This week in Marvel Podcast: Benedict Cumberbatch and Steven Moffat

sherlockology:

Recorded just before last month’s PBS preview screening of Sherlock Season Two in New York City, Marvel.com Editorial Director Ryan “Agent M” Penagos talks to Steven Moffat, Sue Vertue, and Benedict Cumberbatch in the weekly Marvel podcast. [MP3 format]

Not only is the podcast a very entertaining listen, but it also contains the following exchange, during a chat about a peculiar Marvel Comic featuring super-powered animals:

Steven Moffat: You could be Otterman!
[laughter in studio]
Benedict Cumberbatch: Yeah, I could be Otterman. Otterboy!

Cue me being flabbergasted for the 587th time this month! It seems I have unwittingly unleashed an unstoppable monster upon the world…

Here are the Cumberotters being discussed on TMZ (a celebrity news show on US TV). Bizarrely, they even scroll down my Tumblr on screen, which only goes to show how desperate the world is for entertainment.

Someone needs to tell the presenter guy at the very end that nasty ableist comments about Stephen Hawking are not the way to look witty on TV. The piece is nonetheless worth watching for footage of Benedict himself being good-natured but bemused at what looks like an airport taxi rank.

I’ve had requests to post some of my older art on here, and since I have some new followers (hello there!) who are still discovering my non-otter-related stuff, it seems like a good time to do so. These are things that have already been widely Tumblr’d, but in the days before I had a Tumblr myself, so this is their first “legit” posting by yours truly. First up, the cocktail menu from Bar Sherlock, first drawn in September 2010! View high resolution

Benedict Cumberbatch - VH1’s Big Morning Buzz interview, 02/05/2012

The topic of otters comes up at around the 5:30 mark!

I confess, I find it HILARIOUS that he questions the fact that the first two Otterbatch pics don’t quite match up in terms of hand positioning. I remember dithering a bit over the flat hands/curving hands distinction, but by that point, I’d spent much longer staring at pictures of otters than any sane person ever should, and told myself “Oh, that’ll do, nobody will notice the difference.” Of course, at that point I had no idea that thousands and thousands of people were going to be looking at it, including Mr C himself. Whoops.

So I’m sorry, Benedict. If it’s any consolation, it seems we’re both pedants. You’re just more skilled at it than I am!

I must have been studying otters before I did Sherlock because there’s a *chuckles* huge similarity.

I’m otterly gobsmacked

According to this interview in the New York Times (see page 2), Benedict Cumberbatch has seen my post about the otters who look like him, and says they are “brilliant” and “fantastic”.

That noise you can hear is me fainting very, very loudly.

Sherlock road signs: because not everything else is transport…

Probably the most atrocious Sherlock pun you’ll see all day. Sorry.

Above, a genuine street sign near Baker Street. Below, the image that pops into my head whenever I see it.

It’s Easter weekend so I’m shamelessly reblogging a piece of my own Sherlock art, because BUNNIES.
