Happy birthday, Alfred "Frank Marker" Burke.
A fantastic character actor, mournful of face, with a gaunt appearance. Aside from his career in theatre, he had the good fortune to play a career defining role for 10 years on TV.
Burke's performance as Marker, a shabby, cantankerous, belligerent, and painfully honest private enquiries agent, was glorious. A character who grew as the series went on, the writers must take much credit for Public Eye but, Burke was Marker.
He had a long career and worked with many greats, including Bette Davis, in The Nanny.
Burke ended his career in the Harry Potter universe playing Professor Armando Dippet, but it's as Marker he'll be remembered.
One other performance, which was very memorable, was in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected called The Flypaper. I won't spoil it for you. Check it out.
Alfred Burke (28 February 1918 – 16 February 2011)

Just some friends, being pals ✨
(Also, I feel like at some point Eddie would carry Wally on his shoulders ☺️)
Also, if anyone was wondering what markers I used, it’d be those markers you can get at IKEA 😊

Did y'all know I have a pair of absolutely ancient jeans that I use as an embroidery canvas.
No, you didn't, because turns out I've apparently never shared my Layton or Encanto patches on here I guess??
Well, I made a Welcome Home patch on them!! My buddy was kind enough to help me take some pics wearing it while I was in town today.
What symbols for which characters under the hood :)
Wally: apple, eye, his lil face!
Barnaby: his pawprint and his hat
Julie: pink and purple flowers
Frank: their tie, butterflies (plus hearts)
Eddie: a multicoloured letter (plus hearts)
Howdy: a caterpillar
Poppy: the little wings she draws next to her signature, and a cupcake
Sally: Stars!
Having more things dedicated to a specific character doesn't have any significance, it just means I had more ideas for them or they fit nicest to fill in a space haha
