Had I done this plate, I too would have gone back to the girls and the nature of their... entanglements. Most lovely, Dave! Which of them was driving?

D.TAYLOR said...

Due to the eloquent dialog our characters use I see this set in Jolly Olde England...so in panel two we can not so clearly see our blond is driving. (that's meant to be her arm in the bottom left of the second panel!) Yes, it's lazy story telling but then I thought it was obvious! Thanks Woodz for making me look so clumsy!!!

I. N. J. Culbard said...

Dave, you're ace!

;-)

I think its sort of a British version of an American version of ye jolly Olde England. A sort of mid-Atlantic Hollywood England. Full to the brim with Margaret Rutherfords and Basil Rathbones.

I think that pins it down nicely Ian, well bloomin' done chief!

It is absolutely that kind of England through a Hollywood filter kind of thing. I just didn't know who was driving! You could answer either way, after all there are plenty of foreign cars in the UK imported for their glamour.
And it makes a difference as to plot, after all one of them knows where they are going and perhaps the other has no choice but to go along...

As Agatha was the one that pulled Ms M out of the house I thought she should drive. In an English car that is!

I. N. J. Culbard said...

Looking at panel 2 of that plate there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Agatha is driving as those, I thought, were clearly her arms raised to the wheel.

Also, Miss Moineau's expression in panel four... wonderful.

D.TAYLOR said...

Thanks Woods, but it's just the old using a mirror for reference thing.

Dave, you are gorgeous.
