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.

I was thinking motorcycle with a sidecar, but thought the tires would be the same size.

Better stripsearch the blonde, just to be sure.

Suspect three didn’t have a car either, why couldn’t he be the suspect?
I agree that the blonde should be stripsearched …just to be sure.

I think the Volvo 560 is this Indiana Jones sidecar:

Maybe just me, but if I were going to do a hit-and-run murder, a motorcycle with a sidecar wouldn’t be my first choice. Too much danger to me, personally on that.
About the wheel differences: That is to be expected, the heavier, wider tires are on the bike itself while the smaller tire is on the sidecar.

Okay…we all agree on the procedure for the blond chick.

Smart cars have different front and rear sizes, not that it would be the answer to this crime.
On a side note, it’s nice to see the entire crime reviewed all-in-one shot, instead of being spread out over the week — although this particular layout of the responses from the suspects would not be conducive to breaking the responses up…

@Bruno Zeigerts
yes, stripsearch the blond!

A motorcycle with a side car will have three different tires. The steer tire will be over-ridden by the larger drive tire so it might not be readily noticeable, the side car has a smaller wheel— not much larger than a bicycle tire.
Smart cars have two different sizes? Just a guess, the front is smaller than the rear? It won’t be a smaller tire on one side than the other,I think.

Just because suspect #3 does not own a car does not mean he doesn’t own any vehicle. like a truck or motocycle

Seems if I were planning a murder, I’d choose some other weapon. A sidecar motorcycle leaves too many chances for me to get hurt when the machine flips— which it just might, it was the sidecar that hit the victim. Those things aren’t all that stable and when the sidecar ran over the victim there was an excellent chance the machine could flip onto the other side.

I though we were going to see a daily strip. What happen to that idea?

This one wasn’t bad. I recall measuring the track, the distance between tires, then pulling up specs online to narrow down the choices. Hummer would be a lot wider than a VW beetle, to be sure. Eliminate several suspects right away.
