Autistic Mordecai Heller - Tumblr Posts

A little Procreate sketch of young Mordecai Heller looking over his shoulder with unusually wide eyes and furrowed brows.

I think Mordecai would have gone through that autistic child phase of making piercing eye contact with anyone who talks to you because your parents told you to look people in the eye and you haven’t yet figured out how much is too much.

anyway, I’ve only had Lackadaisy for a few days, but I’m already one of the leading experts of notable 1920s cat gangsters

Mordecai’s character profile card on the Lackadaisy website. The artwork is inspired by the cover of a detective novel. Mordecai is depicted in a trenchcoat, walking through a dark alleyway, adjusting his hat with one hand and holding a gun in the other.
A screenshot of Mordecai in the animated pilot, sitting in darkness in the backseat of a car. His narrow eyes are a stark bright green.
A Lackadaisy panel of Zulie touching Mordecai’s shoulder and saying, “Stay a little longer. We have something for you.” At the same time, Mordecai whips around with a startled expression and says, “Miss, please don’t touch-”
A panel of Mordecai standing with two flappers with a weirded-out expression on his face. Their conversation reads:
Woman: What? She’s not good enough for you? You can’t be polite about it?
Mordecai: Excuse me?
Woman: She asked you to dance, and you didn’t even-
Mordecai: She didn’t ask me to dance, she asked me what it looked like.
Woman: What? What’s the matter with you?
The next panel has Mordecai looking flabbergasted.
A Lackadaisy panel of Asa Sweet and Mordecai at the Maribel hotel. Mordecai (in a very darling suit, might I add) stands with his hands clasped neatly behind his back and tells Asa, “Since we’re on the topic of my corhorts, I wanted to discuss our agenda. I prefer knowing in advance what’s next.”

May I present Mordecai Heller, the coolest cat in St. Louis! Most of the time. Whenever anyone looks past his frigid, ruthless reputation as St. Louis’s deadliest gunman, Mordecai does not know what to do with himself. Listen, he’s a master at being intimidating, and he is extremely professional and dedicated to the job. But he’s not good with people in any casual environment, and he is very particular about anything on his body and everything around him, and he will leave the room if someone is eating because he can hear them chewing and he can hear their teeth scraping against their fork and he can hear them swallowing and he is now going to claw his own face off. So… in that case… happy autism acceptance month. With Mordecai. Uh, good day.
