Pantalettas

Every year there's a great used-book sale to benefit our local library. And when the sale is over, it's free book time.  I love this town.
Last round, Arkonbey found this little treasure, which I haven't really referred to much but it's one that's rather amusing to have in the home library.  I keep hoping it will inspire me to make something awesome.
This one is a "detail from 'The Ladies Accelerator' showing pantalettes, 1819."




Here's an artist who could really do good with material like this:  Kate Beaton.  Peruse the Hark a Vagrant archive! 
ALSO:  if you're in Portland Maine this weekend, do yourself a favor and go to the Maine Comics Festival!  FIVE BUCKS = A BARGAIN, people!


So, there you go.  Underwear & comics.
