Too much Dashiell Hammett lately I guess.
Anyway, this is a little ';playing-around' with the word gunsel.

Ink and watercolour...

Have ever, perchance, heard the Firesign Theatre's classic sketch "Nick Danger - Third Eye"? A classic piece of comedy in the old radio drama style...... 7@=e

If I ever run across fanfiction that has Sam Spade with a goose sidekick, I know who to blame.

Also, gunsel was slang for the younger partner of a homosexual relationship. Spade used it to describe Welmer's relationship with Gutman in the book.

Exactly. And some people mistook it for referring to the word gun (gunsel=hired gun).

Gun*sel - verb - 1. to lurk down dark alleyways in the company of a goose.

2. to sell firearms [from 'gun sale'/'gun sell']

;p
