The ol hardboiled private eye male fantasy where protagonist smokes like a chimney, fucks like a champ, punches like a brute, sports coats like Columbo, overcomes drug addictions and is cool as cat in the face of the city's never-ending supply of crooks and inept police force. Paris serves as an awesome background for this manga, with scene-setting panels really capturing the Parisian flair and sprawl. Dingo's heavy eyebrows and goofy grin - pretty cool - the rest of the generic Parisians, especially the look-alike women who just have sex and nothing else - not so cool. Even if there were other memorable character designs, ... they wouldn't stay long due to the brevity of Dingo's howcatchem tales. Each story's too short to build any kind of stakes (Dingo's too strong anyways) and start to blend due to many of the characters looking too similar. The rugged main character and setting lend coolness to this manga but the throwaway stories make it unessential.
