Jeeves with a mustache?

[derien.livejournal.com]

The picture of the cover of "Code of The Woosters" on Amazon features a rather red-faced, older Jeeves with a mustache!  Seems highly unlikely given how he seems to detest them on Bertie.  One wonders if Jeeves has had his own mustache fiascos which turned him against facial hair.  Some woman threw herself at him because his mustache was far too attractive...?

*L* I know. I have the one with that book cover and had to wonder about the same thing when I saw it.

... though admittedly I didn't make the connexion to girls flinging themselves at him. *gives you points for that*

Hey, I can never pass up an opportunity to incite fic.:)

I do with the coloiurs weren't son contrasting or that I didn't hate using non black or white fonts in icons. But.. well, whee. I feel better now.

*L*!!!! Ain't it true! Love the sentiment on the second one.

There are also so many weird versions of Bertie on book covers, such as Monocle!Bertie and RedFaced!Bertie. Grrr. Make them stop.

*grin!* That's good. :)

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

Ahaha so true

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

I just pretend Monocled!Bertie is actually Psmith

[peak-in-darien.livejournal.com]

Haha! Now THERE'S a stroke of genius.
Maybe I should pretend Monocled!Bertie is Jeeves...

Try putting the letters in one color and outlining them in the other color. Works like a charm ^^

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Monocle!Bertie?

*is intrigued*

I'm amused by the resemblance that cover has to pulp novel covers.

I'm amused by the resemblance that cover has to pulp novel covers.

Like the stance of the characters on a cover of a pulp romance? The way the taller Jeeves is sort of behind Bertie with the implication that he might wrap an arm around him, and Bertie looking up at him....?

Some time ago I went image-searching for lesbian pulp covers on the net, since, well, they're neat. As I'm not otherwise very familiar with pulp covers, that's what that reminded me of. So yes, in other words! LESBIAN pulp romances! Which is even more amusing, really.

Like this (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0140284028.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)!

Oh, that faux-lesbian for guys type of pulp. Actually, that really IS funny, seeing as slash is faux-gay for women pulp.

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

You couldn't be more right.

I want to read the lesbian pulp, though. A lot of it, I've been led to understand, was written by women for women - stories of tragic love opposed by cruel social rules. With the obvious exceptions. Ranging from this (http://www.datalounge.net/sections/lha/exhibits/pulp1.jpg) to this (http://www.afterstonewallbooks.com/queerpulpwmn.jpg). And I just finished a pulp-like gay detective novel that wasn't for women or faux... For one, there was no romance!

Monocled!Jeeves??

*tries to imagine*

Would you reccomend it?

*is scared*
Perhaps I should shut my imagination up. :D

In one short story by Wodehouse, a portrait of Bertie is painted and he mentions that it shows him wearing a monocle. This led some readers to think that Bertie is supposed to always wear a monocle, and led to the big MONOCLE? debate...

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Only Wodehouse fandom would have a monocle debate.

[peak-in-darien.livejournal.com]

Hee. One must bask in the shameful nerdiness of it all.

[peak-in-darien.livejournal.com]

I just realised how slashy that cover is.
Scary. In a good way.
