Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz

Oh , I thought was because he parked in the wrong direction just so he could drag the hose extra far to fill up his tank. but no that wasn't the answer, it has to be some dumb trivia that probably isn't true. Should the cop cars run out of gas just because they aren't allowed to use civilian gas stations?

Most police stations have their own pumps, so it's at least vaguely plausible as a lead, I guess. The real meat of this one is Alfie in the first two panels. "But that's illegal!", says the assistant to the detective, who regularly stops criminals and has seen much wackier poo poo than a mugger impersonating a cop.

This isn't true. Police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks all fill up at regular gas stations as well as their own dispatch stations. I've sold gasoline to all of them back when I worked in one. These people drive around all day, it's stupid to have to go all the way back just to fill up.

Did that storyline actually talk about what happened to Nancy's parents, though? I remember it being "I'm sad about not having parents to bring to the family picnic wait I'll bring Aunt Friti PROBLEM SOLVED".

It was mentioned in one of the Phil Fumble strips--Nancy's parents are dead. Fritzi wept had a single tear well up at the corner of her eye when she related it to Phil on a date at the diner. I don't believe we ever learned how they died, exactly, and whether or not Fritzi is a blood-relative.

They were killed by Phil Fumble in a dark pact for power. This pact took a long time to manifest itself - but now that it has, he is hungry for more and is insidiously worming his way into the heart of the Ritz family to do it again. He needs more power. His chin is not yet strong enough. :tinfoil:

One thing I really like about LSoS that I don't really see anyone else bring up is Heckbender's characterization. He's seriously the most interesting character in the entire comic so far, and it would have been extremely easy for him not to be.
