Dean And Jerry - Blog Posts
Only big boys can handle their apple juice
On today’s episode of “yeah maybe I am crazy” here are some rough throw away tests from a scratched Old Hollywood dating sim idea
Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC
It’s spooky season so this AU is back at full force

I’m inconsolably jealous of the artists that got to work on the Martin+Lewis series for DC comics
Dear Mister Martin ✨
I was gonna do the whole clip with the vows but I got tired so maybe there’ll be a pt2 at some point idk the radio show has so many good moments it’s hard pick which ones to do
Smoke break…
No because what am I doing tho… what have things come to lmao… why were they muppet roommates
WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THE MUPPETS WERE ON MDA TELETHON
Hey Punchinello from Three Ring Circus has been stuck in my head for months. As a kid doodling commedia dell’arte characters got me through Italian class every day so here’s M+L as Pulcinella and Arlecchino.
Jerry derailing the skit in favour of tormenting Dean and his suede shoes is one of my top three CCH bits. Don’t know what use anyone else would have for a M+L Batman slap but it feels like proper courtesy to include a blank.
Always at my happiest when I leave art unfinished and half a mess + thinking about the lighter story at the end of Dean and Me
A lil M+L animatic | Coffee by Chappell Roan
Based on @etwlemons ask
Pardon me while I find a hole to stick my head in
Pick any random M+L moment and it just sounds outlandishly farcical, like:
Cross my heart and hope to die- I didn’t draw Dean Martin “King of Cool” ™ stomping on Jerry Lewis’s bike like a four year old just for kicks and giggles- he DID it
@fredandginger64 l don’t know how anyone could believe half the stuff these two got up to if there wasn’t documentation lol
Side note: ik the aspect ratios are scuffed af T^T This was meant to be a comic and there’s no planning ahead for 3am animatic impulses.
Since if you accept ideas to draw here goes my idea, well it's not so mine, but the thing is that I've been asked to write a fic about Dean and Jerry with the theme of Romeo and Juliet, that question of impossible love, a curious comparison that I've seen a lot in this "fandom"
And well, if it's not too much of a hassle, I'd love to see some of your drawing about them under this "AU" or "theme"
Eh I love drawing prompts! It takes me time but it’s no hassle. Your ask was pretty open to interpretation so here’s a 2 for 1: a literal R+J AU and a broader take on your theme.
Conceptual illustrations aren’t my strong suit. They usually turn out a bit too stiff and stupid but here’s the second section:
I think one reason why R+J works with M+L is the element of tension: Two people are pulled apart by external/internal forces and ultimately find their own unorthodox method of staying together
I appreciate writers in dead(ish) fandoms that are still at it. I tend to have mixed feelings about fanfic, but the creative effort you guys put in deserves some recognition.
I was gonna ask where I could read your fic but I may have already stumbled upon it- either that or it just so happens an entirely different person is also writing a R+J/M+L fic- But ANYWAYS…
Hope one of these fits what you were looking for and Good luck writing!
Oh boy what a day, what a duo, here’s another doodle. Happy Martin and Lewis Day~
A Twitter mutual and I were discussing the idea of a Dracula!Dean AU where he's fluffy and old when he doesn't feed, but when he does- he's back to youthful 40s-50s Dean (refer to images below)
And yes, Jerry is Renfield. BECAUSE EVERY DRACULA NEEDS A LOYAL COMPANION. >:3c
OH MY- the things you got me staying up to 3am doing. If you needed proof I’ll draw anything as long as it falls within one of my interests here it is.
First off I’m in loooove with this whole concept. It’s genius how well it suits them, but now I have to go lament the fact I’m never getting a M+L Renfield movie. Dean would’ve made a perfect Dracula (the clip of him singing that Bela Lugosi parody of Besame Mucho is *chefs kiss*)
Sorry this took so long I couldn’t settle on one thing and went a lil overboard doing them all + The bonus doodles are abundant.
Not sure what you were looking for Moonie but hopefully something in here hits the mark.
AND if you come up with any other ideas (im practically begging) send them my way bc I had waayyyy too much fun with this.
Hear me out…
I know it was probably a fairly serious and sad time after the split BUT every time I read something about Dean chasing Jerry around the Paramount lot because he kept ducking to avoid him- to the point he literally had to hold a sit down meeting and scold him- I just can’t help picturing Dean literally trying to track Jerry down in full campy horror movie mode, being an absolute menace on the studio grounds, screaming his head off as they run around in circles of Looney Toon dust.
And all Dean wants is a little wave good morning cuz he misses his partner (but also poor Jerry he obviously wasn’t ready)
There’s zero basis for this but it was kinda fun to make anyways.
Watching these two live at the Copa must’ve been something special. I wish there was more footage of their nightclub performances out there. It seems like both of them were so much more relaxed and in their element but I feel like I’ve only ever come across video of two or three different shows.
One day I’ll make the M+L Copacabana animatic that’s been knocking around in my brain for months… oh one day the things I’ll do.
One of my favourite CCH bits is when Dean lets Jerry conduct the band cuz all of them are really fun but the “Once in a While” number has a special place in my heart
