This is McNulty and Bunk. They are getting hammered because they're McNulty and Bunk. Comics artist Steve Lieber has done more in the same vein here.

Incidentally, Lieber is a really cool guy who was very nice to me when I started blogging. The movie version of one of his comics, Whiteout, is coming out later this year with Kate Beckinsdale, and I hope Lieber got a piece of that. Of the movie, I mean. Not that I wouldn't want him to get a piece of Beckinsdale, but let's be realistic here.

(thx av club)

Hey Jim:

Do I still have to call you Jim? Anyhow, saw your nice comment at Alan Sepinwall's site and followed. To answer your sort of question, I got a piece of that. Not of THAT, no, but, yeah.

Steve Lieber drew me a really bitchin' Johnny Quick sketch at the Charlotte Heroes Con years ago. For the unnerdified, Johnny Quick was a 1940s character kind of like The Flash but cooler. Although if you're unnerdified, you probably don't know who The Flash is, either, so I should probably just stop now.

Anyway, Steve Lieber is awesome.
