Sarjiksista puhuminen on jäänyt aika vähäiseksi. Nyt voin kuitenkin esitellä vähän niche-kamaa ja suuren aarteeni, nimittäin uudehkon #JeevesAndWooster -zinen, jonka on tehnyt ShinXo!
Tekijä oli ensikertalainen zinen teossa, mutta jälki on huoliteltua ja tykkään erityisesti pehmeistä väreistä. (Zinet on myyty loppuun.)

I've had a lovely time this evening working on what's turning out to be a novelette or novella. (Projected length: 15k words.)
The plot involves Bertie Wooster and Jeeves accidentally traveling in time and meeting the Buddha. It's fun to write, although creating something that can pass for Wodehouse's style is challenging. The man was a fiendishly clever stylist.
The best part is the research: reading tons of Wodehouse.

Almost all of the Fry & Laurie “Jeeves & Wooster” is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHxC5fTU2oVbTLQ7WayDiYlnlHPjuOk6Z
The “Tuppy and the Terrier” episode nearly killed me by asphyxiation when it aired on PBS in the ‘90s because I was laughing so hard.

Ok so I wasn't the only one who never questioned #HughLaurie's American accent on #HouseMD lol, from reading the comments. I only knew he was British much later, specifically from watching BTS vids from after they had wrapped up the show. Since then, it feels so weird watching him in a British accent like in #JeevesAndWooster.
Side note: it's so sad to see him look rather old now :'))

I'd kill for a modern reboot of Jeeves and Wooster.
Bertie to Jeeves via zoom call: “What is it Jeeves; you don't mean to say you disapprove of my sizeable investment in FinkNottleCoin?”
Jeeves: “Perish the thought sir; I fear the noise-reduction algorithm inadvertently censored my ululation.”
Bertie: “Oh. Right then.”

It’s funny that I don’t enjoy the Jeeves and Wooster comedies, but I don’t and because of that I recently declined an invitation to see Jeeves At Sea. P.G. Wodehouse wrote many musicals, novels, and plays and his works are all widely enjoyed for his wit and writing skill. So, why do the Jeeves plays make me cringe? I get the humour and I’m glad that they make people laugh, but something in me feels the sting in the tail of the jokes.
Image via garystockbridge617I lived in England until I was in my early 20s and in that time there were a few occasions when I experienced social class distinction, and twice the put-downs hurt so much I have never forgotten them. That, I suspect, is at the root of my resistance to Jeeves and Wooster.
There are many ways in which social status is confirmed and distinctions are maintained, and they include everything from manners to accents. Sadly, some upper class people are quite oblivious to their own sense of superiority, but the lower classes are never able to forget their position. Servants of the aristocracy have had to develop coping techniques in order to keep their jobs, and we see that played out in many television series including Upstairs Downstairs, Downton Abbey, and The Crown.
Image via Flickr.comThe fact that Jeeves is wiser and wittier than his master, Wooster, should be no surprise to anyone because wit and wisdom are enjoyed in all walks of life. But, Jeeves’ intelligence is the basis for the humour, especially when juxtaposed against Wooster’s misadventures. The joke, on the face of it, is on Wooster.
Taking a step back, though, it becomes clearer that laughing at Wooster makes his ignorance acceptable. It is not unlike realizing that the fictional sitcom character Archie Bunker from All In The Family became a working class icon, even though he espoused racism and bigotry. Both Wooster and Bunker wrap bigotry and ignorance in comedy, and both make it seem okay.
Image via picryl.comP.G. Wodehouse’s experiences enabled him to appreciate some of the follies and shortcomings of the aristocracy, and his writing skill and humour enabled him to write very popular comedies. What he could not anticipate, though, was that laughing at upper class eccentricity makes their bad behaviour and buffoonery somehow acceptable. Boris Johnson has capitalized on that, but Meghan Markle has been a victim of it.
I do not object to Wodehouse’s plays in themselves, but I do object to the ethos of the aristocracy that they foster. Upper class twits are just not funny to me these days.

Just occurred to me that Bertie Wooster (from Jeeves and Wooster) might count as some flavor of asexual: while he does occasionally fall in love, he spends a lot of his stories trying to *avoid* getting into romantic relationships with women who throw themselves at him. #Jeevesandwooster #asexual #aromantic

In chapter eight of Wodehouse’s “the Code of the Woosters”, when Stiffie Byng sets up a meeting for twelve ‘pip emma’, it’s clear she means midnight—it should have been twelve ‘ack emma’.
Unless in England, or in England of the past, midnight is twelve p.m.
This has long puzzled me

Magicians keep people guessing where they had things hidden. We know they didn't make it materialize out of nothing. The worst thing they can do is stop the trick halfway to explain where they really have the flowers, a rabbit, a coin, etc. There's no point in waiting to see it happen.
Good writing is like a magic trick; they're setting up important actions and the reasons for them. Readers don't want the end result of the character's struggled explained halfway through the book. Finishing it feels redundant.
I'm thinking of #JeevesandWooster as I write this. I gave it too much credit at first. After three episodes, I knew what to expect: Idiot Plots with Upper Class Twits manipulating each other, and Jeeves manipulating Wooster. I was done with the series when Jeeves visited the association of smart butlers who blackmail their dimwitted employers.
