"There's a huge fly in my room," replied Oscar, "a great buzzing fly. I can't sleep till I drive it out...!"

This is a request from ~Sen-Graham-McGrath . She asked if I still had the comic of Oscar Milde vs. Buzzing Fly from my old GMD website back in 2000, which I did, and if I could re-post it, saying it made her laugh during time she was ill. Naturally, I can't say no to that, so here it is:

After reading David Coakley's biographical book of Oscar Wilde: The Importance of Being Irish, there was a small snippet that had me rolling, which was humourously recollected by an army officer who had been at Trinity College with the real-life Oscar Wilde:One night we heard a frightful row in his room. Myself and another man rushed to his door. He was half dressed and jumping about the floor. 'What on earth is the matter?" we asked. "There's a huge fly in my room," replied Oscar, "a great buzzing fly; I can't sleep till I drive it out!"It was an excuse to draw my character of Oscar Milde in a light to which I haven't done. Usually, he's always collected and charming, but here — I could draw him belligerent (for the first time ever) and in a silly nightie (yet another first)! There's something adorable about it...

This is the final comic. Personally, I like the conceptuals better, but my art instructor chose these poses and I didn't think they were as dynamic as the original poses. Please note that this is an old piece, so please, please be gentle...
