ARSEFACE INVADES THE SLOPE

Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Arseface, from PREACHER.

While doing some research at a couple of local pubs the other night, I was rather amused to discover that Arseface, one of the more memorable characters from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's PREACHER (1995-2000) comics series, turned up as bathroom graffiti in watering holes some nine or ten blocks apart.
