Random drawing idea that came to mind last week, purely based on the fact that "butter" and "butLer" are only one letter apart. So... instead of peanut butter, you get a peanut butler.

Drew this guy last night, then got around to inking and scanning him just now.

And whoops, turns out he's the "if somebody got murdered in the big fancy mansion, the butler did it" kind of butler. 😅

#drawings #pen #pencil #silly #peanut #butler #PEANUT BUTLER #the butler did it #by “it” I mean the murders of course... he probably didn't do EVERYTHING #unless it was murder-adjacent #or job-related... buttling... butlery and such #evil butler #funny thing about the “butler did it” trope... we don't actually know where it originated!#the oldest references to it are... talking about how overdone it is to have the butler be the villain #but we have no records of evil butlers before that point so whatever stories did it first must have been lost
