Further Update & Some Hopeful Perseverance

Over the past couple of weeks there have been many hurtles that I hope shall come to a neat end. I am currently in the process of writing a detective/fantasy story, as well as other more important hurtles that have interrupted my correspondence. Now, with any amount of luck, I shall now be on my way to posting more little scribbles with extraneous and utterly boring explanations and such within the week. Speaking of which, this update is also a preview to the next drawing in my series that has but one doodle to its name, currently; it is the Detective Scribbles. You, hopefully being an avid reader of not only things on the Internet, but of actual books, will receive but one clue from this scribbler.

The detective's name is Roman in origin and he might remind you of a brother of another very famous detective of international renown.

Until next time, keep a sharp eye out for my next post.

Update...and frustration

This is merely an update and an apology due to the fact that there have been a series of technical and chronological difficulties in the new series, titled "the Detective Scribbles."
I have been cleaning and organizing various things only to find that the days are ticking away without any new pictures being scanned. I can guarantee, however, that this series will continue sometime later in the week, but otherwise, here is this picture depicting my frustration with technology nowadays. It is a small and not a very detailed drawing compared to the previous scribbles that have been posted, but it is still quite humorous to this scribbler. Thanks and keep a sharp eye out for my next post.

The Detective Scribbles, No. One, Monsieur H. Poirot

Here is the first drawing in a whole new series of doodles, entitled The Detective Scribbles. Hopefully, every week or so, I will have a new drawing that consists of a new fictional detective. This week is the most famous detective in the world, according to this character's "little gray cells," I am, of course, speaking of Monsieur Hercule Poirot, the brainchild of a very clever woman by the name of Agatha Christie. He was a Sherlock Holmes of a generation that just emerged from the first World War. This fastidious little character with his waxed moustache and seemingly infinite intellect emerged onto the literary scene in 1920 with his first adventure, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (a book that I would recommend for any bookworm who has an interest in crime fiction). Since his first adventure to his swansong in Curtain, Poirot and his fastidiousness that bordered on the obsessive compulsive had solved grand and marvelous crimes that enthralled the world because of his creator, Mrs. Christie.

He is one of my favorite fictional detectives because he's a character to sort of snicker at due his eccentricities such as how he keeps everything neat and tidy, much like his idiosyncratic moustache, and how it is said that even the slightest speck of dust would hurt more than a bullet. This little Belgian detective has had many actors who have tried to portray him on both the silver screen and the stage, but my favorite actor who has portrayed him is possibly the only one that I think could play Poirot to a T: that is the English actor by the name of David Suchet. If you have followed this particular blog with any particular interest, you will remember that I have mentioned a program called Masterpiece Mystery, which is on PBS. You will find that, at least at this present time, there is a new season of the Agatha Christie's Poirot that is currently airing, it's last episode in the season, Hollowe'en Party, is set to air...well...tonight, Sunday, July 3rd. So, to wrap up this quite lengthy post, I would highly recommend reading Christie's little Belgian detective and see his little grey cells at work, or tune into Agatha Christie's Poirot starring the quintessential actor David Suchet, if you are fans of crime fiction, I doubt that you will disappointed. Thanks for enduring the rambling. Keep a sharp eye out for my next post. (Note: I am well aware that the drawing sort of leans over, quite harshly, to one side, I am most sincerely sorry, it is the one of the faults of being right-handed.)
