Bedtime sketch of the Holmes brothers in which Sherlock and Mycroft look like themselves, but also like Biney Moser and Agent Phil Coulson! Let me know if there’s anything else y’all would like me to draw!
And just as I got to the point of describing how clearly strained they were in making the show scream WE ARE A FRESH AND INTERESTING TAKE ON SHERLOCK HOLMES, my dad replied “Like that Sherlock Holmes movie set in mid-1970s New York with a black actor as Holmes?”
There was a long pause and he told me that it wasn’t a real movie. I was upset, because I would watch the shit out of that movie.

Haul from Free Comic Book Day yesterday. In addition to this graphic novel where Spider-Man meets Obama, the Wonder Woman, Batman, and Dalek buttons, and the sketch of myself, my sister, and Sherlock (by Alex Eckman-Lawn), I also got an Adventure Time comic, an issue of the New 52, and a preview of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo comic.
Some of it cost money, but it was at a major discount. Score!
Particularly the homoerotic subtext (supertext) and liberties taken with the stories. When you were done explaining the concepts of television and film to him, he’d probably say something like this:
“GOD DAMN IT, WORLD. This is the OPPOSITE of what I wanted. I wrote a short story with the express purpose of unceremoniously throwing Sherlock Holmes off a cliff so EXACTLY THIS wouldn’t happen. IT HAS BEEN OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT SHERLOCK HOLMES? Name one other book I’ve written! I dare you! THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE.”
So pretty much the opposite of “Vincent and the Doctor.”
With Gus’ signature uncontrollable sobbing, and it would pan over to Shawn, who is doing the same sob.
(Although the corresponding scene from “A Game of Shadows” would probably be more appropriate for Shawn and Gus.)
Or would that be too sad?
I wonder if they had a retrospective on Rich Brook’s career
And facebook and twitter blew up with “RICH BROOK RIP” and “RICH BROOK TAKEN TOO SOON xxx” and whatnot
And some people mention that he’s Moriarty and other people angrily jump to his defense, shouting at them that it was never proven and he was found not guilty, and the people mention why they were skeptical about the trial, and the other guys start calling them assholes and scolding them about respect for the dead
And other people are like “I loved him on that medical drama, I can’t believe he’s gone”
And lots more are like “my kids used to watch the Story Teller every day, now I’ll have to buy the DVDs because they loved him so much!”
And one dude is like “You weren’t a fan of him before he died!”
And the other people are like “How DARE you?! I was Rich Brook’s number one fan when he was alive! He was an inspiration!”
And the first dude tears off his disguise to show he’s really Sherlock, gets fed up and shouts “IT WAS NEVER A REAL SHOW!”
