And I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling kid!

I always figured that Bugs Meany was up to no good with all those Hustler magazines.

Encyclopedia Brown was never called an asshole.

Yeah, when I was a boy I had a radar for porn built in. It was amazing. Except that sometimes the porn was "real people" and I'd get in trouble for "undressing them with my eyes".


And masturbating.

Subby doesn't read enough fanfic. I bet it's out there somewhere.

Yes, but Japan...

The kid probably followed the guy in hopes of getting the new release of "Tentacle Geisha vol. 13", but when the dude told him to scram the kid called the cops.

Fear not: Encyclopedia Brown is not really very obscure.

So all it takes to be a sleuth is to follow someone? Wow.

Well, the girls would turn the color Of an avacado when he would drive down their street in his El Dorado. He was only 4'3", girls could not resist his stare.

"We thanked the boy for reporting it," the spokesman said, adding that the police were thinking about giving him an award.

Cop: Here ya go kid (sliding one of the DVDs to him)

I used to read it all the time when I was in elementary school. Best part was figuring it out, then going to the back of the book, turning the page upside down and finding out you were right.

I've always thought it had some sort of cult following.

I know that little boy. He reminds me of my 10-year-old athletic son. Do him...sure.

Police immediately arrested 28-year-old Ryo Ishigaki for allegedly stealing a box of pornographic DVDs worth 70,000 yen, police said.


70 000 Japanese yen = 750.89 U.S. dollars.

If you're paying for porn DVDs, it must be really good porn. $750, it must be custom-made porn, perhaps.

What do you mean, Subby? You never read The Case of the Wandering Wank Mags?

Reading Detective Conan, getting a kick, etc.

Well, we'll have to let Ryu go. He's got a great alibi, saying he was on commuter train at the time of the robbery.

"Not so fast," said Encycropedia Brown-san. "He's covered in evidence. He just doesn't know it."

Why was Encycropedia Brown-san so sure? Turn to page 178

I didn't think it was the least bit obscure, but then I made a reference to Encyclopedia Brown and none of the people I was hanging out with had a clue what I was talking about, so now I'm not so sure.

It's why you don't go down on japanese girls, not if you don't want to catch that, dude.
