🇬🇧 William Claude Rains took a hiatus from acting when WW1 broke out and volunteered to serve in the London Scottish Regiment. In November of 1916, he was wounded in a gas attack at Vimy. He lost 90% of vision in his right eye and suffered vocal cord damage. He never returned to combat, but continued to serve with the Bedfordshire Regiment. By the end of the war, he had risen to the rank of captain.

Arthur is ticking off The Sergeant, who is one of the main antagonists from my cartoon, Arthur McBride. John Jenkins and Darby are both worried for Arthur, knowing that he is probably going to get clobbered.😆 Angus on the other hand can’t help but chuckle to himself. He takes pleasure in seeing Arthur irritating The “Ol’ Haggis”.

Here’s some drawings that I did a while back of my OC, Arthur McBride. The cartoon with his name as the title was the first cartoon that I stuck with for years. My style for these characters used to be different years ago, but I think this midcentury modern one was an improvement.

Anyway, this series was based on an actual Irish folk song about a man named Arthur McBride and his cousin who are confronted by a Sergeant of The British Army who ended up trying to force them to enlist. The song ended with a cliffhanger, but I thought hey, what if The Sergeant did end up forcing them into the Army and then Arthur tries to get The Sergeant to boot him out by driving him insane.😆 I then ended up adding a couple more friends for him, a rival, and added more to the stories as well. I originally had them in an all cartoon animal universe, but then I changed it, and now there are humans in the universe as well.

This is a drawing of a logo I made for my Arthur McBride cartoon, with some of the characters around it. This is only my second post on here, but you can see more of my artwork on Instagram, Deviantart and Cara. My username is IrishBeckyCartoons on all of them just like on here.(I’m actually American, but I’m obsessed with my Irish heritage)
