Robert Altman’s movie M*A*S*H (1970) was released in theaters 55 years ago today! The anti-war, dark comedy set in the Korean War did better than expected at the box office, and it spawned the television series, M*A*S*H, that aired for 11 seasons on CBS.
As I lay in bed sick and dream of bred I'm not allowed to make cause I might cough on it, today on MASH quotes that hit me in feels:
This is from Charles Emerson Winchester III
Charles joined early in season six, replacing Major Burns, who was a stuck up, all American asshole. Major Burns served as a reoccurring "antagonist" or target for the shows pranks, and to some degree so did Charles. Unlike Burns, however, Charles proved himself to not only be a competent surgeon but to hold real character
There are a lot of things he's said which blend the line between heartwarming and saddening, when he is not busy being an elite snob, but the one that's really striking me into the feels is:
---Charles Emerson Winchester III, from an episode I could not find the name of in my quick search
Any any I'm gonna rewatch MASH

yee fr, it's trapper john and daniel pierce (hawkeye's dad!!!) from mash! couple people (i and couple mash moots) kept "yes and ???" ing ourselves into a gorgeous (crack)ship and I've,,,, I've drawn some things on Procreate. I based Daniel on Robert Alda+my generic old man drawing tendencies so he is a bit... out there. But whatever, our playground, our rules. So here's couple basic sketches of that sweet old man+some sorta four panel pseudocomic w/ Trapper and Hawkeye.
Put a reason in my ask.
what would you do if i was dying? would you hold me and let me die in your arms, or would you just let me lay there and bleed?
kinda-sorta redraw of this that i drew for the 40th anniversary of GFA -- i think i've improved a little in the 2 years since! plus i wanted to try more of klimt's style <3
