As they walked along the sound of squibs was still heard periodically. An occasional shower of golden rain illuminated the sky. “Good night for a murder,” remarked Japp with professional interest. “Nobody would hear a shot, for instance, on a night like this.” “It has always seemed odd to me that more criminals do not take advantage of the fact,” said Hercule Poirot. “Do you know, Poirot, I almost wish sometimes that you would commit a murder.” “Mon cher!” “Yes, I’d like to see just how you’d set about it.” “My dear Japp, if I committed a murder you would not have the least chance of seeing — how I set about it! You would not even be aware, probably, that a murder had been committed.”

“Murder in the Mews” was first published in the USA in Redbook Magazine, September/October 1936, then as “Mystery of the Dressing Case” in Woman’s Journal, December 1936.

Air date: 15 January 1989.

1930s Orange Henley: A Comparison

My knowledge of year-to-year men's fashion isn't extensive but I do notice trends and, pun intended, common threads. In the first three frames above Hugh Fraser, as Captain Hastings in Agatha Christie's Poirot, is wearing a charming knit Henley in a subtle orange color with two pockets. It looks like a single pattern cotton knit, fairly thin. It was filmed in 1988 or 1989 for the episode Murder in the Mews (1/15/89). I'm not sure if it's actually vintage but it very well could be, as it would only have been about 50 or so years old at that point. [Bonus 1978 Richard Carmody in the background, played by Christopher Brown.] In the last four screencaps from All Creatures Great and Small (1978), Tristan Farnon (Peter Davison) is wearing a similar collared orange Henley in the episodes Calf Love and It Takes All Kinds. It appears to be more woolen than cotton and lacks pockets. There is a tiny button at the back of the collar so it can remain turned-down and it has buttons at the v-neck collar like a typical Henley. There is also a nice knit zig-zag design. Again, not sure if this is vintage, but if it originates from the time period (1937 in this first season) it would only be about 40 years old in the late 70s. Both sweaters are lovely!

been listening to agatha christie lately and i want more japp and poirot adventures

It is entirely in the modern spirit to criticize your parents.

"'Good night for a murder,' remarked Japp with professional interest. 'Nobody would hear a shot, for instance, on a night like this.'"

If sketch requests are still open, I wish to see Wind, Four, Hyrule, and Time playing Monopoly.

Four is a smart man who values his life😳

AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT 1x02 "Murder in the Mews"

stinky man

I'd hate to be heartbroken. I don't want to listen to Ink Waruntorn's music and cry alone in my room every day.

ONLY FRIENDS (2023)

nobody understands a single THING about pilot dib vs series dib all they know is fandom osmosis and artstyle bias

i used to be a bit conscious about having so many girls/fem characters in my works (starsaints carnival is the only developed story right now that doesn't have a female protagonist, and most of the time i have to actively go out of my way to make male characters) but you know what fuck it i like girls so i'm gonna write girls goddammit!!!

My pookie who lives rent free in my head in Math class.

I got a sudden urge to draw my babies with luscious locks. (Or in Lav's case, a suffocating heat trap!)

they’re getting ready to eat only friends for breakfast <3
