No, the _other_ Nick and Nora

Because someone reminded me of the book _The Thin Man_, which the film preserved many of the events of while completely changing the tone, I am now wondering what Ralph and Sue Dibny would have been like had they been based on the prose Nick and Nora and not the William Powell/Myrna Loy versions? Ralph as a bitter drunk who married a rich woman in the hopes he'd never have to work again, who finds himself drawn back into the working world?

I am not totally certain that would have been approved by the Comics Code Authority...
