illustrations

I'm an illustrations whore. I love the old line drawings, like in the Holmes books, and I'm madly in love with the fact that "Mike" has them, too. This, I think, is probably the best picture of Psmith - the angle of his head so you can see the narrow shape of his face, and you can just barely see the monocle in the other eye, and he's got the papers there under his elbow. :) edited to add: What age is he supposed to be? Given that Mike started school a year late, Psmith might actually be a year younger, so maybe 16 or 17... pushing 35. :)

I do love that picture. :) I know I've said it before, but Psmith is TEH PSEX. just. LEGS. *swoon* And he is just so hilariously well-dressed.

But what is up with that thing on Mike's head? Ow.

(and then they had sex!1!)

It's a school cap - a sort of beanie in the school colors. He's got one on in almost every picture where you can see the back of his head. In "Mike" there's a mention, I think after he'd run from the teacher at night, that the teacher noticed the guy he was chasing wasn't wearing a school cap - so he'd looked, hoping to determine that it was a student.

Yeah, I know. But it is teh ugly! Poor Mike. -- 'S probably more poor Psmith, actually, 'cos he's the one as has to look at it.

All the more reason for them to toss off everything and get down to it

Toss off. Heh heh.
