Ray Banana versus classic set of wheels. Which is cooler ?

Finally, a P.I. with appeal! RAY BANANA is a post-modernist American private eye, a slouching hepcat shamus in retro-fifties gear, shades and attitude, who stars in a series of semi-futuristic sort of detective stories set in a mythical America that could only be imagined in Europe. Ray made his debut in the pages of A suivre and has since appeared in several albums, in both French and English, sometimes accompanied by his "femme de chambre," Thelma Ritter.

Cool beans....
