Pride and Prejudice, the Pachyderm and Feline Versions

October 21, 2009 by Vic

During the 2007-2008 holidays, artist and cartoonist Paula J. Becker watched Pride and Prejudice movies nonstop, from the 1940’s version, to the 1980’s and the mammoth 1995 Colin Firth adaptation. When she finished viewing P&P 2005, she was inspired to draw Mr. Darcy and Lizzy at a ball. What fun she must have had! You will recognize Ms Becker’s style, for you have most likely seen her cartoons in greeting cards and her artwork in children’s books.

LOL, what fun cartoons! But I object, Darcy doesn’t look much taller than Lizzy (I know he’s bowing, but…)
