But… a “red herring” is something you’re supposed to think is responsible for the mystery, but ends up being a false lead. Why would the detective be named “Red Herring”? A suspect could be a red herring, not the detective.
This is a poor joke even by the low, low standards of this strip and its predecessor.

Welcome to AI, folks. It generates almost-human-like dialogue. It’s nearly impossible to tell the difference from the real Batty.

I quit reading Funky Winkerbean about a year ago, and it went away. Maybe I should quit reading Crankshaft too.
