"Bucko" tips its pen to Erika Moen's octopus art

If you haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet, Bucko is Erika Moen's collaboration with writer Jeff Parker, an offbeat, Portland-based murder mystery. As I've been reading it, I've been wondering to what extent Gypsy, the main character's partner in crime-solving, is based on Moen herself. Well, the latest installment offered a clue. A gal who sells octopus art on her Etsy store? Who does that sound like?

Apropos of nothing: What's the plural of "octopus?"

THANKS, PARKER. Sigh.; April 21, 2011 at 2:14 PM
