INSPECTOR DANGER’S CRIME-QUIZ Do you love whodunit-mysteries? Are you a Columbo-fan? Would you like to be a detective too? Here’s your chance. The comic strip “Inspector Danger’s Crime-Quiz” by Werner Wejp-Olsen, world-renowned cartoonist, is a crime-puzzle challenging armchair sleuths of both genders and all ages to activate their Sherlock Holmes-gene to figure out the right solution and solve the case. The main characters are the tough and rough Inspector Danger, all criminals’ worst nightmare, and Alfie, his dim-witted assistant and still a rookie after seven years on the force. In just a few panels, a whole mystery plot is being presented with a number of suspects and clues for the reader to check out and by deduction come up with the right solution to the crime. These mysteries span from cold-blooded murders, safecracking and bank robbery to art thefts, kidnapping and every now and then even a Peeping Tom – all presented with a humorous twist. But in each strip – in each case, the reader has all the suspects and clues needed to come up with the right answer – and as a safety devise – a solution (printed upside down - sorry!).
DISCLAIMER All characters appearing in this comic strip are fictitious. Any resemblance to the real world, real crime scenes and actual criminals is purely coincidental, unintentional and not to be taken too literally.
To quote a famous Grook by Piet Hein:
“Taking fun as simply fun
and earnestness in earnest
shows how thoroughly
thou none of the two discernest.”
By the way - no animals were harmed during the production of this comic strip.

what the hell? how do we know know what car doesn’t have a jack? and why do the wheels look like they came off Fred Flintstone’s car.

The picture at the bottom is just misleading! Makes it look like it’s necessary.
Of course, that’s what makes it a good problem. Unnecessary info is good for that.

You aren’t meant to solve these things. Just be dumbfounded by the sheer idiocy :p

yes, nice red herring

I thought we were supposed to be able to figure it out by the clues. The only way to figure this one out would have been to (a) know that the thief used his own jack and (b) to be able to look in each car’s tool kit to see which one is missing the jack. In the meantime, I have some questions for the tire inventor.

This is lame. I was looking to see which car had a bad tire.

EXACTLY!

And on top of all that, 28 minutes to amass at least 5 cars? Wouldn’t that require warrants? This strip never surprises me with its stupidity.

I’m telling you, folks, this strip is a prank on the masses, THAT IS ITS PURPOSE.
However, because it’s often bereft of logic, it invites vigorous debates and some hilarious one-liners, therefore it has high entertainment value, HOWEVER UNINTENDED.

I don’t get it. Guess I just go with it…whatever “it” is.

Warrants? Warrants? We don’t need no steenking warrants.

Here’s an alternate solution: if it was dark and with the headlights of the Novox in that position, there is no way Baldy could have made out anything from the license plate at all, so he just made something up. In fact it was meant to be a (new) case of insurance fraud spolit by Danger’s untimely appearance.

I think I may have to edit this off my list. I’m a college graduate and love mysteries and puzzles, but these are just unbelievably stupid.

If his new tyre is so great, how come he was changing it? And I don’t see an abandoned tyre jack lying on the road either.

He wasn’t changing the tyre — the thief was trying to steal it. The abandoned jack is not lying in the road, it’s still holding up the car after the thief went on the lam.
