This is the 10th year since I saw "Lady Oscar" as a conscious kid ... of 11 years old, about to start middle school.
I was just starting to obsess over the French Revolution (and genuinely thinking Marie Antoinette was nutty, at the point of reading Fraser's biography only because there was Louis in it!).
When I re-discovered that cartoon, I was amazed - it was the same period in which I watched "Elisa di Rivombrosa" ... only for the costumes (I found XVIII Century fashion funny because "guys wore lacy shirts and nightgowns and kept their hair long as they were girls!") - but also got incredibly bored by all the whining over Fersen, since I preferred Louis since when I started to recognize the main historical characters (the Royals and Robespierre: I realized about the existence of the others in the first year of High School, when I watched the two-parter movie about the French Revolution with Brandauer).
I still remember that my favorite episode was the one in which Louis XV gets smallpox (I didn't knew how much of a "standard deadly illness" was back then and mistook it for chickenpox until I read what it really was on an encyclopedia and encountered it in many other books about that time period) and Louis XVI becomes King.
May I consider your drawing as the milestone for this anniversary?

With me it was almost the same I watched it as a kid, felt sorry for Oscar&André and sadly also for Madame Putain and Fersen. But at this time I believed that Oscar and everything in this series was real and exactly like it was in reality.. BIG mistake! Years later when I was 21/22 I re-watched it and fell totally in love with Louis. I was curious if he really was all that shy and clumsy etc so I took a look on the real figures of that part of french history. And yapp! I was so shocked what a ******* ugly MA was (in the opposite to the glorified Anime/Manga version) and what a handsome bastard Louis really was!
BUT at this time I wanted to give MA a chance, 'cause just she was ugly doesn't mean that she had an ugly heart too, right? (unfortunately she had, but well...) So my first book was Stefan Zweig, Haslip, Lever and after I already switched the sides, I had read Fraser's. To be honest I didn't know if I should laugh or cry while reading her "biography"....
La Révolution Francaise is the nest movie which was ever made! EVEN IF it has some mistakes as well Jean-Francois Balmer as my darling was simply brilliant!!!!
To be honest I actually have no fav episode of the series... maybe just the one, yes, where Louis XVI. became king too and when you see the coronation, apart from this I just love single scenes with him and his children ofc, even if the most of them aren't true...:S
But thanks a lot dear, glad you like my doodles^^

I was 10 I discovered the French Revolution, starting from a self-resarch prompt about the real French Royal family (I was obsessed with a cartoon called "Totò Sapore e la magica storia della Pizza" in which there was a pretty ridiculous Royal Family): I loved watching pictures from an encyclopedia with a lens taken from a bug magnifier for determine Louis' hair color (that, from an old beheading painting, looked "golden brown" to me).
Then, I watched two documentaries about the French Revolution (both on the History Channel) when I was 11: seeing the satyrical engravings about Marie Antoinette's wigs made me laugh (a 2 mt. high wig with a ship in it ... it was funny throught the eyes of an 11 years old and it's still funny today!). I never thought Louis was stupid: if someone was an huge History and Geography buff (like Louis), surely isn't a stupid person (at least, to my eyes)!
The Actual first time I saw Lady Oscar, I was around 4/5 years old (really young ... I don't even think I was understanding what was going on!) ... and my aunt claims that I liked Louis even back then. The time I rewatched it realizing what was going on was when I was 11 (the one in which I was watching Elisa di Rivombrosa too ...).
I want to make you a question: I read that Louis XVI was a lefty ... knowing that, until some decades ago, teachers smacked lefty children's hands, I wonder: did he still wrote with his left hand or his teacher obligated him to write with the right one?
