What's the Diff Between a Lambiek and a Hembeck?

A bit of a tricky one, since both are comics-related. The first word is the name of "Europe's first and most famous antiquarian comic shop, and is a hallmark in the world of comics," whose website maintains a very comprehensive "Comiclopedia - a huge compendium of more than 4,500 international comic artists, with biographies and artwork examples." I used it a lot back when I was maintaining the Women Doing Comics List. Robin just discovered via Googling his name that he's made their site, along with panels from the first story we did together.

The second is, of course, the surname of the very talented cartoonist Fred Hembeck, who was kind enough to mention both Robin and me in the links page attached to his blog. Thanks, Fred!
