Getting further away. One more guess before I give the answer and declare open floor.

I think that I know what this is (having looked at Wiki), but I'm not sure that it's a museum. Is it the "House of Blues"?

A police museum?

Ok thats close enough you can have it. Dan Akroyds father was in the RCMP (the Mounties) and when Dan moved to LA he became involved in various LAPD charity events, in particular fallen officer fundraisers. He is heavily involved and is a curator of an historic & now sole surviving 1920's LA police station which is also home of the LAPD history museum. There was a great feature on it in an episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Your floor.

Are they cartoon / comic strip characters?

They are, which isn't particularly remarkable, but something about them is quite extraordinary.

I've checked since posting my guess, so I'll let someone else have a go first. You're right, though, it is quite extraordinary.

It appears that they can be read either way up ?
DaleCooper

Near enough, when the page is inverted you get the second half of the story. When inverted Little Lady Lovekins becomes Old Man Muffaroo and vice versa. If you google them you'll find more examples.
Your turn...

OK. Staying on a cartoon theme ...
In the Tintin books, how is it possible to tell between the two 'twin' detectives Thomson and Thompson ? [ Bonus points for saying which is which ]

Its the Tash. One is straight the other is curly. Personally I could never tell them apart and I've always thought of them as "Bradford and Bingly" I couldn't tell you their name.
The film was average. I was a little gutted as I've liked Tin Tin since I was a kid

Correct. Thompson has a straight moustache and Thomson a curly one.
