Cow Creamer

I made a frivolous and absurd purchase the other day, and while it is unfortunately not silver (though quite possibly modern dutch), I figured you good chaps would get as much of a jolly from it as I did.

A long nose is a good nose, every Englishman knows that

I had the most strange and hilarious J&W dream just now.

It started with two letters. One was from Bertie, addressed to Jeeves. Started out as a normal "How are you?" letter, but then he got very excited about an idea for picking up dropped cufflinks with magnets and started going on about how he was going to patent the idea. (Um, okay Bertie!) The second letter was from Jeeves, to Bertie.

For some reason, Jeeves was valeting for Gussie Fink-Nottle in America. And for some reason, Gussie decided to take advantage of the American fascination with all things British and see just how far he could push the bounds of belief by explaining all kinds of obscure and bizarre British habits to his upper-crust American hosts. And by "explain" I mean "basically invent."

Thus, as Jeeves wrote to Bertie, "Mr. Fink-Nottle held the American company spellbound with sayings from the Drones Club such as 'A long nose is a good nose.' At one point, with my handkerchief stuck in his ear, he declared that all good Englishmen called such a 'ratigat' and, upon removing it, a cascade of ball bearings poured to the floor."

Despite the fact that filling your ear with ball bearings seems like a medically risky thing to try, this was accompanied by hysterical visuals.

Finally Gussie's increasingly crazy antics resulted in Jeeves getting roped into being on a competitive row boating crew, at which point he decided it was time to "return to England, where my heart is" or something like that.

My theory upon waking up was that Bertie and Jeeves were "experiencing a little temporary coolness" and Gussie agreed to help Bertie get Jeeves back, but who knows what my brain was thinking, really.

While reading some early Jeeves stories and how Bertie described his dependency on Jeeves, this came to mind and I had to draw it.
