Anyone else think of the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Herg's comic strip "The Adventures of Tintin"?

That didn't come into my mind; but that's an interesting comparison.
Note also that one of the marshals is named Lee, and the other is named Marvin – i.e., Lee Marvin! Jarmusch is actually a founding member of the tongue-in-cheek secret society called 'The Sons of Lee Marvin'. The sole entry requirement for the club is that one must have a physical resemblance to plausibly look like a son of Marvin.
