked almost inevitable was followed by a disappointing innings by Bovis who looked jaded from his heroics behind the stumps. However amongst this early chaos Gladys Pugh, standing out like a daffodil in a motorway verge gave a magnificent batting display which deserved the century she fell three runs short of. As well as she batted she was given little to worry about with the wayward Crabtree dishing up scoring deliveries with regularity and not pissing the bat once. A promising cameo from spinner Herr Flick was too little too late, his limp off the pitch at the end of the match suggesting he wasn’t fully fit, but even fully fit he would have struggled to contain the imperious Pugh who will probably be disappointed that her impatience to reach the milestone led her to play for a maximum that wasn’t really there.

Hi de Hi will take a great deal of optimism from this performance, though they won’t come across a more accommodating bowling attack than this as they go further into the competition.

Now they can plot against the general together once more.

Rest in Peace Gordon Kaye. 1941 - 2017.
