This bit of off-topicness probably doesn't warrant its own post, so I'm shoving it in here. I recently found a mention of Bertie in an unexpected place. While reading "The Victorian Underworld", I came across this in the chapter on pornography:

"Flossie: A Venus of Fifteen" (1900) was said to be a work of Swinburne's old age. Though Swinburne corresponded with Carrington and privately wrote schoolboy flagellation epics, there is nothing in this novel that suggests his work. Flossie talks and acts like a female counterpart of P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster in a wold of energetic copulation. Despite the premise of her immaturity in the title, she sounds like Wooster's contemporary.

I looked up the book online. Flossie didn't actually seem all that Bertie-ish to me, but then I didn't read the whole thing, just skimmed it.




Trying a different perspective with this one. Does it actually appear like you're looking down on them for above, or just like I made their lower portions too small?



I had about 9 very subtly different variations of this picture (in terms of color), and it was agonizing trying to decide which to post. Still not sure I picked the best one.
