You folks have probably already seen this, but I thought I would post it:

Plumfield and Padeada

I hadn't read the short story, and I haven't watched much "Jeeves And Wooster", so I found the story extremely interesting. What happened to Uncle Willoughby? Was he fridged? Or did he just disappear?

At another den of iniquity I frequent, someone (not me, I'm a flake) organized a Jeeves & Wooster read-along. Would anyone be interested in doing such a thing here? Like, once a week we could do however many chapters seems wise, there'd be a post, people would comment... Or maybe this could be a thing to try over on Imzy? Thoughts?

I posted all the ones that were easy for ( Read more... )

In the interests of generating some discussion:

I'm reading Right Ho, Jeeves for the first time (or I read it so long ago that I remember none of it) and Bertie comes across as a bit of a dick! It's honestly kind of refreshing -- I'm so used to him as a sweetie-pie. (I don't know if that's fanfic merging with canon in my head, but I do vaguely ( Read more... )

I just came across a page of Wodehouse's notes, published as a photographic plate in P. G. Wodehouse: A Literary Biography by Benny Green (New York: The Rutledge Press, 1981). Oh, what might have been . . .

( Surely I can get something out of Bertie being pursued by Beefy. )

Am I delusional or did Bertie once describe himself as being 'safe in taxis'?

Today, while struggling with the next part of my WIP of doom, I felt compelled to take out some of my creative frustrations on some canon material. Here are a couple of sketches of Aunt Dahlia, inspired by Code of the Woosters.
