Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie: TL:DR Britain is weird okay?

Wow, points for probably being one of the most interesting and hard to answer questions I’ve had to date, and yes, I know precisely what you mean. Probably shouldn’t be flattered that you get that from the comic too, but cheers all the same ;)
I’ve considered the fact myself a couple of…
Reblogging this because I had a few asks along the same lines recently.

I like all the colours ever, but I have a particular affinity for black and white.
Not that you’d ever have guessed it…


The year I spent at VFS was not only one of the most productive years of my life, but one of the happiest. Was it stressful? Yes. Was it fun? Yes. It will try and test you in a thousand areas that you didn’t expect. I was lucky enough to have one of the best classes ever and made friends with a group of insanely wonderful people, but even besides that- the school is nuts, the teachers are incredible, the lessons are invaluable. Leech every drop of information and experience you can out of every millisecond that you’re there because I guarantee than when it’s over you will weep bitter tears that you couldn’t stay another hour.

No, it would be a talky, as per most movies these days :) but Arthur is a silent movie character, so no, he wouldn’t talk.
You do hear him at one point, however.

Well, black and white is my absolute favourite colour combination, but the real reason is because I love Alice in Wonderland.
No I do not mean the Disney film, or the other one, or the Jan Svankmajer one or that other one with Martin Short as the hatter which is awesome and not enough people have seen or ANY of those. I mean the books. I love the books. I really really love the books and the language and illustrations and gosh, just the IDEAS in those stories. They were a huge part of my life as a child and they continue to inspire and affect me today, both as a person and as a story writer.
So, yes, that’s why. I also like Madness and a lot of Scar music too, and obviously I’m a sucker for the 1960’s and Op Art, so having those associations as a bonus is pretty neat.
Ironically I’ve never played checkers. I can play chess though (badly).
