A few things that caught my eye, though I haven’t decided whether or not to offer/request yet:
• Oz – L. Frank Baum Button-Bright , Dorothy Gale, Patchwork Girl, Polychrome, Princess Ozma, Toto
The
inclusion of Button-Bright interests me – he’s an Oz character I’ve
always had a bit of trouble getting a handle on – likely because he was
introduced as a toddler, then I think Baum must have aged him up to
about nine or ten and given him his own spin-off series, before bringing
him back as an Oz regular. As a toddler he’s a bit irritating—as an
older kid he retains something of his initial stolidity, but it’s become
less a matter of “too ignorant to panic” and more “has realized a
wait-and-see approach works for him.”
• Parker Pyne – Agatha Christie Ariadne Oliver, Claude Luttrell, Madeleine de Sara, Parker Pyne
There’ve
been Mr. Quinn requests again this year, but here’s another of the less
well-known, potentially fun-to-play-with Christie series.
• Watership Down – Richard Adams Bigwig , Blackavar, Fiver , General Woundwort , Hazel , Silverweed
Inclusion of Silverweed notable.
• A Canterbury Tale (1944) Alison Smith, Bob Johnson , Peter Gibbs, Thomas Colpepper
Finally!
• Ich möchte kein Mann sein | I don’t want to be a Man (1918) Dr Kersten, Dr Kersten’s Valet, The Governess, Ossi Oswalda
• Hilda the Plus-Sized Pin-Up – Duane Bryers (Illustration Series)
Interesting
but very open-ended, as the original works are basically single-panel
cartoons. Hilda seems rather fun and outdoorsy, so camping adventures
are a possibility, or maybe she could help out the girls fixing their
car from this Norman Rockwell cover.
