Suggestion: Defective Detective

I'd like to suggest we move the current page image on Inspector Canardo where Canardo indulges in his vices to the trope page, and replace the work page with this book cover◊.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

That would be fine with me.

I actually think that the book cover would work better for the trope as we can see his drinking and smoking problems up close.

Drinking and Smoking does not make them defective though, its the sign of a Film Noir detective though.

That's a kind of Defective Detective.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

Number 1 works for me.

From the trope description: "The overworked and nervous ones dabble in drugs and court substance addictions (or blood)"

Alcohol is, naturally, a legalized drug, and a fair number of examples on the page are detectives with drinking problems. There's a difference between a detective who just consumes liquor because it's Film Noir and one who's an obvious alcoholic—which is why I think the page image is better, because he's more heavily inebriated.

OP is good, but a slighty higher quality image would be appreciated (if possible).

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

To clarify, the OP suggestion is to use this for the Defective Detective page image:

(The linked book cover image is for a work page, to replace the image there.)

Check out my fanfiction!

Is that enough for the suggested move?

Yeah, go ahead with it.

Alright, it's been moved and the pages tagged. Keep the former caption or think of something else?

That caption works.

The old caption works for me.

Same here.

The old caption is good; it's added and tagged. Locking up.
