In The Comics

Eudora Patch in the comics isn't actually Eudora Patch. She's Inspector Patch, a grumpy old detective who is conspicuously male and whose partner is a talking chimpanzee. He has a moustache and wears a beret.

He and Diego essentially have a Batman/Gordon relationship, with Lupo offering begrudging help to Diego when he's on vigilante duty.

Though she's not in it a great deal - and basically only exists to give Diego some more backstory and a link to the "real world," (as well as an in-point with the police he can manipulate to help his own investigations along), Eudora Patch replaces Lupo. She's grumpy, but mostly because Diego is her ex and she's more reluctant to directly help his investigations.

She's played by Nigerian-Swiss actress Ashley Madekwe who was born in Britain. She has no moustache and wears no beret.
