Gee, Thanks, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Gee, Thanks, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Everyone in a certain corner of the internet knows that John Watson and this horrible kitten sweater were meant for each other, creepy staring blue doll eyes and all. Sherlock, on the other hand, disagrees. But then, he would.

Gee, Thanks, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). But you can get them on a thank you card at Etsy!

No Resemblance

No Resemblance, a Spock & Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

No Resemblance, a Spock & Sherlock comic
by Amy Crook

This little comic was suggested to me on Twitter back in November, and it’s taken me this long to get around to drawing it. The two tall, slender, logical, dark-haired men don’t see any resemblance, but I’m guessing you do.

Random artist trivia: normally I’m very good at spelling, but I have some sort of mental block with the a in “resemblance,” and keep spelling it with all ‘e’s and having to fix it, including in the pencils for the comic. Good thing I decided to spell check myself!

Above, you can see how I’ve given them very similar features, down to the hair color and eyebrow lift. Below, I’ve tucked them into a frame with Sherlock’s skull, which I’m sure Spock would find fascinating.

Not Your Housekeeper, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

The Other Amy is a wonderful customer of my Etsy shop, and she wrote me a little note to see if I was going to make a Mrs. Hudson card for Mother’s day. I hadn’t been planning to, but I thought her idea was so cute I drew it up! There’s going to be a matching card for Father’s Day with our favorite detective inspector, so watch out for that next week.

Non-Apology

Non-Apology, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Non-Apology, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

For the curious, Sherlock’s excuse for boiling toes in John’s kettle reads:

“…needed to do the experiment in order to solve the Eglantine case! I had to get the toes exactly to boiling without going over, and the kettle was perfect for that since it clicks off by itself, so I could prepare the rest of the experiment without having to watch so closely over the toes. It was absolutely vital to remove the skin intact so I could examine the layers of dermis, and then the subcutaneous fat that melted into the kettle provided the perfect vessel for my analysis of the necessary toxins involved in the murder. It was a fascinating case, the murderer had been injecting minute amounts of toxin between the victim’s toes to simulate inept heroin use, but of course I know what real track marks look like so I wasn’t fooled by the deception. The testing of the boiled fat revealed that they were using the toxin to simulate infection rather than actually poison the victim as the primary cause of death, that was obviously the stab wound, but instead to divert the police’s attention, which of course worked, which is why I had to steal the toes from the corpse when Molly was out getting me some of her awful coffee. You make much better coffee than she does, I don’t know why she’s so inept at it, it’s a simple enough formula. Anyway, once I’d figured out the rather ingenius methodology the murderer’s identity became obvious, and I had to intercept them before they left the country entirely since the Met was too stupid to put a stop on their passport, not understanding that they were the one person who stood to gain the most. It was the cousin, of course, the one who was instructed in the will to go on a free tour of Europe informing the various small publishers of the author’s demise and the change of hands for their publication rights from the author herself to the trust for that charity…”

I feel this is how they came to have the fancy glowing kettle he uses in The Reichenbach Fall. I wrote it all out by hand on the original because I knew the buyer would want it, phew!

Above, you can see a close-up photo of his unrepentant face triumphantly explaining how the contamination of John’s kettle helped solve the case. Below, they’re in a frame, and John still looks deeply unimpressed.

Get Well, Watson

Get Well, Watson, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook

Get Well, Watson, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook

While working on The Death of Me, Too, I was thinking about making a Sherlock-themed Get Well card for my Etsy shop, and this is the result. Poor pale John is looking a bit careworn, with dark circles under his eyes and the otter next to him for comfort. Fortunately we know how the story ends, and that he survives Sherlock’s version of “care” just fine.

Above, you can see the blue smudges under John’s distressed little eyes, and his otter plushie disavowing all knowledge of what’s going on. Below, he’s hidden himself in a frame, hoping Sherlock won’t find him until he’s well again.

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

The Death of Me, Too, 6 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

And so we come to the end, when John and Sherlock have both survived their terrible colds and, in John’s case, some rather terrible caretaking. I think the expression on John’s face here really says it all, don’t you?

If you enjoyed this comic, consider getting a print at my Etsy shop to have your very own copy to admire and giggle over.

Lestrade’s stopped in to see how things are going at 221b, and he’s a bit concerned for John’s chances of survival. John is, too, but Sherlock’s perfectly confident and doesn’t appreciate all this doubt. He’s even pulled out his Manual of Exotic Diseases vol. III to check up on John’s symptoms, not to mention sharing his hedgehog.
