Blomes and Potson are about to charge out on the trail of the purloined cheese. But, not wanting to spend a cold night locked up in the “Old Bailey” , they need to get dressed. Historical Note: The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales (commonly called the Old Bailey, after the street on which it stands) is a court in London .

Time to dress for the occasion.
Thanks David,
At this point, any occasion. The streets of turn of the century London are tough enough without walking around in the buff.
So, the first mystery that needs to be solved is “where is Monroe’s shell?”
JP, those are beautiful backgrounds! I bet that they took quite a while to do.
Thanks Howard,
The wood furniture is pretty quick but that old stove was a bear but lots of fun. But, wait until you see Thursday’s comic. I figured out how to create a pen and ink watercolor wash style background that reminds me of 1970s European style animated cartoons. Thursday is my prototype attempt and it was super fun to do. 😀
Or one could say, “The stinky foot is agame!”
Proper attire? Perhaps a brier pipe and top hat? (the deerstalker and calabash pipe wasn’t in the book, but was actually introduced in the theater, I hear.)
Thanks RG,
I am glad you are enjoying the story. so far…
They better get clothed before they go out or they might find themselves in the belly of the Old Bailey!
The British frown on public nudity.
Cheese theft… the MOST heinous of crimes!
Not gouda at all! Gonna have to stay SHARP on this case!
Thanks Jack,
You get the puns of the day award 🙂
I hate those dreams where I’m walking around with no clothes on! At least they’re in the privacy of their flat, eh wot? 😀
And yes, that stove is amazing!
Thanks Dana
