Black Books
Black Publications centers around the tempered and bookshop owner Bernard Black. Bernard's dedication to the double joys of wilful and drunkenness antagonism deepens and enriches that of Manny and his lifetime. Sweet bearded and good, Manny is everything that Bernard isn't and will be now penalized by Bernard relentlessly solely for the crime of existing. They rely on each other as their earliest friend, Fran, depends on them for significance.
Black Books is a haven of books, wine and conversation, the only real threat to the peace and prosperity of this group is their own limitless stupidity.
