Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Collar and Cuffs ~ Page 19
Oh Butler, how do you come out with something so sad and somehow turn it into something sassy.
I swear to gawd I’m never drawing someone with handcuffs behind their back ever again this chapter has been the most awkward set of poses. One more page and then it’s onward to DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING aka UTTER FILTH AND DEPRAVITY
hey Tab, just wanted to let you know that it looks like page 17 is missing from the archive?

Fixed- it was a date issue after I had to revert to a backup this weekend!

NOW BRING ON THE DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING!
Haha excellent first comment :D
DOUBLE THE EXCITEMENT, DOUBLE THE FUN
I have a little concern about the age gap, given that “I have spent most of my life caring for him” line? Was Boy like… a child when Jefferson and John arrived? Because O_o
It’s under my understanding that he was the family butler, passed down to James when he came of age and was able to inherit his own estate. John joined afterwards, when they needed a handyman to fix up the house James moved into: http://www.discordcomics.com/comic/sir-butler-and-boy-morning-ablutions-page-7/
So for all we know, Jefferson was there serving the Family before James was even born. I mean, Jefferson would’ve been much younger himself (maybe the age James is now?) but yeah.
He’s about 15 years older than him but nothing happened until after James was 21 (of age) and they were in the current house.
Watching him grow up just adds to Jefferson’s guilt complex about the entire thing.
Poor Jefferson. But I suspect he’d feel guilty even if he hadn’t watched James grow up. Dear Butler seems to enjoy his angst a bit. And I probably wouldn’t like him as much if he were all happy hunky-dory about this situation.
Oh, I totally got that Boy was much older when he started to be part of their “games.” I wanted to stress the “coming of age” bit because I know that means both “old enough to own a house” and “old enough for BONE ZONE.”
