Sadly, ''Gorsky and Butch'' is almost unknown outside Poland, being almost impossible to translate. This is mostly due to Poland-specific cultural referrences. Also, the comic is a HurricaneOfPuns, some of which directly influence the plot. If the pun is untranslatable, the scene will make no sense. (For example, the whole ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' parody has the Marines fight against sheep, because the movie they are in is an illegal copy with a translation full of spelling errors - Polish words for ''alien'' (obcy) and ''sheep'' (owcy) are very similiar.)

''Gorsky and Butch'' is a Polish comic book made by Robert Adler and Tobiasz Piatkowski. It tells a story of a duo of policemen [[MediumAwareness working to find some sense in their comic]]... a rather futile effort.
Much like Mel Brooks' movies, the series uses the plot as an excuse to spoof the hell out of whatever happens to stand in its way. Also, because of the main point of the plot, it has no fourth wall.
The comic consists of three books and a prequel, "Golota vs Predator". There was no definite ending to the series, but the last book showed symptoms of the authors running out of ideas. It is currently unknown whether new books will be made.

Balding, fat, with impressive moustache and a history of overusing violence at work (he has a diploma in his office) he is the spoof of all the bad tempered police chiefs in fiction, in fact he went to the academy with commisioner Gordon. He regularly threatens the heroes and even fires them twice during the series. In later stories it turns out he is actually plotting against them, making sure they continue the fruitless search to keep the plot going.
* Maciek (Polish for Matthias). A member of a swat team who tried to arrest the authors at the beginnig of the first book, he was re-drawn into a woman. He is the only recurring [[AttractiveBentGender female]] character in the series.
