I really hate that Peter Lorre's part in "They Met in Bombay" was another Yellowface role.

And no, not just because it's probably offensive.

Seeing pictures online, I initially thought he was just looking tired and grumpy. I was reminded of Marius in "Passage to Marseilles." Peter looks so cute in that Skipper getup. I was disappointed when I looked up the movie and realized this was another Yellowface role.

Nevertheless, I watched the movie, and took a few 'caps. The movie is a fun romp about two jewel thieves who team up, ruined by cringey racism, rapey "romance," and a completely tacked on BS ending obviously forced on by the Hayes Code.

Peter's role was especially frustrating. I love him so much as a quirky little sea captain, and in shots where the yellowface isn't obvious, he's absolutely adorable, in his too-big uniform and Feivel hat, crunching on his grouchy little half-cigarette.

The far-away shots have me excited to see Pete as a little seafaring scruff-muffin. It's a huge letdown to then see Peter's one-of-a-kind face hidden under some jarring Ming the Merciless makeup. Look at how adorable and impish PL still is underneath this stupid makeup, and think of the full-on cuteness we were denied.

But let's give a warm hand to that sailor in the back, channeling all of our feelings on this.

What did Hollywood have against letting Asian actors play Asian characters? And why is it that when Peter Lorre was finally allowed different roles from his usual typecasting, it was often in yellowface or brownface? Why couldn't an Asian play an Asian captain or secret agent? And why couldn't Peter play a captain or secret agent as his own ethnicity, with his own unique face?

Peter Lorre as Captain Chang ("They Met in Bombay," 1941), looking beautifully gruff & willing to dally for a good reason...

Turns out I really like DJ War Crimes and his weird little relationship with the Cuttlefish family. Drawing that last one was a mistake cause it made me think of my own grandpa and I got emotional over my drawing tablet would not recommend.

Okay but have we thought about how scary odysseus interacting with the gods /his knowledge about such things it must have been for his crew?

Its well known that odysseus is Athenas favorite, even before the Trojan war. But what does that look like from the outside? Are their conversations in some other plain? Does odysseus sometimes just glaze over and you just have to trust its a god speaking to him and not aome other fit? Out in the open? During the war odysseus was frequently doing really bizarre things on Athena's say so. Bit you also know your captain is a freak and lier so which is it this time? The gods will or odysseus just tucking with you? There's a little wariness there. But it's well known. And been like this forever.

But then you start encountering more monsters. More gods. They all talk to your captain. Your captain stops sleeping. Your go between for you and the captain starts committing crimes against the captain, starts bad mouthing him. More of your friends have died then in ten years of war. And every other day there's a new god talking to your captain. What mortal man has the interest of this many gods? What mortal man can get up in the gods faces to yell at them. What mortal man has the powers to overcome the witches they encounter the power to over turn gods spells? What mortal man's tongue is so gilded he convinces these powers to help them? And doubt comes creeping in.

Lorre's Cat Café: Skipper

Despite his permanent expression of disdain, Skipper is a massive suckup who will do anything for treats. Unfortunately he's not much of a hunter, as his presents tend to scurry off as soon as he drops them off. What he lacks in hunting he makes up for in seafaring; this is another cat who's at home on a boat. And he's so cute and grabable. But he also gives an air of knowing more than he's letting on.

A knockout! You guys have voted for me to draw and post the entirety of the House of Glass, so here's the next part that follows directly from this.

Love seeing fanart of scrawny black haired blue eyed kids in red hoodies every time I try to guess if it's Jason Todd or Billy Batson without looking at the tags and every time I'm wrong
