And so it is with the children of <a href="http://www.bakerstreetelementary.org/" target="_blank">Baker Street Elementary</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It has now been 10 years since this Charles Schulz-inspired Sherlockian comic strip made its debut from the minds of Joe Fay, Rusty Mason, and Steve Mason. Here at <i>I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</i>, we recognized the innocence and joy of Baker Street Elementary as a throwback to the Sunday comics of yore, and have featured this strip every other Sunday on this site for the past eight years (along with some related commentary).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Think of what a decade of Holmes and Watson together gave us: the two first met in early 1881 and their exploits included <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>, <i>The Sign of Four</i>, the entire collection of <i>The Adventures</i> and <i>The Memoirs</i>, ending only with "death" of Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Those tales meant we would encounter a clever female foil for Sherlock Holmes, a client with a severed digit, a scam targeted at a man with red hair, a snake as a murder weapon, short hair and a blue dress as a requirement for employment, a disappearing horse, a murderous pygmy, an travel-worn American set on vengeance, and a number of past acquaintances whose reappearance meant death.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This was just the beginning of a 40-year journey. Will Baker Street Elementary have the same longevity? Only time will tell.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Meanwhile, it doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhImZTVWYPTEp8Uhwo6GAo1h7YzVo8SbBwPvUlKOsGeRok3TKBdB8AJcOGNrncU6PwC-JnK_mOuvpYrCbyrUsQ6xDCNYklTOJzXXbda0WHMBuroi6EDiT2sBcYjruNNFJkwKwDXPksxWxbBit3Eg_0bA7X3SXWQtcGyNwHrRDv8TSv_JbNFy6-YY2Dgf3yq/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhImZTVWYPTEp8Uhwo6GAo1h7YzVo8SbBwPvUlKOsGeRok3TKBdB8AJcOGNrncU6PwC-JnK_mOuvpYrCbyrUsQ6xDCNYklTOJzXXbda0WHMBuroi6EDiT2sBcYjruNNFJkwKwDXPksxWxbBit3Eg_0bA7X3SXWQtcGyNwHrRDv8TSv_JbNFy6-YY2Dgf3yq/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.2.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMt9ZdBwR8aXWBr8YD_fVeB8kVZS447wyz0NlGKYhM8hS5NwGBR3mpkKHGA0BEqBI5uTgDp-UU2s1Lx3hRLFvEj0a3m5EBc2e_MExOmQSP9SVReXJlJmcgX_R9WwvcfsFaMYLDHLxbYfu_T-4ezvKRyDVj4XAaVgEyXFu2MbFvYFAChc0F23kAz0_kpny/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMt9ZdBwR8aXWBr8YD_fVeB8kVZS447wyz0NlGKYhM8hS5NwGBR3mpkKHGA0BEqBI5uTgDp-UU2s1Lx3hRLFvEj0a3m5EBc2e_MExOmQSP9SVReXJlJmcgX_R9WwvcfsFaMYLDHLxbYfu_T-4ezvKRyDVj4XAaVgEyXFu2MbFvYFAChc0F23kAz0_kpny/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.3.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDnSA_nPEFXPGiA54hcPyqnLGvHzPoDE5gAxoeu9vgQGDJbktcOst8mkI1ER3bO-c0VsEmE4Gem-x5TpTpB0i0ITeW5RtWTtLVJKzVyS8KBnW3iJwBW0sCpEcp6Tqp9q3PMpTmc1oX3HNhqgs0lFszBDtgFbkCZXfYVCfrpOJaAAmLNnH35P8Mi4Tjs8l/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDnSA_nPEFXPGiA54hcPyqnLGvHzPoDE5gAxoeu9vgQGDJbktcOst8mkI1ER3bO-c0VsEmE4Gem-x5TpTpB0i0ITeW5RtWTtLVJKzVyS8KBnW3iJwBW0sCpEcp6Tqp9q3PMpTmc1oX3HNhqgs0lFszBDtgFbkCZXfYVCfrpOJaAAmLNnH35P8Mi4Tjs8l/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.4.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tXF4jc26S9EXNXjprLhsEmuftb74UuJ3Somc9fwUDi7niFcEb6I1nWSx9j31hLSYLJ95PP7wIB7OxXoQP0m6Vj077FrAFweR7IzsKrdQoIXPCA_L2-ewi1fQsPRJ5Pjh9otCOYMKFG0Lv-25M_9GC1l9J9-YVL4izxiNK4-OPqpvhIhZnkzSsV4LERG6/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tXF4jc26S9EXNXjprLhsEmuftb74UuJ3Somc9fwUDi7niFcEb6I1nWSx9j31hLSYLJ95PP7wIB7OxXoQP0m6Vj077FrAFweR7IzsKrdQoIXPCA_L2-ewi1fQsPRJ5Pjh9otCOYMKFG0Lv-25M_9GC1l9J9-YVL4izxiNK4-OPqpvhIhZnkzSsV4LERG6/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20191.5.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.

The type of wood mattered too; oak and ash were preferred for their mystical qualities.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Interestingly, in Bram Stoker's <i>Dracula</i>, the Count wasn't defeated with a stake through his heart. According to Mina Murray's narrative, Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris pried open the lid of the box in which Dracula lay, the one decapitating him with a Kukri and the other piercing his heart with a bowie knife: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;"></span></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 16px;">But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan’s great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat; whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris’s bowie knife plunged into the heart.</span></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And while the creator of Sherlock Holmes thought the idea of vampires was fanciful, he had a direct connection to Bram Stoker.

The implication at the end of the story is that Holmes is the boy's father. </p><p><br /></p><p>But the version I find most intriguing comes from comic books. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/comicsworthreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/immortal-x-men-8-scaled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="520" height="800" src="https://i0.wp.com/comicsworthreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/immortal-x-men-8-scaled.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><p><i>Immortal X-Men</i> #8, out November 2022, was written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Michele Bandini, with cover (above) by Mark Brooks. In it, readers find out that the great detective was really the shape-changing Mystique. Destiny, another shape-shifter and her lover, was Irene Adler. </p><p>So what does this have to do with Holmesian heirs? Well, Chris Claremont, noted X-Men writer for many years, had originally <a href="https://www.cbr.com/x-men-rogue-mystique-father-destiny-mother/" target="_blank">planned to reveal</a> in the 1980s that Destiny and Mystique were Nightcrawler's parents. They're both shapeshifters, but both usually present as women, so Marvel said no to what could be seen as a same-sex relationship. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjl7OuyTWYaniRiaP-zDRSoiNj3D3-YH3rhDyCIgrji4tchznENIhcAMBbeI2B8oSMTLqkPAWYWPDGhhteBB1M0jBz-FWRwduJgef4-Ztlzu3Y7nOZJ7wsmOOLqy8dHp-stakRAQ0hxB4teK77VQFHQ6TuFvUFxbGscyV-zPeyhs_2dEy354wZAcnufY_Ml" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="400" height="662" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjl7OuyTWYaniRiaP-zDRSoiNj3D3-YH3rhDyCIgrji4tchznENIhcAMBbeI2B8oSMTLqkPAWYWPDGhhteBB1M0jBz-FWRwduJgef4-Ztlzu3Y7nOZJ7wsmOOLqy8dHp-stakRAQ0hxB4teK77VQFHQ6TuFvUFxbGscyV-zPeyhs_2dEy354wZAcnufY_Ml=w433-h662" width="433" /></a></div><br /></div><p>However, in <i>X-Men Origins: Blue</i> #1 (written by Si Spurrier, penciled by Wilton Santos and Marcus To, cover by Francis Manapul, out November 2023), that origin for Nightcrawler was restored.

With the Baskervilles, he may have had quite a bit to work with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">That's a lot for Sir Henry, who spent most of his time in the States and Canada, to take in.
