Anybody here ever read Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's comic series Preacher?
Notice that Mo's friend in this bares a resemblance to Cassidy? Both Irish, both have shades, both are sidekicks, same kinda personality... was Cassidy "inspired" by this character>
Would be ironic, seeing as Hardware is a bit "inspired" by 2000AD :)
GREAT CALL!!!
Thats the post I was looking for!!!!!
I do know that this was out before Preacher. There's no way anyone who is watching this movie that had read preacher could not straight away think of Cassidy. Not only is he Irish and dressed exactly the same, but he is clearly in love with the leading man's lady, same as Cassidy is with Tulip.
It's a little too close for it to be mere coincidence. Take away the vampire aspect and they are the same person!!
