"Even though he's done nothing illegal and is only scamming people who think clams can somehow sing, Slylock puts on the pressure as only a person who's sent Slick to jail multiple times can."
My first thought on reading that explanation was I couldn't believe Slick Smitty was supposed to have folded under pressure so easily like that. I would think a lifetime scammer like Slick Smitty would be made of stronger stuff than that.

I think it's supposed to be "which one of these doesn't (lay eggs or give birth) underwater", which would make it the turtle.

Surely there's a limit to the number of professions that are able to give a clue to their murderer using their tools of trade.

"Ron Smith, the famous classical guitarist, murdered! But look, his hand is still cramped around the neck of his acoustic - holding one last chord. It must be a clue!" And then you see the suspects with names like Albert Grey and Francesca Anderson, but one of them is a little boy and in an unprecedented twist the solution has nothing to do with notes and initials at all, but the chord is A Minor.

e: how that would be remotely recognizable rendered in Inspector Danger's trademark sausage finger art, I have no clue

I'm pretty sure this entire plot line has been lifted from some bad 1980's teen summer camp movie, minus the humanoid animals, of course.

These are really hit and miss aren't they? I mean, this is basically every shroom story ever (except the one I had when I was sitting by the river, tripping, watching a lake freighter come in from Lake Erie, and it got up on four legs and started walking toward me, but whatever.). They seem to be so much better when they're about actual rock moments.

I honestly really like them, even when they're meditative and/or pensive, but I've always liked art that elevates the mundane. Probably why I'm a Talking Heads fan.
