Housepets!

[ The Mystery of Spot ]

Title Text: Join Spot (professor) next time in: Murder for Die-ner!


I am starting to like Professor Spot better than superhero Spot! Superdog.

A case worthy of Sherlock Holmes.

Nice change of pace, seeing Professor Spot do a whole issue by himself. When was the last time?

A nothing like a good old fashioned murder mystery with humour. It's Get Smart but with anthropomorphic characters.

Zoinks! Who doesn't love a good mystery?

There's something I've forgot
even though it's all the plot;
I know I'm now on the Spot...
I'm off, like a speeding shot.
I forgot the Victim you know
If there even is one to show.
I'll get one so fears don't grow
although my failure's a low blow.
I've read a lot of Miss Christie
but I've always been to hasty
to see what Marple saw.
The clues I've missed before.

Great minds think alike.

Or Rick's been watching the BBC'S 'Death in Paradise' series.

With this chapter of 'spot (professor)' I noticed that we never see spot (professor) and spot (superdog) together. I think their may be a link but not sure. I'll have to investigate futher.

Also rick tagged 'spot (superdog)' but I only see 'spot (professor)' I think i found a clue.


EDIT: Fixed typo

Gotta give credit to Peanut, he knows how to satirize and is brilliant at comedy.

Every single thing you say is made funny by that Awesome Face Kitsune avatar.

I clicked the 'murder mystery party' tag and was disappointingly not brought to "Let's Imaginate: And Then There Were None!" :c

*saxophone* ♩ ♪ ♩ ♪ ♩
Mei-tantei Spot is off to have a nap now, because he does all his best deductions while asleep

Spot: THE BUTLER DID IT!

Stripe: OBJECTION!

Now I really want to see a Spot and Phoenix Wright comic.

Well, Peanut did write Housepets.

Last Panel: Spot is going to murder someone just to keep the plot going.

So he's essentially going to become Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote.

She didn't murder people, silly.
She had the murders arranged.

This goes to show that people will do crazy/desperate things when put on the spot...

Perhaps it was the producers - they'd have motive.

It's nice to see the Spot comics again.

I remember watching Murder, She Wrote with my grandmother on A&E when I was younger.

Brilliant work professor. Truly an impressive- wait. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!

Another weirdness made by Spot, this time in the professor clothes... But why he has to act so? Is he tired to be a good superhero? Probably, is just that Peanut is short of worth ideas for his comic, but this one isn't bad... Maybe Spot the professor is the villain... Spot, it's certainly you who's attempting to plan the murdering, but why don't complete it before start to do the investigation? You always have to go to repair your "mistakes"... Stay away from him!

Ooh, a superhero with split personality disorder who is also a supervillain? Interesting... Very interesting.

Just from the last panel you can tell this is gonna be great~

Also yea Spot does look suspicious

Darn it spot, if you want to look like a professor put on a cardigan or something. You're not supposed to combine chemistry with... Er, chemistry. It's ruining the facade.
... Wait, is that Spot's evil twin, Tops?

wait wait wait... Why is Spot holding a lollipop? Peanut, what are you thinking?

So we still on one-offs then?

I think this will be the last one off, Spot usually appears to cap thing off.
I must agree with 1071-CNN, Gamewolf67's avatar is hilarios.
Also AuraSight's avatar works perfectly with his/her comment.

On a somewhat related note, there is no better username than Amazee Dayzee.

Or at least make such a comment in addition to a comment that's on-topic.

Yaknow Spot could have just punched the yellow dog to death. Bam. Instant murder mystery.

He could have, but then it wouldn't be so much a mystery as a sign of Peanut seriously needing therapy .

It's from his trip to the Land of Eternal Candy.

Peanut tends to draw first, then think about plot points later and it shows.

This week on Spot (Professor): Can you spot the murder?
Spot seems pretty quick to spot that Captain Lem was actually Mr. Chester, maybe the whole time he was in league with them!
You know, Spot seems to be in quite a spot of bother...

Too much?

I find that the Spot comics are among the best written in the comic. Though less ambitious, being more self contained, they are so undeniably witty. Peanut is actually quite brilliant.

Spot (Professor) is always one step ahead ... even of himself

No, I'd say you were spot on.

I just noticed the "Part 7". What the heck did we miss?!

Its probably the 7th try that he was happy with.
