I always look for background visuals. They can add to the foreground story or foreshadow a later scene. Going from panel 1 to 2, it seems that Phillipa _knows_ her hubby is about to get his comeuppance.
I can see it! I’d been envisioning John Ashton, but I like where you’re going with Hardman…not to mention, once again, love the cultural pool you’re drawing from, with your choices.
If Karl Hardman is unavailable, Tom Towles makes a fair stand-in. Have to confess I’m not as familiar with John Ashton, Rancourt. But from the images I saw, he could pull it off, for sure.
@Prairie Son: check out https://www.plato-dialogues.org/faq/faq008.htm . I taught Plato to undergraduates back in the Oughties, and this very question came up occasionally. The quote, as phrased above, is Santayana’s.
Alas, no. I saw it at a high school movie night. But that was the last time I saw it, too. 1986 or ’87. All I remember is it was Eddy Murphy being his most obnoxious self and some painfully 1980’s stereotypes were involved.
Ashton played the Eighties cop version of Grumpy Cat, in that film. He has a gift for a particular characterization of middle age that, depending on script and perspective, can skew to either sourceword of the portmanteau "endearritating." This said, though, I love both of your recommendations for casting!
Always enjoyed media of any sort where you can see things happening in the background, and though it’s not the focus of the scene, it tells a story of it’s own without words.
Pick up your copies of YAFGC Volumes 1 - 5 at our online store. Multi-book bundles and sketch editions available.
Lanly? Who have we met recently from Lanly?
Alaria.
That was her, thank you
You’re welcome )
Hmm… I wonder what he’ll say when he finds out about who he’s talking down to?
About to take some big office and he’d rather sell his family into slavery than fork over the money for tolls?
Show him who’s the boss!
Background. Panel Two.
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
An entire story, right there.
t!
Entire volumes told about Phillippa. Never, ever disregard a background in YAFGC, indeed.

Interesting. My own read on Phillippa’s smile was simply relief that Louis was safe….but I admit, she’s rather a tabula rasa to us, at the moment.
I’m wondering mostly about Louis’ reaction to Phillippa. He looks surprised about something.
I’m thinking that Louis is just still worried about his mom, despite her reassuring smile.
So, telling people off is apparently genetic. XD
Cadugan learned from the best!
Karl Hardman should play Eldwig in the (black n white) movie version.

Good choice! Yeah, he’d be great.
And of course you would like my pool; you, Rich, and I share a Classical Education.

Nice choice!
Are that One Kid of our generation who didn’t see Beverly Hills Cop?
t!
Or "The Addams Family" TV series
Ya gotta admire his consistency, folks!

"Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim." – George Santayana
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." – also George Santayana
I love that I will need to explain neither observation to you, t!, nor their relationship to context.
Okay, my mistake, got him mixed up with John _Astin_
@Rancourt
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." is actually Plato. George was quoting the Greek.
> I love that I will need to explain neither observation to you, t!, nor their relationship to context.
You, sir, can be quite mean when you put your mind to it.
I admire that.

"Hot Poker Up the Rear Tester" is not a job title I would want.
Go with the "Adequate" solution.
I wonder how it will go over when he discovers he’s talking to a Baroness===and the Duke’s mother-in-law.
And her son-in-law is not only a Duke but also a werewolf.
Yeah, you tell him, Flannet! ^_^

Bravo sir. Bravo.
I know, right? The peasants banging cats against the walls in Monty Python flicks move me to tears every time.
Having owned several cats, it has, admittedly when my Dark Side mind appears, crossed my mind with the little gits.
They can be evil things, cats. Cute, but evil
Kinda reminds me of life from a child’s perspective. Lots happens in the background, but nobody notices.
And then when the adult _finally_ turns around, what ever it was you wanted them to see, has stopped or gone away
A, just like Candace in "Phineas & Ferb".
Drain the swamp.
Lol
