"One for all, and all for one!"

Today marks 125 years since the start of the newsboy strike against The World and The Journal! Here's my revamped version of the strike picture that I made last year!

Last year's version and which newsie is which under the cut 🗞🪧👞

Hiii! i rlly love your newsies art and i was wondering if you could do specs x romeo but romeo was caught by snyder instead of crutchie, so poor specs is sad

We're getting out of the refuge with this one, lads 😔🙏

[jack-whatsyourangle]

some proposals for places i would put an f-bomb in newsies if i could only have one:

"What, you mean like a strike?"/"Well, you heard Davey, we're on strike!"/"Fuck"

"I'll learn to make do with the mansion, the oil well, the diamonds, the yacht... with Andy, Eduardo the pontiff and Scott... and Frank... oh, and my fucking bank."

"Oh, c'mon, Katherine! Those boys are counting on you!... Oh, you poor fucking boys."

"And we found our voice!"/"And I lost my fucking shoe!"

"Write it in ink or in blood it's the same either way/They're gonna fucking pay"

literally any of jack's lines in watch what happens (reprise)

"...or cross the Brooklyn Bridge... hell, you can't even get out of your own fucking office."

"He's a fucking sellout!"

"I trust you know my daughter, Katherine."/"What the fuck?"

"My father has eyes on every corner of this fucking city! He doesn't need me spying for him."

"If you weren't going to Santa Fe..."/"Yeah, and if you weren't a fucking heiress."

"NEWSIES! WE FUCKING WON!"

At the lodging house, the newsies have a system—each of them cuts a small slit in the side of their mattress to stash away their few prized possessions. They may spend most of their time swiping and hiding each other’s stuff just for the fun of it, but there’s an unspoken rule: if it’s tucked away in a mattress, it’s off-limits. That’s where Jack keeps Michael’s bandana on the rare occasions he’s seen without it, safely hidden away. Everyone knows better than to mess with it—some things just aren’t for playing around.

I’d love to hear some interaction if you have ideas for what your favorite Newsies keeps in his bed!

Exploring background manhattan newsie looks!! I want to give them all a cohesive colour scheme and all slightly different outfits, also more variety in ages, lengths and nationalities. Also they're just so fun to draw
