Watched Father Brown, this one didn’t mess me up so bad because the only death was a lawyer just turned judge.. Sid came back for an episode after he’d spent time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. The lawyer made judge based on bungling his case but was then murdered by someone else when he had a change of heart and was going to tell the truth. Sid was framed for the murder and father brown had to clear him and save Sid from the gallows and despair. Sid still leaves, he isn’t welcome in the new mix for Doylist reasons but leaves to work things out and not thrash about hurting his loved ones for Watsonian reasons (Doyle being the author and Watson being the character, there are external story reasons and internal story reasons, you see).

Today’s word was ‘disease’ and the Inktober prompt was ‘crispy’, so I drew some fried chicken and wrote a character stub inspired by the sketch, here.

I started out with (50/49), Short Order Cook- 50 and Caricature Artist- 49,and decided the character is a business person and ‘unofficial mayor’, (34/34) Run A Business- 34 and Teach Skills- 34, (40/39) Preach Good News- 40 and Make Peace- 39. This guy(?) runs a diner which is known for the best fried chicken in the state. He started out as a short order cook, drew people on the side and worked to become a manager, teacher and herder of cats before taking the business over. He got things done, though, and became the guy to see when you needed to get a traffic light, get that pothole fixed, and wanted to corral popular support for a candidacy. He went from unofficial mayor to county king-maker to shadow Governor.. Governor Good News? Gary Novak, or Newcomb, a guy you can trust, a guy who gives a damn.
