Famous Detectives (and their companions) + Favorite Colors

Sherlock Holmes: would never clutter up his brain attic with things like “favorite colors.”

Dr. Watson: distinguished Victorian gentlemen don’t engage in such childish things as favorite colors.

Poirot: prefers everything to be the proper color they’re supposed to be, thank you very much.

Hastings: probably hasn’t ever thought about it, or at least hasn’t since he was a young child. See: Dr. Watson.

Archie Goodwin: doesn’t really feel strongly about any color but does have very strong opinions on what colors look good on different women.

Nero Wolfe: it’s yellow :)

today's thrift finds. love how the rathbone-bruce vhs cover has holmes staring lovingly at watson. as it should be. also nabbed the first two books in the nero wolfe series, written by renowned author rex stout. renowned to me, of course, for being the guy who wrote the 'watson was a woman and married to holmes' article

I'm rather disappointed that this website did not ever adopt "the police shall receive no sandwiches" as a shorthand for ACAB

had the joy of drawing for @pregnant-javert again, fell a little bit in love with Nero and Archie in the process 💛

Mycroft and Wolfe share a very similar type of aggressively avoidant behavior and adherence to a strict schedule, but I feel like their motivations are different. And I really do say feel, because there's no explanation for either. But with Mycroft it genuinely seems like that's where he's comfortable. Beyond being introverted, he's probably been the most mature person in every room since the age of like eight, so he likely prefers not to have that pressure. But for Wolfe, I really feel like Something Happened, I just don't know what.
