This is the last of my original A & Q character sheets. Meet Dirk McNasty....small time Hood from the mean streets of Liverpool who "worked" his way up through the ranks of Britain's underworld,eventually attracting the attention of the WRAITH organization,who recruited him not long after he put a knife between the ribs of the mid level Mob boss he was working for. Dirk's job in WRAITH is overseeing the organization's "Foot Soldiers",the Henchmen,Thugs,Goons,whatever you care to call them.He's Basically the Office Manager no one likes. Dirk is oily,arrogant,vain,cowardly,sarcastic,nauseatingly sychophantic towards his superiors,while always looking for an opportunity to advance himself by whatever unscrupulous means.Despite his clownish demeanor,he is actually quite vicious and treacherous. His little catchphrase, "Not a word...not....a....single....bloody....WORD!!" is what he usually hisses through his stereotypically bad British teeth at some unfortunate underling while doing a slow burn after he's spectacularly failed in some scheme he's devised. Dirk ,who of course is convinced that he's a Ladies' Man,is infatuated with Denise,who is naturally repulsed by the little Cockney creep,whom she has derisively nicknamed "Rat Boy". She usually rewards his Amorous overtures with a well placed slap,knuckle sandwich or kick (guess where?). Dirk has appeared in the second chapter of the "Devil's flower gambit" storyline in FURRLOUGH (issue # 149) and is currently cooling his heels in jail. I modeled Dirk on Monty Python'e Eric Idle,who,after John Cleese was my favorite member of the legendary comedy troupe. Dirk is a holdover from when A & Q leaned more towards humor,and he may very well get a make over. Original artwork dated June 15th,2004.
