Description
G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown, in all his umbrella'd, brown parcel-carrying glory. If you don't know the character, then GOOD GOD MAN GET THEE TO GUTENBERG AND READ THE DAMN THINGS!!! They are brilliant stories, Brown makes for a wonderful detective thanks to his insight into human evil, and they are just a joy to read. They make me grin like a loon while I'm reading them on the subway.I know it's really only a sketch, and should therefore go under Sketches, but I love him an awfully lot as is. Perhaps I will ink him at some point, but for now, I shan't.

Ooh, this is one of my favorite Father Brown stories next to "Miracle at Moon Crescent."
It's very clever how the whole thing works out with the packages he carries. I may need to read it again; it's remarkable.

I just recently picked up "The Complete Father Brown" and am enjoying them thoroughly. I always imagined him as older, but your drawing really captures his kindly personality and wide-eyed innocence... both of which diabolically (?) misleading.

Ooo! I have been meaning to tell you! My school's departmental T-shirts have a G.K.C. quote on the back, illustrated by Tim Powers, one of our writers-in-residence.
'I wish I were a jellyfish, that could not fall down stairs...' It starts like that. Know it? I haven't memorised it because it's on the back of the shirt, lol.
Anyway...OOO NEW MURDER MYSTERIES!
