WAAAY back in Punisher War Zone, Patton Oswalt mistakenly, though understandably, states that comics writer Garth Ennis, who is famous for writing the Punisher and who created the character of the ineffectual Detective Soap, is either British or Scottish. He's actually Irish. Small detail I know, but it does figure into his work quite often.
And in the unlikely event this one gets read on the air, I really want to recommend a Garth Ennis' Preacher. If you love violence, dark humour, blasphemy and an epic southern-fried adventure thriller, this is the series for year.
