I had a coworker who tried talking like this but nobody would take him up on the conversation. He'd just walk up and ask "Which would you rather be: turned into a Dalek or turned into a Cyberman?" and I'd say "Gee that's tough, I'll have to think about it." I guess I'm still thinking about it.

You can't be turned into a Dalek, they're a whole other species.

Not originally, although anything can be mutated into an "American thing" over time. Ask the Brits about what we did with rounders.

What the gently caress? No. You don't do this. You don't have a character say there were no prints and then give the solution as "lol, found a print".

That's just bullshit :argh:

Maybe if the tech had said, "I checked all over the outside of the drone and couldn't find a print." That would be fair.

Nobody likes how they look in a three-way mirror. There's all sorts of reasons behind it, like the angles refracting to create an image that shows us how we actually look, instead of the reversed look that we have in the mirror. Mostly it's just seeing our own butts when we usually don't.

I'm sad this isn't one of the Inspector Danger solutions that ends up with the Inspector just kind of declaring one of the suspects guilty and then claiming he confessed during interrogation. Makes me fondly remember the days of Shylock Fox and his vendetta against the underclasses and raccoon.

At this point I'm not even sure if Inspector Danger is even supposed to be solvable. Maybe it's just presented as a puzzle but isn't actually one? Even accepting bullshit like "we found a finger print when we it was explicitly stated that there aren't any" there is no way for the reader to pin it down to any one suspect, it's completely unsolvable.

My Lovely Horse
Aug 21, 2010

The list of suspects in this case is a red herring, there to distract you from the fact that the question isn't "who did it" but "how can Inspector Danger (maybe) still find out who did it?" Giving additional details in the solution is just what the strip does every time.

Inspector Danger is pretty much the equivalent of your uncles asking you trick questions when you're five.

I was going to say the same thing. None of the panels after the "I didn't find any prints" one have anything to do with anything. Inspector Danger could have just said "wait, I think I have an idea...", and then you could end the comic with "what was his idea?" Then you've saved yourself having to draw another half-dozen lump-shaped people!
