When I said something about a good detective being "miss marple on steroids" my friend coined the phrase muscle marple. So I had to draw her.
An illustration in the style of a promo poster, in black line drawing. The text reads: Forget  HOT POIROT....meet.... MUSCLE MARPLE!

The illustration shows an old lady in a flowery hat with HUGE GUNS.
