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.

Oh really? It took me 5 minutes on google to find stores in beijing that sell teacups with handle. You, maker of Inspector Danger, are full of [censored].

Okay… who guessed the teacup? You win … what is it we win again?

If that’s the case, the toast’s equally likely to give it away. Bread is not something that they use frequently

This makes no sense at all – the credentials were sent by the Chinese, not by Mr. 99 Faces.

China is highly westernised in all the superficial ways- more than Japan.

It couldn’t just because Inspector called that particular Chinese police department and determined that the picture was false.

It couldn’t be because of the lack of any other suspects— something uncommon in an Inspector Danger bit, where you usually have to sift through half a dozen suspects.

I actually thought it was the way he bowed when he greeted danger.

I agree, the assault weapon was nearly a dead giveaway . . . ☻

In the first picture the hair was parted on the opposite side as when they met.

“PROBABLY”… thats quite certainly maybe the most vague hint I have ever seen so far.

I didn’t know about Chinese teacups… until a reader gave away the answer a few strips back. That’s another problem with the strip-a-day format. Can we just go back to the full strip on Mondays as in the good ol’ times?

I totally believed the photo, due to the smoking opium pictured along with the tea.
