Captain comedy connections

I’ve always said that the way I feel about the Captain, and the reason he was my instant favourite, is this: it’s like walking into a party and seeing someone you know. The ‘blustering but ineffectual authority figure’ is a really recognisable comedy staple. Just him being there positions Ghosts in a long line of classic British sitcoms. And then they flipped that archetype by giving him a relatable inner conflict and all his funny little idiosyncrasies, all those hints at the real person buried beneath the persona ♡ Anyway, none of these characters are identical to Captain, but I think he certainly shares some of their DNA and I just felt like gathering them together

(You talk like that too it is catching)

Upcoming animation: Molesworth (Lupus Studios)

UH OH really good animation alert!!!

I saw a teaser for this in Animation Magazine, and I looked it up - I’m getting serious Mary Poppins Returns vibes here, even though it’s a different studio. Ronald Searle’s art style works very well for animation. I’m excited to see this, but it’s a small British studio working on it, so we probably won’t see it for a while.

You can watch it here if you’re curious: MOLESWORTH Teaser

While I'm searleposting I gotta say this is one of my all time favourite molesworth gags. This image+caption is presented in the book with absolutely zero additional context and it only hits harder as a result.
