Making History: Jane + Jo-Beth

Description

A fanart about the novel "Making History", written by Stephen Fry ("Blackadder", "Oscar Wilde", "A bit of Fry & Laurie" ) in 1996.

You see here:
Jane (left half).
She's main character Michaels girlfriend at first but soon is fed up with him.
She has Jewish roots and Michael describes her as a woman who looks like from Italy or Spain.
She works as a chemist and is two years older than Michael. She also seems to be a little bitchy.

Jo-Beth (right half).
She only appears in the parallel universe Michael and professor Leo Zuckermann created (after preventing Adolf Hitlers birth). She works as a waitress and serves Michael and his friend Steve breakfast.

When I started reading this novel I wasn't thinking about that it would fascinate me that much that I would draw some fanarts about it and immediately would order more books written by Fry. It's that good.

Okay, it's not the best novel I have ever read in my life, sure. And Fry won't become my favourite novelist #1.
But "Making History" is great, for some reasons.
Once, there are the loveable and plausible characters (except for the nazis in the flashback scenes of course ;)).
Then there's the plot: how would the world look like if Adolf Hitler would have never existed at all? Would there be no holocaust, no World War II?
Of course, to me there are about hundreds or thousands of theories. This one actually turns out to be surprising.
And you probably can't deny the fact that Stephen Fry is not only a talented actor, comedian...but also a very good writer.

Anyway: I was feeling like drawing something about this novel.
If you have too much time or no idea what to read: try this one ;)

Drawn with pencil.
