This reminds me of a little something from one of Kinison's tragically departed contemporaries:

Oddly enough, the reason I posted this vid was because I was talking with a friend about Hicks, and that lead to a whole conversation about dead stand up comedians.

Did you know that Hicks was once featured in an issue of Preacher? He was in the main character's flashback and was performing on stage, and his lines were taken directly from one of his shows. Tres cool.

I did not know that. I'm sure he'd have been proud.

At some point I'll have to get around to reading some Preacher, especially if the proposed film finally goes ahead.

I heard the film didn't go ahead. Apparently adapting to a movie that wouldn't be NC17 would be virtually impossible, given the grotesque violence in the comics. Latest I heard was that HBO was considering making it in to a mini series. And Samuel L. Jackson wants to play the Saint of Killers. Which would be massively cool.

I think Hicks would have really liked it, given that the entire flashback was created as a means to explain the main character's new found attitude and look on life, which he found upon hearing Hicks had died.

As character inspirations go, that's certainly a good'n'.
