Here are 10 things you should know about Dooley Wilson, born 140 years ago today. He enjoyed success on Broadway and in vaudeville, cabaret and pictures.
Based on this sketch, and on the idea of the Casablanca cast getting transported/isekai’d to a fantasy realm, and me wanting an excuse to draw 17th century inspired clothing - voilà
From left to right: Ugarte dressed up nicely with the assasin’s guild emblem next to him, Rick and Sam in their 17th century tuxedos and the emblem of Sam’s café/tavern in between them, Captain Renault as flashy as he deserves to be with the guardsman’s emblem, and Ilsa Lund with her coat of arms. It was a fun drawing this!
