The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Aerys Sports.

Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.

Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).

Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.

I'm stuck at a bridge and I have this old codger asking me the flight velocity of an unladen swallow... What am I supposed to tell him?

Well, if you answer with a question in return, he might get confused and flung off if he doesn’t know the answer, so that might work, at least.

I need to watch this movie again. It’s been too long since I have.

I made a new version of my silly walks clock! I updated the graphics a bit, and used a clock as base. You might possibly, maybe, perhaps, at some point in the future, find this version for sale in an Etsy shop. Keep an eye out just in case you don’t feel like making it yourself :). You can find the tutorial for the original here: http://sillywalkclock.blogspot.se/

I NEED THIS HERE’S MY WALLET

Two more. It was really hard to find some with Terry Gilliam because he appears so rarely.

This is my personal favorite performance, though.

Here’s my index post - basically, this is where you’ll find links to all of the people I’ve drawn so far…and the ones people have said I should draw (and will draw once I get to ‘em!).

  • Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (and together, of course)
  • Everyone remotely involved with Monty Python in its various incarnations
  • Noel Fielding
  • Julian Barratt
  • Stephen Fry
  • Hugh Laurie
  • David Mitchell
  • Jimmy Carr

Now I need all of you to keep adding to this list as I draw, okay? I want to draw as many people as I possibly can here!

So here I am, reaaaaally getting back into British comedy because it’s one of the reasons I have my writing style, and I’m thinking, “Hey, you should draw all of these men and women who inspire you so much!” So I think I shall.

It’s fairly obvious that Peter Cook and Dudley Moore make the list because they’re my absolute favorites, but I want to draw a bunch of people - in fact, as many as I possibly can. So here’s the deal: you tell me who your favorite British comedians are, and I put them on paper. I’m pretty sure I’ll end up drawing the Pythons, because everyone loves them, but let’s see who else I should draw…

Who makes your list?
