Dreadlock Holmes: Unmasked!
I just couldn’t let the last week’s comic stand. Even it was funny, it was just too out of character for Dreadlock.
At first this strip was missing the 2nd and 3rd last word balloons. It went right from the blue guy’s answer to him in jail, but people weren’t getting the gag. I needed to connect the dots a little better.
Riddles are usually right up my alley. I feel bad for the poor blue guy. I totally relate to him. In the past I’ve run across a few quizmasters that stuck to the answer that was in the book, or the one they were given when they on the receiving end, rather than a perfectly reasonable one I came up with. There’s a weird logic within riddles that some times says “be creative here, but not over here” I’ve got some more riddle frustration to vent in further strips for sure.

Okay, Egghead I get, but what makes him a Mega-Egghead? Is there a smaller one running around impersonating midgets?

What makes him a Mega-Egghead? Montessori home schooling!

You think you’re pretty clever, don’t you? Also, what about a meggahead?

That’s just a large head with poor spelling capacities.
Also, as far as new answers to old riddles go, Mirror Mask has an interesting one to the classic sphinx riddle if you haven’t seen it yet.

Hahaha, I like the fop-guy’s new beard.

I think that’s just his scarf.
