Comics’ little joys
December 28th, 2008 by jasonIt’s little things like this that just make me grin when I read comics:
In The Punisher presents: Barracuda #2 (written by Garth Ennis, drawn by Goran Parlov), there’s a throwaway line when Barracuda sees a former fellow inmate on a first class flight to a banana republic. Digby, the former inmate who is shaking in his boots at seeing Barracuda confesses that he now works for Hart Consolidated, who sent him on the trip to look into someone’s financials. Barracuda says that Hart’s one of the biggest outfits in the country, why would they hire a fraud like Digby?
Anyone know what Hart Consolidated is a reference to? And the name Digby?
