Consultingpiskies Said: I Would Guess That Either Tumblr Is Forcing The Ratio Or The File Size Is Too

consultingpiskies said: I would guess that either tumblr is forcing the ratio or the file size is too big for the dash view. Is the file size larger than what you upload and/or is the aspect ratio different? Though it might also be that tumblr’s being weird.

Thanks! I don't *think* it's an aspect ratio thing (after a quick google to check that i definitely understood what that meant!), but it could feasibly be a jumboriffic file size ... (I probably should have added that this wasn't really an issue until I got a new scanner that I haven't really got to grips with yet, so... could be entirely down to user error/ineptitude)

It is a perfectly cromulent word :)

(I don’t think I’ve ever been described as a national treasure before... *blush*)

Edited to add - I am officially putting this down to ‘Tumblr being weird’. Tried different file formats, different sizes ... nothing. *grumblegrumblegrumble*

Right, technical question … why is it that one might have a perfectly good, non-pixellated scan of, for argument’s sake, tomorrow’s episode of the Adventures of Mrs Hudson, which, when viewed from the Tumblr dashboard, is all pixellated?

It’s then not pixellated if one embiggenates it or views it from the blog itself.

Is it just because it’s greyscale line art or …?

Asking for a friend.

Im Australian know what Battenberg is! Mainly because I'm a moderately veteran baker and inveterate reader of British novels and have seen it in (cook)books. I will check next time I go to the supermarket if they have it there :D

(Background to this ask - it has been brought to my attention that Battenberg might not be a thing outside the UK so now obviously I’m acting as an ambassador for this pink and yellow chequered spongey wonder)

This is excellent news - can you please also report on the availability of custard cream biscuits and also bakewell tarts? I feel like we’re on the cusp of some important research here.

IT’S TRUE IT’S ALL TRUE!

“Oh, alright, you can have one sweetie. But only a green one. I don’t like the green ones.”

Watson + food = my OTP.

Just a quick reminder that you can now find the Adventures of Mrs Hudson over on Facebook, should you feel so inclined.

So I just went through all your Adventures of Mrs Hudson and can I say they are hilarious, please keep making more :D

*blush* Thank you ever so much! I’ve really been enjoying your work, too.

(Never fear, there will most certainly be more … the next adventure is currently sitting half-finished on my coffee table so hopefully I’ll get round to sorting that soon.)

(I feel compelled to remind everyone that this is a series of doodles in which the Hound of the Baskervilles resides at Baker Street (and still glows in the dark, for some reason), in which Watson is basically just a walking moustache with a penchant for sweeties and in which Holmes once led a conga line and has a teddy bear called Boswell; so if anyone was reading this hoping for a sense of reality, regard for the sanctity of the Canon or indeed any sort of artistic merit whatsoever then they will find themselves sorely disappointed ;) )

But that is a fantastic essay by petermorwood! Really fascinating, thank you so much for sharing. I don’t think the old ‘but it’s alright, I was using a parlour pistol’ excuse would wash with Mrs Hudson, though…

“Ta-da!”

In which Mr. Holmes does a spot of decorating.

(Yes, there really are 20 more of these, and here’s the proof.)
