I had the opportunity to rework this (very) old comic (nine years!!!!) for the latest issue of The Watsonian, who are always such darlings. I know it’s very tempting to update old art and refresh things, especially after almost a decade, but it easily turns into a never ending process that I frankly do not have the energy for. One of the major reasons I haven’t managed to compile all these little guys in a proper volume (although you can have a leisurely browse online) is that I feel like my perspective as a reader, and artist, has so dramatically changed within those past few years that I’m not sure that this is the content I’d still like to create or reprint. I’ve always put Holmes and Watson’s deep yet complicated relationship at the heart of these pieces, but sometimes it feels to me that they appear more annoyed with each other than what I would like to see depicted in my own work. I would prefer to bring the focus back on the domestic and romantic aspect of the stories, which I guess is already present in those comics but not necessary as much as I would like to have portrayed it. Anyway, thoughts. Always a pleasure to be able to revisit old favourites and give them new life, hopefully more gay stuff in the future. -- source link
