Prompt: Hyperrealstic Vibrant Colours, a comix-style whimsical Noir pulp adventure-story cartoon strip, featuring 1977 Elvis Costello (Cool Nerd) as a Noir style Detective with six frames titled "Watching the Detectives" In bold semi-3d Noir Pulp Detective Story style. Each frame is appropriately sequential and captioned:
She is watching the detectives. "Ooh, it's so cute" When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot!
They beat him up until the teardrops start. But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
Cut to baby taking off her clothes. Close-up of the sign that says: "We never close."
I don't know how much more of this I can take. She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay. It only took my little fingers to blow you away
