Jessica Fletcher Week 2010

Hello!

You may or may not know this, but last year I did something called Jessica Fletcher Week. You can check it out via this tag...

I really enjoyed it! People sent in some drawings and I put them on my blog and it was good fun. Well done everyone. And I'd really like to do it again. So that's what I'm going to do.

But I need your help!

As of the 29th of November, I'll spend those five days uploading a different Jessica Fletcher-themed drawing. I'll ask friends to send in drawings too and they'll get uploaded. If you'd like to participate. or know anyone that wants to participate, then please get in touch. Or just send in your drawing before the 29th! My email address is timothy_winchester (AT) yahoo (DOT) com. You don't need to be a comic-maker or anything so don't worry!

Um...what else? Jessica Fletcher, if you don't know, is the main character in Murder, She Wrote. And I guess you should send along any links you want me to direct people to? And please don't make the drawing too rude or anything? I mean, you're in charge but I really like Jessica Fletcher so please be nice.

Get in touch if you have any questions... You can do it!

Jessica Fletcher Week: The End...For Now?

So....that's it, eh? Jessica Fletcher Week can't really continue since it's been a week since it started. That's not to say that I'll never draw her again and if you want to draw her and send it in then PLEASE DO... but I should probably get back to drawing dinosaurs and stuff.

Thanks to everyone (anyone?) that's stuck with it for the week. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

A massive thanks to everyone who has submitted a drawing. It's been really interesting and exciting seeing what people have come up with. Keep in touch, y'hear!

An extra thanks to Shaun who I need to buy a cake for.

So...yeah? I guess that's it.

OH WAIT!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Rubén!

Remember Juan? He was the first peron to send in a Jessica Fletcher for Jessica Fletcher Week. Well - what with there being a Circle of Life or something, Juan's pal Rubén (who I don't know) has kindly sent in this stonking drawing.

I know what you're thinking: "Is that Jessica Fletcher making sexy eyes at me?"

The answer is yes - you're totally in there. I predict third base!

Since I don't know Rubén, I can't tell you a funny story about how we met or anything about that time he threw up on my shoes... but I CAN tell you that he has a blog and a proper portfolio. They might be in Spanish but it's about time you learnt another language.

Thanks Rubén! I'll be nice to Juan as your prize!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Hannah!

Some people are lucky enough to be born with talent. There are those who can sing. There are those who can put an outfit together well. There are even those who have the ability to string together insults beautiful. Hannah - the drawer of the above Jessica Fletcher - is so lucky that she was born with ALL THREE of these talents. She can sing. She can wear fancy clothes and not look like a douchebag. She can even use some form of alchemy to come up with upsetting insults like "Fannyface," in the blink of an eye.

So yeah. Hannah totally sent this in through the post. We used to work together but now we don't but I will see her soon for lunch.

Thanks Hannah! Seriously. Lunch?

Jessica Fletcher Week: Roll Credits

One of my favourite things about Murder She Wrote is the way each episode ends - with someone saying a little funny and everyong, Jessica included, all laughing until someone presses the FREEZEFRAME button and the credits roll. So, what better way to start saying a fond farewell to Jessica Fletcher Week than with a comic about these moments?

UPDATE: Someone has already made a mini compilation of these end bits on YouTube. I love the Internet!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Poem By Amber!

So, this may or may not be the last sent in Fletcher - and it's a bit of a change of tone.

For a start, it's a poem. Yes - A POEM! Secondly, it's a poem about Angela Lansbury rather than Jessica Fletcher...but that is officially okay since it's brilliant and the last half is pretty much dedicated to Jessica Fletcher.

FUN FACT: Amber and I used to work together and now we don't but I still think she's swell.

My life with Angela:

As a child

In Bedknobs and Broomsticks she rode
Cross the seas on a four-post transport mode
I learnt the word 'Hexen'
A helluva lesson
Good old Ange down on Portabello Road

As a teen

She appeared in my life in two guises:
Singing teapot and doyenne of exercises.
Wrapped in a towel
Helping Nans shake off jowls
And bringing tears to my eyes with reprises.

As an adult

Just when I thought I'd got the measure of Lansbury
She fulfilled all my dreams and my fantasies
A lady detective!
A writer! Great dress sense!
The role model women all aspire to be.

As Jessica Fletcher she rose
to high heights with daytime mystery prose
I'm glad I'm not related
Her bloodline is ill fated
but it means story-lines happen in droves

At a visit from writer J.B. Fletcher
Amos Tupp and Dr. Seth become lechers
To all miscreants, psychopaths,
Wrong-doers, Manslayers...
In Cabot Cove dear old Fletcher'll getcha!

Thanks Amber! I will pay you back with a cake!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Richard!

At the UK Web and Comix Thing last year I met someone called Richard. He had a beard and gave me money in exchange for comics. How exciting! However, Richard then laughed (via a comic of all things) at the lack of depth perception in my comics and I cried and then I never saw him again.

UNTIL JESSICA FLETCHER WEEK!

Thanks Richard!

Jessica Fletcher Week: The List

I was saving this one for tomorrow but I'm sleepy and might as well post it now.

Lots of people think that Jessica Fletcher commits all the murders herself. I wouldn't like to comment on such matters...but I'd hate to be the person to rumble her if that is the case.

Also! Check this out:

Jessica Fletcher Week: Magnum PI!

There's a double-bill spectacular where Magnum PI and Jessica Fletcher totally team up to solve crimes and get a little flirty.

There is NOT a double-bill spectacular where Stalin and Jessica Fletcher totally team up to solve crimes and get a little flirty.

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Anna!

Watch out Murders! Jessica Fletcher is totally going to solve you with her Magnifying Glass of Miracles and her Sleuthing Coat (with matching hat). You cannot escape unsolved! Jessica Fletcher has her eagle eyes trained on you!

These are the thoughts that run through my mind after looking at this amazing Jessica Fletcher sent in by the lovely Anna. Anna and I met in the same shop where I met Dick Hogg. Like Dick, Anna GETS PAID REAL MONEY by REAL PEOPLE to make REAL THINGS! Plus, like Dick, she's 100% nice.

Thanks Anna! I will take you to a museum to say thanks!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Jonathan

Sorry for the late update but it turned out that today was Saturday and I tried to spend a little time away from Mister Computer. I hope you won't be too angry. I have some amazing Jessica Fletcher drawings to upload if that helps? I mean, it *is* Jessica Fletcher Week after all...

This sinister Jessica Fletcher has been sent in by Jonathan who runs a blog called I Suck At Drawing. WHAT A LIAR! You can't send in a Jessica Fletcher of such brilliance and then be all "boo hoo - I can't draw. Please pity me." Pfffft.

Jonathan gets bonus points for including the Sleuthing Coat!

Thanks Jonathan! I will get you Pop Tarts as a reward!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A New Mystery!

Wow! I've just uploaded a fair few Jessica Fletchers for Jessica Fletcher Week. One of them even had a boob out! Goodness! All the excitment has knackered me out.

G'night!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Montage By Eli

"Yes, that's right. Eat them up, sexy. If you want more, I'll get them."

Oh Eli. I get the impression that you're not really a big Jessica Fletcher fan, eh? Either that or you're a bit of a feeder who totally gets off on watching ladies eat large quantities of food...

I don't know much about Eli. And by 'I don't know much about Eli,' I actually mean 'I don't know anything about Eli.' Regardless, I'm pleased he took the time to construct the above Jessica Fletcher and even composed a quote for it.

Thanks Eli! You are great! Probably!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Theo!

BOOB ALERT!

BOOB ALERT!

BOOB ALERT!

 

Jessica Fletcher! You brazen hussy! We all love you and your uncanny ability to solve/commit all sorts of murders but really! No one needs to see your boob!

This awe-inspiring Jessica Fletcher was sent in by a man called Theo. I only met Theo on Wednesday (it's Friday today!) and I spent most of that meeting talking about my love of computer games and generally making a tit of myself. Clearly I made such an impression that Theo thought used this as his inspiration for a slightly spooky Jessica Fletcher...with a nork on display.

I'm sorry if you have nightmares after seeing this (don't look her in the eyes!) but I'm not sorry that Theo made this because it's pretty amazing.

Thanks Theo! I will pay you back with comics and the like!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Shey!

I know that many people think of Jessica Fletcher sittng behind her typewriter whilst solving crimes...but not Shey! Oh no - Shey sees Ms Fletcher as a tea-chugging sexpot with an eye for crime and another eye for a well-planned outfit.

I don't actually know Shey outside of an email context but that doesn't matter when the end result is a Jessica Fletcher this great!

Thanks Shey! Keep up the good work!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Eileen!

Another  awesome Fletcher winging its way to me from a lovely work person. In this case, we have Eileen's popculture mash-up of Jessica Fletcher hosting Crimewatch!

Eileen is totally onto something - Jessica Fletcher would be a brilliant host for any crime-related television show. I mean, if it was live then you could tune in for 45 minutes and see her be told about crimes (especially murders) which she would then solve. LIVE! ON TELEVISION! WITH JESSICA FLETCHER!

Hello my new favourite television show!

Thanks Eileen! I will read you a poem over the phone as your prize.

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Mike!

The flowing locks. The sultry eyes. The pouty pout. Why yes, it could only be Jessica Fletcher! This Warhol-inspired Jessica Fletcher was sent in by Mike. I know! Mike sent me a Jessica Fletcher!

This is a big deal for me because Mike and I used to work together and then we didn't and then his leg exploded and I worry about him and then he SENT ME A JESSICA FLETCHER! Hooray!

Thanks Mike! I'll be seeing you soon to return the favour.

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Carly!

Bugger me! Today has been a crazy day in Jessica Fletcher Week. I have been pestering lots of people at work so I've got all sorts of drawings to post. Also - someone even wrote a poem!

First up - here we have a Jessica Fletcher made by Carly. Carly and I work together and I think we make a pretty awesome team. The only downside is that she got confused and gave Jessica Fletcher a broom because Angela Lansbury was in Bedknobs or Broomsticks... It's an easy mistake to make but it's still a mistake.

Thanks Carly! I will get you some apple juice as a prize!

Jessica Fletcher Week: Underwear

I'm pretty sure that I once watched a great episode of Murder She Wrote where some young studmuffin was totally working his way through the loose ladies of Cabot Cove. And obviously he totally tried his manly charm on Cabot Cove's sleuthing siren - Ms. Jessica Fletcher.

I mean, you would - wouldn't you?

So, he's massaging her back and shoulders after a hard day at the typewriter and Jessica is about to give into her Mills and Boon-fuelled desires BUT THE DOORBELL RINGS! Phew - a narrow escape! She can totally get back to solving crimes now.

I don't know how the episode ended (or even if I just imagined the whole thing) BUT you totally know that if Jessica Fletcher heard of a man breaking into a house, she'd so try it on with him. Hence the above comic.

Happy Jessica Fletcher Week everyone!

Jessica Fletcher Week: A Drawing By Geoff!

You know how there are some things that are just universally regarded as being brilliant? Well - this drawing combines two of them - in this case it's Jessica Fletcher and Optimus Prime the Transformer. If it has also involved a unicorn then it would have been put in a time capsule so future generations could marvel at it...

Everyone loved Transformers - even me. My favourites were the Dinobots and the evil ones that transformed into construction thingys. Oh and Soundwave too with his evil cassettes. "Watch out guys - that cassette is totally gonna get you!"

I did often worry though. Technology advances terribly quickly, right? Today's Wii is tomorrow's Spectrum ZX or whatever. So, what happens to the really early Transformers - the ones that transform into really obsolete things like a Ford Model T or that phone from The Matrix with the flip down panel? Do they just go back home or retire or something? You can't really be an undercover robot when what you turn into Pager. FAIL. Although it never bothered Soundwave and his cassette army did it?

ANYWAYS! This Jessica Fletcher was sent in by Geoff - the best animator ever.



Thanks Geoff! I'll pay you back someday!
