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.

Tonight’s show is called The Mystery of the Exploding Barbecue.

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.
