so I'm finally reading The Three Musketeers! I've watched a lot of the film and show adaptions of it over the years, but I never actually read the novel. and hey! 2023! new year, new reading list! I checked out a couple translations of the books (including the other novels), and oh my god I'm having such a good time. I'll probably redesign everyone a few times as I continue to read it, but this scene made me laugh so I wanted to draw it

I really like the Inigo Montoya-style entrance D'Artagnan makes in the Musketeers series, but I do rather mourn his introduction to Les Inséparables as it was handled in the initial novel. It's just something so... hilarious? in-character? absurd?
I mean, the man legitimately just runs along a stretch of road and, in the process, pisses off no fewer than three Musketeers. And, most notably, the three Musketeers that happen to be the best of buds.
And then all three show up to the dueling site and they have their own version of that Spiderman meme:
---
“This is the gentleman I am going to fight with,” said Athos, pointing to D’Artagnan with his hand and saluting him with the same gesture.
“Why, it is with him I am also going to fight,” said Porthos.
“But not before one o’clock,” replied D’Artagnan.
“And I also am to fight with this gentleman,” said Aramis, coming in his turn onto the place.
“But not until two o’clock,” said D’Artagnan, with the same calmness.
---
Again, nothing against the show because I'm very fond of it, but I do rather miss the hilarity of this scene.

Revisiting my Musketeers era lol. When I was obsessed with them in my childhood I was very embarrassed to draw stuff I liked because I though people would make fun of me so it feels good to just try to doodle how I imagine Athos in the books?

Chapter XLV - "Scène conjugale"
A short comic from a scene I liked in the Three Musketeers, between Milady de Winter and Athos.
