"Wolf von Frankenstein"
Doodled this in the free space in my sketchbook literally right after watching SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.
One of those cases where a very specific image came to my head & I HAD to draw it.

It’s traditional in the drag community to base one’s look or persona off of old Hollywood icons, so why not Mr. Rathbone during his "romantic lead" era as the basis for Enby Adams' drag king look here?

A bonus to yesterday’s piece.
Why an incubus? Because let’s be real. As a pirate, Basil Rathbone TOTALLY served.
Was originally going to have him interacting with an Errol Flynn imp, hence the irritated expression, but then just chose not to. This is Lev’s time to shine.

So get this. I’m browsing through the Hellaverse sale, go to make dinner, & suddenly this image pops in my head of Basil Rathbone in CAPTAIN BLOOD as a Hellaverse character.

Originally from an old Warner Brothers gag reel, Basil Rathbone went through the costume tests like a pro & I respect him for it.

Because I love commemorating my latest actor fixations with cartoons of me turning into Dot Warner.

I have seen many comments on social media to the effect that the 2024 Paris Olympics have gone “woke”. I agree. Many sports are now mere shadows of what they were a few decades ago let alone the original Greek ideals. Gymnastics for example, the name of which is derived from the Greek gymnós meaning “naked”, nowadays involves competitors with their naughty bits covered up. How woke is that? And the boxers even wear gloves! They’ve all gone soft!

Another example is the fencing. I’m not an expert on this but I did watch quite a lot when I was younger – admittedly not on live TV, but in the form of film recordings. The modern Olympic version of fencing is boring compared with how it used to be. Here are two photographs that illustrate how fencing has gone woke.

For a start, just look at all the protective gear worn by the namby-pamby competitors on the left! And they don’t even use proper swords! It’s health and safety gone mad!

Also, where are the fancy costumes, the stone staircases to run up and down, the chandeliers to swing from, the elaborate hanging tapestries to climb, or the long banqueting tables covered in expensive items there to be trashed? Pathetic!

(P.S. Basil Rathbone (in the still on the right) was actually a seriously good fencer, twice British Army champion in fact, unlike his opponent in the picture Errol Flynn who was so useless that he was a danger to other members of the cast, including Rathbone.)

Dressed to Kill (1946), the last Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie. Vital evidence to a robbery is concealed in three music boxes. A lesser entry in the series but reasonably entertaining and it has a fine femme fatale.
