That part in Les Mis. Yeah, /that/ one. Marius, hanging out with his new bestest-best friends in the world, gets a bit too politically uppity. And Combeferre puts the seventeen-year-old fanboy in his place, a bit bluntly. (My boyfriend claims that if this scene actually ever really happened to a teenaged boy, it would scar his masculine self-esteem for life. Notice how Marius never talked to Combeferre for the rest of the book....... )
I amused myself greatly working on this. Which might explain how I finished it so quickly...But yeah. I've wanted to illustrate this scene for, well, forever. I really couldn't decide whether I wanted to do a serious version or a cracked-out version, so maybe I'll eventually end up doing both......(It's just such an entertaining scene...!)
Oh yeah, and don't ask about Combeferre's medical textbooks.......... >.>;;;;
Yeah, I actually have it open in a separate window at the moment....It's Volume III ("Marius"), Book IV ("Les Amis de l'ABC"), Chapter V ("Enlargement of Horizon"). One of the most traumatizing of a long string of appallingly foolish Marius moments. XD
I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with Marius in this scene. I fell in love with Les Mis through the musical, and there all the ABC boys are super buddy, buddy with Marius, and he's portrayed as Enjy's right-hand man.
...me wonders if there's a syphilis advanced...
(oh, and on a side note, I'm on my 3rd attempt to read Les Mis the unabridged version and I'm right up to the day of the revolution...and so don't wanna go much farther, cuz I know what's gonna happen! )
That last panel was the best thing EVER. Combeferre looks awesome. I've only ever dealt with the musical and one of the movie versions, but, just because of this, I'm going to hunt down the book.
