Description
...Chapter two of Scarlet PI.And if you think that Scarlet's backwoods Southern accent is pronounced, you should hear "Stewfixings". Pippkin Ducaine's a Lop-Eared English Rabbit not unlike Orochi from [link] , and Pippkin's 'Proper' English accent is deep enough to warrant a diffrent font in his word balloons.
BTW, 50 Whuffie Points to whoever could give me the refrence where I got Pippkin's 'nickname,' which of course he hates.

... I thought only British orphans said "guv'nor."
Like Oliver Twist.

Uh... hm. Define a 'proper English accent'. The British Isles have at least a dozen distinct dialects and accents.
Is Pipkin meant to be working-class English or upper-class English? He looks like he's meant to be upper-class, and you describe him as 'snooty'. A well-bred Englishman would definitely not say 'guv'nor' or 'blooming'.
Hell, both expressions are pretty much anachronisms now, more cliches than really accurate Britishisms.
And his surname is French? ^_-....
('Coming' is misspelt too, btw)

(Thanks for the edit. I'll make the change later)
I'm surprised that there are multiple versions of "English Accents," (and I've forgotten that Scotish Accents count). What I wanted to show in Pippkin Ducaine (You sure it's french? Another shocker. It was the last name that was the first picked up when me and Drew RPed some scenes with him) is a more common, or at least combined version of an English Gentlman. In the strips he'll be in, he'll come off as working-class in heart with an upper-class image. Also, I intend to study more on Britishisms in the comming weeks up to the strip when Pippkie gets delivered into the scene (Yes, he'll be in a box too)
Any and all assistance and web links to what a British accent should look like in text will be appreciated.
At least I have a tea part down pat. I hope.

*sigh*
The Ducane name history . Norman/Gaulish - 6th century. In other words, very very French. The addition of one 'i' is probably a common spelling variation among English-speakers.
O_o... you're SURPRISED at the number of accents? That's like a non-American thinking all Americans sound like Texans. Is Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins what you think an 'English' accent is? Geez, dude...
Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing what you'll do with Pipkin.
Do a search on 'britishisms', it'll take you 10 seconds to find reference.

I'm sure you'll like what the more finished version of Pippkin will be like.
And I'll see if I can get a better last name for the guy.
