![]() Let the ear be damaged! Mar Ladd’s mug! Every time Ladd looks in a mirror in the months after the bandages are off, he should be brought right back to that moment of his “great humiliation"-when he stared down the barrel of a gun held by a man who has condemned him to live with the indignity of his life truly being spared. Forget the physical damage how about emotional damage?Ĭlaire shot Ladd’s ear with the express purpose of humiliating Ladd. Or perhaps Narita and Enami collectively forgot about the damage to Ladd’s ear, which I find funnier and less baffling than the possibility of Narita deliberately retconning the (severity of the) wound. What’s a missing chunk of flesh in an ear to a missing arm?īut all right, perhaps the damage to Ladd’s ear wasn’t as bad as “blown away” implies. I get that Ladd’s prosthetic arm steals the spotlight, but I feel like the prison guard who talks about Ladd in Volume 8 would have mentioned a misshapen ear… Then again, I guess it is the sort of thing one would mention if Ladd had both arms. You know, considering how Ladd’s ear is intact in other illustrations. There’s amusement to be had in how none of the post-Volume 3 Baccano! LN illustrations of Ladd reflect how “part of his right ear was blown away” until, like, that one Volume 22 illustration of him and Chané-and even then I’m wondering if the triangular absence of flesh is actually just an exaggerated indendation of the lobe relative to the rest of the auricle. Tagged as the court jester Angela Lansbury she has left behind such a legacy on screen and stage Get it? Got it? Good. Angela Lansbury, as the photos might convey, was quite something at only 30 years old-though of course she’d already had a decade of experience on the screen. All in all, a wonderful effect of fairy-tale glamour from Edith Head!Īs I always say, but with greater emphasis today: watch The Court Jester. She wears it with a couple of slight variations: one look has a formal crown and ermine-edged cape, while the other has a smaller, more delicate crown with no cape.Ĭareful observation shows some glossy spots on the fabric of the main part of the dress, and possibly a few silver sequins(?) on the filmy trailing sleeves. This blue dress is cut very much along the lines of the green dress for Maid Jean that was featured in December, only it manages to be even more opulent with the silver-and-sapphire belt and trim.
