Description Upon watching the last season of Black Books, namely episode number one, one line uttered by Manny particularly stuck out in my mind.

"You can't survive off the mushrooms in your hair."

Hmm... for those who know me, it is obvious why this line in particular caught my attention. If I had needed any more reason to love Bernard, this would have been it. But I didn't, he was already my hero.

To the most amazing fictional, drunk, Irish book shop owner in England: Bernard Black.

By gross you do mean hilarious, right?

And, of course, thank you for your kind words.

Oh, of course it was hilarious. And disturbing. I think I've known a few people who could live off their hair mushrooms

When you say it as such, putting the concept into the realm of the mundane, yeah, it does sound kind of gross. xD

Love the whole idea. The Mushrooms and wine glass are both very well done.

This is REALLY good! However, the right side of the face is a little off; it seems like he has no cheek and the eye is a bit lopsided. Otherwise fantastic work! ^^

I wasn't going for realism when I did the original sketch, which was no bigger than 2"x2" on a sheet of paper. Also, he is supposed to look a bit drunk.

I guess I'm trying to say that I know it's a bit off, but that's how the simplification of characteristics worked out. *shrug*
