Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz


Excellent work, Inspector! No dying man would think of typing without first adjusting his posture and finding the home row keys to type in an efficient manner.

I did NaNoWriMo last year and I can't touch type for poo poo. I know a dude who's written a couple books who cant type without looking at the keyboard. Admittedly, I don't use just one finger, but I'll give the victim a pass here, what with the dying.

And here I thought it was the one guy because the inspector would be all "AH-HA! I never said anything about the note being on a COMPUTER!"

That and a middle-aged man in a modern developed nation pleading complete ignorance of something as commonplace as typing is a bit suspect.

Well let's be fair here, it's not like there's any other possible explanation for why he'd have his fingerprints on his keyboard.

Dangit Inspector Danger, any keyboard is going to be a colossal mush of fingerprints everywhere all over each other, how are you going to get a good print unless somebody wiped the whole thing down first then did the typing?

Just posting a little thing to say related to comic strips. I visited the Calvin and Hobbes/Cul de Sac exhibit today at Ohio State and it was very nice. There was a good collection of strips from both, some proto-Calvin and Hobbes, some Richard's Almanacs and lil doodles and stuff. If you're in the Columbus area, you should really check it out. There also was some awesome old strips that I recognized thanks to the thread here :3:

The Creeps

I'll be honest with you, I have no idea what's happening in today's Creeps.

The fat creep claims to be inspired by whatever they are watching on television. Instead of doing things that inspired people generally do, like starting a new project or zipping around the place full of energy, he gradually puts a pillow on the couch and goes to sleep in the laziest possible way.

Here are the beginning strips of University^2, Frank Cho's pre-Liberty Meadows series. Some of the jokes will be made more than once, it's sexist and on at least one occasion racist, but it has its charms.

The concept is lab animals accidentally admitted to college. We have Ralph the Hamster, Dean the (chauvinist) Pig, and Frank the Duck.

The best move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Yet another League question - did Reynarde do anything besides misdirect the dog? Seems like Toad and Anansi were the only ones who did anything useful besides that.

Before I post these here comics, I guess I should mention I'm going out of town and won't be back until Wednesday or Thursday. I won't be posting comics while I'm gone and I probably won't feel like doing a catch-up post when I get back either. If there's anything I post that you happen to like and think the thread should keep up on, please feel free to post it! I generally post the vintage comics below, as well as Luann, Apartment 3G, Pros & Cons, Newspaper Spider-Man and Prince Valiant on Sundays. All this stuff except Luann can be found on the Comics Kingdom website. Ok! Comics time!

I'm not quite sure when Sally Forth stopped being a less terrible Foob, or if it was always kinda awesome and I was just unobservant as a teen, but I definatly enjoy the moments of surreality and fourth wall breaking.
