Lackadaisy Sophistry has to be one of the most significant short comics Tracy has ever done for the impact it had on the fandom. Not only did it show us Mordecai in a casual setting - Mordecai with a genuine smile, no less - but it also showed us what would happen when somebody actually entertains, vibes with Rocky and his crazy, convoluted anecdotes. I don't believe I've seen so much chemistry between two characters in the entire comic than on that one page alone, and it singlehandedly made a lot of people go 'Yeah, okay, Hellerby might be kinda neat.'

Thank you Tracy.

This took a little while to finish, but I like it, and I think it was worth it. Hope you enjoy! :3

I liked the idea of Rose, as an adult, showing Mordecai her drawing, just like she did in "Critique", except this time, she's a MUCH better artist.

Just a slight improvement from the last time he'd seen her.

I got inspired by vintage valentine's day postcards

Mordecai and fashion trends

I only realised when I saw this frame that Mordecai wears a detachable collar

The 1920s were the decade men began to shift to attached collars which are the norm today (see video below at 9:37). Though they where still available, especially by the end of the decade, it was generally only older men or the wealthiest who would be seen wearing them

Its interesting Mordecai chooses the more conservative fashion despite being 28 at the time of the main comic which occurs in 1927.

Could be a nod to his more formal buttoned down nature

Or it could be because, when he first arrived in St Louis, Atlas provided him with his own second hand clothes, and as an older man his shirts were likely this style

So thats what Mordecai got accustomed too, even when Mitzi arranged for new ones that actually fit his slimmer build

Or maybe he just finds it easier for laundering blood stains to be able to change the collar and not the whole shirt ;)

Also worth noting that Mordecai's dapper fashion sense does not stick entirely to the older school, as his trousers are much slimmer in "Inegnue" set in 1921, six years earlier than the main series in 1927, where the pilot episode shows he has started wearing much wider ones

This reflects another trend in the middle of the decade where trousers began to shift from the slender "drainpipe" style of the Victorian/Edwardian era and began expanding , a trend started by rebellious students at Oxford University with "Oxford Bags", though most (and certainly Mr Heller) avoided the more extreme bagginess of many of those

As well as being wider this was when they began to introduce pleats to provide more room for the thighs

Mordecai seems to have been on top of this fairly new fashion trend fairly early, including it in the matching suits for himself and Viktor for the 1926 New Years party

It is always interesting to note these fun details in the evolution of mens fashion in any history inspired series, expecially one set in the dapper 1920s!
