#A fictional character is any person who
appears in a work of fiction. More accurately, a fictional character is the person or conscious entity we imagine to exist within the world of such a work. In addition to people, characters can be aliens, nimals, gods or, occasionally, inanimate objects. Characters are almost always at the center of fictional texts, especially novels and plays.

#A comic strip is a short strip or sequence of drawings, telling a story. Drawn by a cartoonist, they are published on a recurring basis (usually daily or weekly) in newspapers or on the Internet. In the UK and Europe they are also published within comic magazines, with a strip's story sometimes continuing over three pages or more. They usually communicate to the reader via speech balloons.

As the name implies, they can be humorous (as in "gag-a-day" strips like Beetle Bailey, Hi & Lois, or Hagar the Horrible) but not by necessity. Serious soap-opera continuity strips (like Judge Parker or Little Orphan Annie) have serious story lines in serial form. They are, however, nonetheless known as "comics" – though the term "sequential art", coined by cartoonist Will Eisner, is becoming increasingly popular.

#Pieces of Modesty #

1974 paperback edition by Pan Books. Pieces of Modesty is a short story collection by Peter O'Donnell featuring his secret agent heroine, Modesty Blaise, first published in 1972. It was O'Donnell's first such collection of stories (he would publish a second, Cobra Trap
decades later).

The stories featured in this collection are:

"A Better Way to Die"
"The Giggle-Wrecker"
"I Had a Date With
Lady Janet"
"A Perfect Night to Break
Your Neck"
"Salamander Four"
"The Soo Girl Charity"

Elements from some of these stories would appear in the Modesty Blaise comic strip which O'Donnell wrote concurrent with his book series. "I Had a Date With Lady Janet" is distinguished as the only Modesty Blaise tale to be told in the first person by Modesty's right-hand man, Willie Garvin.

As the sole example of "real" pulp fiction in Quentin Tarantino's film "Pulp Fiction", the haracter of Vincent Vega (John Travolta) is seen in several scenes reading the first Modesty Blaise novel while sitting on the toilet. The edition Vincent reads has a mock-up cover that Tarantino had his prop department make, based upon thecover of an early edition of the novel.
