“That bland smile of his is ten times as nasty as the frowns from lesser villains . . .”

Italian artist Paolo Garretto drew the above caricature of Peter Lorre to announce his upcoming role in Secret Agent (1936). Source

While Secret Agent was in release in London, the artist Gitano created a portrait of Peter as "The General." Besides paint, he used skeins of black silk, a scarf, a gold earring, a boutonniere, and a tie-pin. Mmm, a tactile Lorre! Source

Speaking of imagery and such, Peter was allegedly gratified by impersonations, whether vocal or artistic. However, he had signed away his screen image as early as 1941:

"Warner Bros. held a patent on Lorre’s physical likeness, caricaturing the actor in animated cartoons that depicted a baby-faced villain with bulging eyes and nasal whine."

May 24, 1941, Warner Bros. released “Hollywood Steps Out,” which featured a gallery of stars. Eying a naked woman clothed only by a bubble, Peter Lorre says, “I haven’t seen such a beautiful bubble since I was a child.”

April 11, 1942: In Dr. Seuss’s “Horton Hatches the Egg,” a Peter Lorre Fish "spots the elephant atop a bird’s nest, pulls out a pistol, and shoots itself in the head, a scene later deleted by several television networks for its violent content."

Other animated appearances include:

“Hair Raising Hare” (June 8, 1946) with Bugs Bunny

“The Birth of a Notion” (April 12, 1947) with Daffy Duck

“Racketeer Rabbit”(September 14, 1946) with Bugs Bunny

Lorre's screen image also appeared in a 13-week episode of a Batman & Robin newspaper strip, entitled "The Two-Bit Dictator of Twin Mills," (October 30, 1944 - January 26, 1945).

It's bugged me since I've known about it that Peter didn't even get any $$ for these images while he was alive - money he sorely could have used. But Warner Bros sure did.

I'm going to open commissions for humanitarian aid for Palestine and other threatened places. In return for a donation to aid organizations, I'll draw whatever you want (within reason) and I encourage you to donate regardless of whether you want a commission. A bigger donation means a more detailed work (dm for info). I put some of the subjects/fandoms I have experience with drawing in the tags.

NOTE: aid is being obstructed from entering Gaza right now by the Israeli military. Some of these organizations below might not be able to act right now bc of that. I'm looking at other orgs that can help right now, but in the future the Palestine orgs below will still be important to keep in mind as Palestine rebuilds its communities.

More info under the cut:

Price list:

Head and shoulders: $5 per person

Hips up: $6 per person

Full body: $7-$10, + $7 per each extra person

+Flat Color: $7

+Cel shading: $10

Payment is half-before, half after it's done. Send screenshot/s as proof of payment, of the donation showing the amount and the confirmation thank you screen. (MAKE SURE TO CROP/SENSOR ANY PERSONAL INFO OUT OF SCREENSHOT. The marker tool in many markup apps is not a good way to sensor as it's not opaque; you can use the pen tool or edit it in a free app like gimp, ibispaintx, or firealpaca if in doubt.)

(prices are a general guidance. Prices can be donated directly to any of the orgs below in exchange for art)

THIS POST has info on which donations are currently reaching Gaza! Refer to this first for donations direct to Gaza and Palestine!

Orgs such as:

Palestine Legal

Middle Eastern Children's Alliance

Doctors without Borders (I think that was the right link?)

Palestine Red Crescent Society

Unrwa

If anyone else has suggestions let me know. Also looking for humanitarian orgs to counter other genocides like in Sudan and DRC.

Direct Relief

Water for South Sudan

Sudan Relief Fund

Post with more Sudan links

Post with DR of Congo links

Friends of the Congo

Here's something from the International Rescue Committee

Save The Children chapter for DRC

yippee! more cog ocs!

this is toady, my bossbot. my greaseball

true to his name, hes a huge sycophant. sucks up to anyone important enough to warrant it and is a massive narc on everyone else in the workplace. is at his most confident when standing slightly behind a much larger and scarier cog. generally unpleasant to work with and not very popular in his workplace

he runs a small management firm inside cogs inc (black lotus asset handling) which only employs him. but it sounds better on paper to have a business name to sign under, yknow. hes actually really good when he gets to flex his management and task distribution skills he just rarely gets a chance because hes a pain in the butt to work with

also yes he is my cartoon peter lorre expy so please imagine everything he does with the voice and mannerisms

#alloyart #toontown #toontown cogs #cogs #cog oc #toonblr #toontag #the cartoon staple of having a weird simpering little beast who is a clear peter lorre parody is like. my favourite ever.#so many of my fav characters in games/cartoons have That Vibe going on #and ive been watching a lot of old b/w films of the man himself so its all fresh in the brain I suppose #anyway. toady hates ties and wont wear them if he doesnt have to. hes almost always a little oil-stained.#like. if you shook his hand it'd be weirdly slick and you'd realize. oh ew thats oil. where did that come from #i love him a lot and i am unfortunately attracted to this type of man. robot. frog. you know

So I've seen some people compare Slappy to Gomez from the animated Addams family movie and

Gomez's design is more true to his original comic design

And the common denominator between this and Slappy is that they're both based on the og wormy boy

#Of course you all probably heard enough of this #But I personally can't get enough of Peter Lorre respawning in cartoons when you least expect it #This is my favorite genre #But yeah that's why these two look the same #Slappy laszlo #Peter lorre fish #Gomez Addams #Peter lorre #Spongebob squarepants #Sbsp #The Spongebob connoisseur #Spongebob #The Addams family

He's a worm boy because of the "would you love me if i was a worm" thing.

You KNOW Lorre stans would absolutely adore him as a worm. He's the only one who would get an absolute enthusiastic yes to the question.

Hmm idk. I guess if we're assuming peter lorre as a worm was literally just maggot, with the lorre voice and face and his vibrant personality, I'd answer that question with an enthusiastic yes.

However, as someone who loves lorre, but is absolutely terrified of worms in real life, who don't have faces or humanoid sentience or a likeness to a deceased hungarian actor, if Peter Lorre turned into a realistic, noncartoon worm, it would be very difficult for me personally to say if I'd still love him

#peter lorre #corpse bride #corpse bride maggot #would you love me if i was a worm #idk what it is but ive always been terrified of worms #i loved cartoon worm characters though like maggot and earthworm jim
