It makes me wonder if they possibly knew each other, if maybe after a hard day at the desk the two of them would hoist a few in the back room of some State Street dive, and commiserate. After all, there is a precedent of sorts — Raymond Chandler and Dr. Suess were supposedly La Jolla pals. And let’s face it, Lew Archer would have had a field day with the Van Pelt family.
