I'm wanting to write a detective comedy comic, and I'm not sure what would be a good source to look at. I describe it as s comedy disguising itself as a drama, and I think good sources of that would be Zombieland(Legit apocalypse, but the characters make it funny) or Monk(cases are realistic, but the detective is cuckoo).
My basic idea is a parody of old noir films, like for instance, the main villains, The Villoni Crime Family, are legitimate mobsters, but on the other hand, they're clowns, and the Don has a completely shadowed face, except for his eyes, and his lips are massive. The comic itself will be monochrome, and the character design will be entirely unrealistic, with the main character, for example, looking like a Twinkie with arms and legs.
