Aborted Arc | |
InvestiGators (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Both Heist and Seek and All Tide Up have multiple teases towards Daryl’s return after his death in Braver and Boulder. Most significantly, the second-to-last scene in Heist and Seek has what appears to be a radioactive cracker version of Daryl. However, the following book does not pick up on this scene and continues teasing the return of Daryl throughout what seems to be a plot-point of dialogue between Mango and Brash about the possibility of Daryl returning, but it is eventually forgotten about as well. | |

Vomit Chain Reaction: Heist and Seek shows everyone puking green chunks after getting food poisoning from the hor d’oeuvres. It's quite graphic, even for a graphic novel. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
InvestiGators (Comic Book) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Off the Hook sort of ends this way. In the climax, the giant Waffledile actually eats Brash after Mango fails to save him. Brash is luckily saved in time by Hookline and Slinker just before the concrete Mango had no choice but to drop on Waffledile hardens. But now Brash is in a coma, forcing a robot replacement of him to take his place as Mango’s partner. Even more enforced for the trope, Waffledile did manage to promote T.A.I.L.Blazers team and raise awareness, as Cilantro and Maestronaut do find the flyers. | |

Angst Coma: Near the end of Off the Hook, Brash is in a coma after almost dying inside Crackerdile/Waffledile and is sent to the hospital. He is in perfectly healthy condition but there is something blocking his mind from waking up. He then has to be replaced by a robotic copy. In Ants in Our P.A.N.T.S., Mango helps Brash wake up from his coma by overcoming his fears and forgiving himself. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
InvestiGators (Comic Book) / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The giant ants in Ants in Our P.A.N.T.S. are the result of an accidental growth ray, the Embiggener. Eventually, RoboBrash also gets accidentally zapped by the ray and defeats the ants, before attacking Mango after unlocking his memories. He is then deactivated afterwards and stays in his giant form, now being used as a building. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Quite a few. Panksy, a criminal prankster opossum, is seen on the opening monologue of book 1 with no dialogue in an alleyway of criminals. Surprisingly, he would not appear in the series in a true role until a cameo with dialogue in book 5 before finally being a key supporting character in book 6. Bill Plungerman, a plumber who would be a very important character in books 3, 4, and 7, is also seen from the legs part fixing a pipe below a kitchen sink in a scene in book 1. Bill N. Dollaz, a millionaire who is later an antagonist in book 7, appears in book 6 in one scene. | |
