Art!

The lovely LJ artist [info]spacefall has made some bloody fantastic Holmes-House crossover comics!

Scroll down for Comic Number One, as they go in descending order on her LJ

Yaaaay crossovers!

They're very cute, very cracky, and Everyone Ever should check them out. '
So there.

ETA:
Warning: Comic Number Three is a little slashy. Oh well.
Viewer discretion blah blah blah etc etc etc

OT: Bonjour!

Hey, sorry for the two or so week hiatus, was off doing the American in Paris routine.
Things (that are related to this blog) that I learned in France include: people like House very much in France and Holmes is very hard to read in French.

Also, on Continental Airlines, when you are flying into the US, they play a little infomercial about how to fill out a customs form.
In said infomercial was a picture of a sample form, filled out with random, sample information. I don't remember the name on the form, but the address was "221B Baker Street!" (the city was Brooklyn, which totally killed the Holmes vibe, but what can ya do)

Also, quick OT question: is it "airplane" or "aeroplane"?
Because "Aeroplane" is way cooler looking.

Right, back to rewatching every House episode ever and trying to think of ways in which they are clearly the same as detective fiction circa eighteen eighty.
I do have a life! I swear! I do! Its probably just, um, hiding under my bed or in a cupboard or something...

221B



In the episode Hunting, we are able to clearly see (over Wilson's shoulder) that House's address is 221B. Needless to say, I squeeeed with joy after seeing that episode. We are not, however, treated with a street name for the good doctor. But I'm thinking Baker Street. Is anyone else thinking Baker Street? Yeah, that's what I thought. The Holmes picture over there is from Granada's delightful series with the wonderful Jeremy Brett. If you haven't seen it, I'd check it out. Holmesians have a sort of love-hate relationship with Jeremy's Holmes, in that they either love him to bits or hate his guts... And yeah, that was very off topic.
