[quote=@Gowi]It probably is a stretch without a doubt, yes, but if he’s mentioned in a comic continuity as a character that exists he definitely falls under the ‘indie comics’ clause we sort of added. Does he have a lot of stuff to go on? Maybe, maybe not; but I do trust Byrd to handle it and from my perspective I’m not sure what harm it would do to allow the inclusion?[/quote]

He's George, M's secretary, that's the character. All the Le Carré stuff is ultimately conjecture. George Smiley is not in any real way, shape or form a comics character. And I'm fine with whatever you want, really. It's just my nature as a nosy, contrary son of a bitch to say: aren't you opening the gates a little too far? 'Comics' is in the title of the RPG for a reason.
