Bubble Queue Bookmark
by Amy Crook
Spirals and bubbles and Qs, oh, my! It’s a queue of Qs rising up, large and small, with curly double tails and a whole lot of whimsy. This one’s small but nice and sturdy, drawn on a bit of comic backing board so it’s even acid-free.

Above you can see some of the squiggly little bubbles with their swirly tails up close. Below, you can see the wee bookmark resting on a nice big hardcover book.

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 6 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
If there’s one thing in the world the Holmes brothers can agree on, it’s that John’s fashion sense is a sartorial crime. I couldn’t imagine doing these comics without John making at least an appearance, and it felt appropriate for his awful brown suit from The Great Game to be the source of a single moment of brotherly accord. And an excellent note on which to end the series!
If you’d like, you can read them all over again here. Or, get your very own prints here in the Sherlock section of my Etsy shop. My wonderful patron, Caroline, commissioned the originals, but she’s willing to share!

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 5 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
Sherlock has been looking for a new flat when we first see him in the show. Here we can see how he got himself kicked out of his flat on Montague Street in the first place. I’m not sure what that slime is creeping down the stairs, but I’m certain it counts as more than a minor disagreement. And those trousers are ruined.

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 4 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
We’ve skipped ahead a few years to Sherlock’s very first encounter with Detective Inspector Lestrade, putting us approximately five years before A Study in Pink. Here you can see Sherlock with his proper swishy coat and bad attitude, and poor Lestrade finding out that it doesn’t do to ignore a Holmes when he’s got observations for you.

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 3 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
A few years into university, we find Mycroft back dealing with his little brother’s talent for making trouble. Here we see him trying out a line he uses frequently throughout his life, “It was an experiment!” I do wonder who won this battle of wills, what do you think?

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 2 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
Mycroft, ever the good big brother, has helped Sherlock move into his dorm room at university. Sherlock, of course, shows his appreciation with bad attitude. My personal favorite part are the textbooks, which include useful things like “SCIENCE!” and “More Science.”

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 1 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
Two weeks of Sherlock in a row? Madness! If you missed the first week, you can read them in order here. We meet up with the brothers just a few years on into Sherlock’s education, at age 15, when he’s picked up a new bad habit. Mycroft has given up on reasoning and gone straight to lecturing, oh, dear.
