also, like, his shoes are clean. the tennis playing nephew might've changed out of his shoes because they had cement on them (and been using a cane incorrectly in a failed attempt to frame his brother).

the lack of 1 - 1 mapping between the information in the information and solutions is what's so drat dumb about Inspector Danger. At least when Slylock racially profiles someone, you understand why the solution is what it is.

This. For some reason, I find the strip really endearing even if it's mundane lots of times. Also, I think there might be a bit lost in Metro's translation that may make it a little more rote than it was originally intended to be.

Yeah, really I'd just read Nemi for her adorable facial expressions.

It's a breath of fresh air from Brooke's hellmaws that are supposed to be goofy, but you know he's sitting at his drawing table sniffing his own fart from a champagne glass and commending himself for being so classy and sophisticated that he could draw such a silly face without it being a black mark on his career as an artiste.

Yeah, Nemi's silliness is fun to look at, and I like the strips with her boyfriend, who appears to be like the lead singer from dethklok's twin brother or something.

The strips with quotes are awful and lazy though, but never as bad as the bottom half of this thread.

I think Nemi is bad but I always read it anyway and never really had any reason or desire to state that I think it's bad, so that's why I never said anything about it.

I agree with you on both counts.

The strips about Nemi and Grimm are usually pretty funny to me and my wife because they might as well be strips about me and her.
