So the Spades are the 1960s, and the Diamonds are the Middle Ages. Around 1400-1500. Although it wasn’t in my original plan, I ended up drawing quite a bit of inspiration for the illustrations in this suit from Kenneth Branagh’s feature film interpretation of Henry V (love that movie!). I admit, I didn’t think too hard about the peculiar mental image of Zan as an English monarch able to inspire troops with a rousing speech (“We few… we happy few”), and then go on to emerge victorious from the Battle of Agincourt. You probably shouldn’t, either!
“And gentlemen in England now a-bed; Shall think themselves accursed… Hey wait, I’ve got a great idea!!”
“You see! It imitates the action of the Tiger, and…”
“But I put the all the soldiers back the way I found them!!!”
Have a good and safe show!!
