Those bikes must be heavy; I wonder why they chose to carry them like that. Even if they didn't feel like riding them, it seems like it would be easier to roll them along on the ground next to them rather than awkwardly carrying them by their handlebars.

A little searching suggests the painting the boys are looking at is Custer's Last Fight. Prints of this were distributed to bars as advertising freebies by Anheuser-Busch, hence the reference to the 18th Amendment.

Ah, but that guy has a checkable alibi. Solving Inspector Danger may be 90% bullshit, but I think he likes to throw in 10% actual mystery logic every now and then to keep us on our toes.

Also, yeah, that's totally right-handed raking there.

I hated how Detective Dan had himself driven to a few different locations and checked out their mail before he decided to enter a house as opposed to getting a search warrant for each location.

The depiction of Finns in Prince Valiant is totally off and perpetuates the myth that they are all actually Mongols. Luckily Fingerpori represents a more accurate picture of them, puns included:


- Eino Ahmasto will not attend the European Athletics Championship
- The reason given is a sudden sprain
THE PREVIOUS NIGHT:
- Come on Eino, stay a while longer
- Well all right... but just one pint

(The word for sprain/strain, "venähdys", is also used when you're out at night and "suddenly" one pint turns into jägerbombs and whatnot. The expression is "ilta venähti", which would literally be "the evening sprained". Of course "venähdys" comes from "venyä", which means to stretch, so the expression can also mean "the evening stretched" which kind of works in English too, but that's enough :words: about Thule-raiding pygmies.)

This has been explicitly confirmed several times now. My favourite example was one time where he had a prisoner and just started beating the poo poo out of him and goes "Eventually I'm going to ask you some questions. When I do, feel free to answer promptly." then just carries on with the beating.
