Sen noci svatojánské (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) (1959) dir. Jirí Trnka “In the past, just as today, the stars were shining in the sky. It was in 1594, and the poet William Shakespeare was writing a comedy about slumber on a summer night.”

Pride and Prejudice (but with ducks, trust me it’s better)

Grab your popcorn guys this is gonna be long, I decided to sum up the whole parody of Pride and Prejudice that was published this year in italian Topolino

here we go,

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Art: Stefano Turconi

Texts: Teresa Radice

(aka best duo in comic history)

We start with Jane Austen herself (her duck self to be precise) telling to her friend about her new book with the aforementioned title!

Then we meet our protagonists!

The wonderful family Pennet, living in suburban England, with Jane (Paperetta / Dickie Duck) and Elizabeth (Daisy) being the eldest daughters

The family usually hangs out at their neighbour’s, Fethry Bingpap’s lavish parties, with Bingpap and Jane developping mutual feelings

At the party we also meet Bingpap’s sister Amelia (Magica De Spell) and

Donald Ducky!

(yes, Donald keeps that look on his face until the very end)

The contrast between the two friends’ characters is very evident

And here we have Duckcy’s and Elizabeth’s first moment! (boy, everything happens at that party)

Yoni and lingam yantra by Mukti Singh Thapa, Nepal

In the film “Ever After” the character of the “Grand Dame”  at the beginning is said to be Marie Therese Charlotte, Duchesse d’Angouleme, daughter of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

She says that:

“ My great-great-grandmother’s portrait hung in the university up until the Revolution.”

While I am WELL AWARE the movie is obviously a work of fiction, I felt like pointing out that Prince Henry is supposed to be Henry II, who married Catherine de Medici, who was not one of her great, great grandmothers.

(Catherine was still related to her though, since she and Henry’s daughter, Claude, was Marie Therese’s great X5 grandmother. Twice over. Royalty had a shallow gene-pool guys. Therese was also descended from Catherine/Henry’s eldest daughter, Elisabeth too, who was her great X7 grandmother. It’s highly likely there are other lines of descent too *see my previous comment about shallow gene-pools*, but these were the most direct.)

Here are portraits of the women who were actually the Duchesse d’Angouleme’s Great, Great Grandmothers:

Marie Adelaide of Savoy, Dauphine of France

Catherine Opalińska, Queen of Poland

Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, Queen of Poland

Wilhelmine Amalia of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Holy Roman Empress

Eleanor of Austria, Queen of Poland

Elisabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, Duchesse d’Orleans

Eleonor Magdalene of Neuburg, Holy Roman Empress

Christine Louise of Oettingen-Oettingen,  Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg

great tv recommendations: stag  ↳ "What happens over the next 72 hours will change us as men. We will be defined by our time in these hills, on these heaths. And when we get home, we will say - to people that we trust and without giving away too many details - that we saw off our friend in style. That this was the stag to end all stags!“
