“Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible. He was angelically handsome. He was a savage Antinous.”
“Combeferre was as gentle as Enjolras was severe, through natural whiteness. He loved the word citizen, but he preferred the word man.”
“Enjolras was the chief, Combeferre was the guide, Courfeyrac was the centre. The others gave more light, he shed more warmth; the truth is, that he possessed all the qualities of a centre, roundness and radiance “
[ID: Artwork of Enjolras from Les Miserables, sitting on the ground with his back to the viewer. He is a white man with shoulder-length blonde hair, wearing a white shirt, a reddish vest, brown pants, and a tricolor sash. He is holding up a tricolor cockade as five white doves fly around him, shedding a few feathers. End ID.]
Far would like to wish you all a miserable Barricade Day 2022. ;)
I had a bunch of half-baked ideas for this year, but then @pilferingapples went and reblogged this post by @swutol-sang-scopes that translated one of the songs from the Argot chapter (thank you!) – and then of course this was what my brain latched on to and insisted it would make excellent text for a comic.
[Pilferingapples, I hold you responsible. Yet again!]
Regarding the last panel: if it seems suspiciously familiar, it’s because I’ve always wanted to redraw the last panel from my Orestes Fasting, Pylades Drunk comic from Way Back When… just with even more drama than it already had. I just really like this perspective ok, and it seemed like a fitting end to this comic.
I am not sorry about the context of “meat” in Page 3. (Actually, I’m cheerfully unrepentant about any of this. I don’t know how you could possibly expect differently). Also, because I know that at least one person is going to comment on this (you know who you are): Iknow I said this comic wasn’t about Bahorel, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to die in it either.BECAUSE. – Is anyone still even keeping score of Bahorel vs Combeferre? ;)
[I will also take any and every opportunity to give as many of Feuilly’s Six cameo appearances in my comics as I can manage.]
Watched the 25th anniversary concert and thought i’d take it as an opportunity to post this doodle i made some weeks ago! I rlly liked how it turned out
