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.

Just like the ones I remember doing as a little kid! This strip is so nostalgic.

Marge Simpson takes hers off to go to bed, so this must be true.

somehow the two umbrellas in the stand must be clues. they always are
why would anybody’s fingerprints be on the pearls?

@mrbribery
Because owner would use her hands to take it off and put on?

But you can’t convict someone on the lack of evidence. This would be an argument from silence.

As usual, the string of pearls is not enough to even effect an arrest. But, it does give the inspector the first good clue about where and who to look at.

You could have worn gloves, you idiot!

The dummy could’ve said it was an accidental fall without putting the pearls on the stairs.

Not very imaginative, and nobody to strip-search.

Problem: Expensive, rare pearls are always strung with knots between them, to keep them from being scattered this way. The husband would have had more work doing the deed, but it wouldn’t have been fast.

This strip is fun! I think there is a third clue. Really expensive pearls are strung such that there is a knot between each pearl, so there should have been at most one pearl on the staircase.

Oops, what momsaid said…

Basically a good one – there is just one problem: why would the husband wipe his fingerprints off the pearls? If the police find his fingerprints on the pearls, what would that prove? Only that he sometimes helped his wife put them on.
