Thanks, Dave! I don't think I could manage a whole Cyrano, but I love to pick little apocryphal bits out of it! :-D

I'm glad you don't mind the quick-draw style. I just got banned from contributing to an anthology because I wouldn't submit something as worked-up as Vern and Lettuce. But it wasn't paying anything and one V&L page takes me something like four days to put together. So this is all I can manage while I'm working full-time. But it feels better than not doing comics.

Zut alors! My French is SO rubbish. Thanks for helping me out there!

Hee hee... the nuns in the film are pretty flirty, too. Marthe's actually being fairly level-headed here in comparison!

Thanks SO much for the catch! Wow, I really rushed this one. (Glad you like it anyway.) :-)

Thanks! No, I haven't read it. I'll have to look into that!

Hurrah!

Thanks, Will! About your Cyrano drawing... I am quietly turning blue, don't mind me. ;-)

Yeah, I don't have very fond memories of Roxanne, but everyone keeps telling me to go watch it. I have a big stack of videos right by my chair that need watching, I think I'll hit a few more of the Miyazaki animations before I get around to Roxanne.

Thanks, Andrew! Hmm, I would call Calvin & Hobbes, well, not exactly glossily rendered, but definitely spot-on! He's put a lot of thought into his compositions and colour placement, and I can rarely spot a stray line. But it doesn't look heavy or forced, you're right about that.

It was funny, at the Kunioyoshi exhibition, spotting a major compositional error in one of the woodcuts. They're so painstakingly carved that you'd think it couldn't happen, but even there, it did. (It's a scene with some fisherman, where the fisherman's head exactly hits the horizon line in a way it really shouldn't. It looks like something went in as a kind of afterthought.) That said, the different elements of the picture were still very beautiful.

Aw, thanks for that!

Thanks, James! Well, quick in that I finished it a few hours ago! But it's still lurking in the back of mind, I'm desperately trying to vanquish it while I'm doing my other work. Argh.

Ooo, there's a roast skewered rat in the film! That'll have to go in somewhere.

Thanks!

Thanks, I hope so!

Yay! I even just like saying the title. I butcher the French 'r', but I get to do it so many times in CyRRRano de BeRRgeRRac. RRRRRRawr!

Ha ha, tumbleweed fly! That's a good one, you're right.

... That said, I spent a few seconds looking back over the comic, trying to discover if it was some sort of period-piece novelty trouser attachment I didn't know I'd drawn.
