As my workload begins to ease a trifle, I'll try to get back to the ol' sketchbook and, consequently, the ol' posting semi-regularly on the blog. One thing that has helped me stay sane in the past couple of months is my current obsession with reading the complete works of P.G. Wodehouse, Suuuuuper Genius. The latest was Heavy Weather, and it did not disappoint. So here's a rather quick sketch of Lord Emsworth and his prized pig, Empress of Blandings.
If you need to be further convinced of the greatness of Wodehouse, let me point you to my Favorite Blog Written by a Little Stuffed Bull. Bully's regular posts are also genius, by the by.
It's a fact. Take this beautiful upward view of Ivebeenreadinglately blogger Levi's supreme collection of Overlook Wodehouse hardbacks. Right ho, indeed. It's always a pleasure to behold people's bookshelves, but sometimes bookshelves can make you beam with delight and pride. Cheers, Levi. A few more Wodehouses and that L clunker on the end will be pushed off left toward the horizon. And it will be nothing but hijinks and snickers for this entire shelf. We here at the Overlook Press salute readers attempts to have beautiful, edifying bookspaces in their apartment. Our elves are already hard at work at the next few Wodehouse titles. Sam the Sudden and Big Money are due in November, Plum Pie and The Girl on the Boat will be in stores March 2008. Start getting your bookshelves ready today.
Our friend from Book Expo Bully has been reading a Wodehouse title a week for the past 7 weeks. Right ho! This week it's Quick Service. Check out Bully's review. Which got us to thinking: what Wodehouse books are you reading this summer? Drop us a line. Photos of you reading Overlook editions of Wodehouse titles could possibly net you some of the new (and as of yet unavailable) Overlook hardcovers. They are as handsome as our pal Bully. Carry on!
Why thank you! And that's a beautiful sketch--you've captured wonderfully their personalities in both their expressions.
Have you ever seen the "Jeeves & Wooster" series the BBC did? They're absolutely hilarious.
Thank you very much indeed, Bully!
Abigail, I think House makes an excellent Bertie, but, although i do love him, I felt Fry was a tad young for Jeeves. But as good as they are, there is no comparison comedy-wise for reading the stories. Every sentence is funny.
