Brats is a 1930 Laurel and Hardy comedy short. The film was directed by James Parrott. Laurel and Hardy play dual roles as their own children.

It is Oliver Hardy’s birthday and I am keeping with my tradition of making some sort of Laurel and Hardy art today. Today he gets his own spotlight in this redraw of a unique piece of merchandise I recently bought.

On Etsy I found this inch-tall ceramic figurine labeled “Hardy Artiste.” I had no idea what it was but I needed it! Turns out it is called a fève (French for “bean”). These are meant to be baked in a king cake to celebrate the feast of the Epiphany, but many people just collect and display them. Almost any character you can think of exists as a fève!

…Which is why I rendered Herb as one (yes, the third image is NOT REAL, I just drew over a photo)

You know what, fuck it. Figure skating is now my favorite sport. Unless there's another one that will let a competitor dress up in a silly costume and do all these silly jumps and wiggles and fall on purpose, IN THE OLYMPICS, there's no contest

As a former figure skater I feel obliged to point out how technically difficult that little Chaplin patter would be. See the kind of speed he's getting up to and then immediately moving into that "walk" - sometimes without even a brake manoeuvre. The momentum you build up when moving at speed has to get released somewhere so stopping like that is usually an easy way to topple over (not on purpose). In the true spirit of Chaplin he is making very hard and potentially dangerous things look easy.

For anyone who might've been searching for who the skater is, @jay42 found out ! The athlete is Petr Barna, from the 1992 Winter Olympics
