On the lower left is FBI agent Dale Cooper from the "Twin Peaks" TV series.

Highly recommend watching the original show just a lil high. Not too much, you'll lose the thread. But if you keep in the zone, it's a wild wild ride.

Still cannot believe that show was on primetime broadcast television in the 90s, it's the perfect marriage of art and commercial filmmaking. And the whole country was OBSESSED with it. Really wish we had more weird, beautiful stuff like it Twin Peaks =\

And the whole thing was David Lynch taking the piss out of other primetime shows.

I understand it was a big hit in Japan. Which seems weird, but alongside their apparent appreciation for King Of The Hill, it makes sense: these shows are Americans exaggerating Americana. Cooper is even enough of an outsider to appreciate it in-universe. With aggressive sincerity.
