Amos Walker is a character from the brilliant author Loren D.Estleman.Guy Noir is a private eye from the radio show A Prairie Home Companion.

i am a little confused by the image
it looks like a guy in a cowboy hat
is the long horizontal line in row 17 his eyes (like he is squinting) (with a long nose) or are the 2 vertical lines in columns 19/22 his eyes (with a smaller round nose)?
is he wearing a bandanna?
what is the red dot?
fun solve

Hey bugaboo, your confusion is warranted.It is Estlemans image of Amos Walker not mine.It's a split image a guy in a overcoat and smoking a cigarette on the left and on the right a cowboy with a mustache and wearing a bandanna.The red dot is the lit tip of the cigarette.There are no eyes so i assume the line under the hat is him or them frowning, hence the attitude.Hope this helps.

Great graphic novel vibrancy using the blue background. Now that you've done Walker, I'd like to see you do Parker.

Thanks Robert,did you mean the writer Robert B. Parker or a different Parker.
#7: Robert Shields (skweedle) on Jan 24, 2011
No, I'm referring to Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake)'s existential thief anti-hero, Parker. If you're into hard-boiled and haven't discovered Parker, I give you
The Grail...

Thanks for the link, Adam. The line drawing is easy to see, but the image in the puzzle was a little confusing.

Aldege, this puzzle was a lot of fun to solve, even if it was not recognizable. Nice job.
