> Knock a stiff one back and get to sleuthing.Problem Sleuth is the third webcomic under the MS Paint Adventures banner, written by Andrew Hussie, and was arguably the one which first brought Hussie and his work into the limelight. Written and presented in the style of an ersatz text/point-and-click adventure game, it details the antics of three especially hardboiled detectives—Problem Sleuth, Ace Dick, and Pickle Inspector—in their attempts to get out of their offices, all the while working to aid the turmoil-stricken kingdoms of the Weasels, Clowns, Hogs, and Elves and to foil the dastardly plots of Mobster Kingpin.While initially presented as a take on the Film Noir genre, its strength is in how it parodies numerous point-and-click adventures, JRPG mechanics, video game tropes, and its ever-increasingly complicated story, which still eventually ties up all loose ends neatly. Much like its successor Homestuck, it also demonstrates a very steady level of Art Evolution up until the end, evolving from relatively-crude static panels to increasingly-complex panels depicting Super Move Portrait Attacks, Summon Magic, and Wave Motion Guns galore.Warning: High chance of spoilers. Proceed with caution.

Randomized Damage Attack
 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_15430b2f
comment
Randomized Damage Attack: The Catenative Doomsday Dice Cascader is a machine that uses a process of dice-rolling to determine the damage it deals. First, a central dice is rolled to decide how many of the six others will be rolled to determine the actual damage. All the selected dice are then rolled, and each result is multiplied by the previous total to determine the sides of the next die (for instance, if the centra die rolls a six and the second one a two, all further dice have twelve sides; if the third rolls a seven then all further dice will have ninety-six sides, and so on). This can end with a final with a monstrous number of sides, which is then rolled to determine how much damage is dealt to the target. The Cascader is used in a non-canon strip against the Midnight Crew, ending with a final die with over fifty trillion sides. It rolls a one.

Hufflepuff House: The Clowns. While we learn quite a bit about the Elves (introducing us to the concept of Elemental items), the Weasels (recurring allies), and the pigs (Dick's Quest), the Clowns just show up when needed and otherwise give out Pie Fillings. We do know they were important to Mobster Kingpin's quest, but all of that was offscreen.

Fantastic Drug: Candy liquor. Not alcohol made with sugar or flavored to taste like candy, mind — actual confections melted down and brewed like hooch.

comment
"Burly Detective" Syndrome: Parodied by having nearly every relevant humans identified by a description as part of the comic's Film Noir setting. The boys get names like "Pickle Inspector" and "Churlish Toff", girls are referred to as "Nervous Broad" and "Hysterical Dame", even the main villain is just known as "Mobster Kingpin" in the narration. The only main character exempt from this is Madame Murel.

 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_3b4f620a
comment
No Fourth Wall: On a couple of occasions the characters look up an FAQ for the game on GameFAQs and input cheat codes to bypass certain parts of the "game". At one point in the game, Ace Dick beats someone to death with a stat meter. When DMK's final form starts generating additional life bars, Problem Sleuth starts physically attacking the life bars.

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Inverted; the main three male detectives start with guns, and the two female alter egos get melee weapons. Played straight with Mobster Kingpin's iron knuckles and when Nervous Broad gets her hands on the paint stripper.

Escaped from Hell
 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_3e8d3ea5
comment
Escaped from Hell: Parodied, where upon dying, characters are sent to the Afterlife (where they play various board games with Death), which they can simply open the door to and return to the land of the living, no "Fighting your way out" required (although Bumblebee Prof. gets sent to a different afterlife that doesn't seem escapable, and a more traditional Fire and Brimstone Hell is shown at some point). Later on, the door gets blocked, preventing any further escapes.

Magikarp Power: Ace Dick has a special attack called the Truffle Shuffle, which has absolutely no effect and usually ends with him being killed. However, if he combines his Truffle Shuffle with one or more additional Ace Dicks, it can turn into an incredibly devastating attack.

Useless Useful Spell: BELLY OF THE WHALE!!! Ace Dick's Operandi is basically an instant-KO move, swallowing the enemy whole...the only problem is that, whenever it's used, it's either completely ineffective or simply extorted and turned against him. The only time it DID work was when he used it to swallow himself.

Morph Weapon: All weapons exhibit object duality — they double as an innocuous object that randomly switches from one form to another whether or not the user wants them to.

Medium Awareness: Problem Sleuth is fully aware that he's in a video game. Whenever he's too lazy to put up with the webcomic's weird puzzle shit, he takes advantage of this knowledge by printing out cheat codes, re-loading save states, and looking up walkthroughs from Game Faqs.

Theme Table: Each detective has a certain body type (which in turn are each associated with a type of food, a truck carrying that food, and a district of the city that is named after the makers of that food, a gentleman with some sort of optical accessory, and a room in the Sleazy Brothel in the sky), an office, something keeping them from escaping their office, a different kind of window/portal to the World of Imagination, a stat in which they excel, a standard weapon/key, a candy weapon, a type of candy armor, a Super Mode based on both a classic movie monster and type of candy, a Distaff Counterpart (each of which have their own weapon/other object, two of which get a weapon/object used in painting and a undergarment that warps their physical properties, and one of which is just a clone of one of the detectives wearing a wig), an ultimate move, and a non-human race they go on a quest for (each of which terrorizes another of the races somehow, and each of which has some kind of emissary and a champion that represents a Fantasy Character Class). Mobster Kingpin gets in on most of this as well.

Literal Metaphor: The Lazy Susan of Endowment seems like just another fake game mechanic used to initiate the previously mentioned Comb Rave, but turns out there is a physical manifestation of it in the world. Mobster Kingpin exploits this by replacing one of its receptacles with the one that he uses, allowing his boss form to use his own super move.

The Treachery of Images: The window on Problem Sleuth's front door quickly turns out to just be a piece of paper taped to it. Inverted with Ace Dick, when the piece of paper taped to his door turns out to be an actual window. Then we get Pickle Inspector punching through his window, thinking it's paper... which turns out to have no glass at all, just a hole with some floating letters connected to an elf's elevator shaft.

Mind Screw: It can become increasingly difficult to tell where (and when) everybody is. Summed up in this line: "You're not totally sure, but you think this means there are now three Ace Dicks running around." Mind Screwdriver: Thank goodness Godhead Pickle Inspector explains it all at one point. He also thinks you should just relax and have fun, and not worry too much about it. And then Death provides a recap later. And later there's one by the Devil.

Nice Mean And In Between: Pickle Inspector is the nice of the bunch, being a generally polite and affable fellow. The brutish Ace Dick lacks manners and falls into being the meanest one. Problem Sleuth is a smooth talker who is capable of convincing people with his charisma, but isn't particularly polite, so he's the in-between.

The Gods Must Be Lazy: GPI will only respond to the command "Fondly regard creation". He actually does do two things, but those things are create the universe via Stable Time Loop with the help of the temporally-replicating Pickle Inspectors and sewing the universe back together when it is torn apart. Never once does he directly help the protagonists, except for perhaps in this instance.

Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: Team Sleuth is notoriously bad at writing insults to each other. Ace Dick calls Problem Sleuth an "Ass Hole" (note the space), PS can't even rhyme his insults, and the worst PI can come up with is meekly stating that Problem Sleuth is impolite. PS would later use a similar letter about how much DMK sucks as ammo for his Pax Problicum attack, which somehow actually shook the guy enough to make a serious spike to his Sick Burn meter.

Turns Red: Ace Dick does this literally when he becomes Fiesta Ace Dick in the Transformation Sequence linked immediately above. When the final boss is down to his last Health Aegis, he gains an extra health bar (for a total of three bars), instantaneous regeneration, and more aggressive attacks. When he's brought down to his final health bar, he spawns an excessive number of health bars, to the dismay of the MSPA readers.

Purely Aesthetic Era: Problem Sleuth is supposed to be set in The Roaring '20s, but you wouldn't know that if they didn't mention bootlegging and Prohibition. At one point PS looks up a solution to a puzzle on GameFAQs.

Webcomic Print Collection: The entire comic has been compiled into 5 volumes at Topatoco.com, with commentary and a foreword by Ryan North as well as several notes from the author. Sadly, they've all gone out of print.

Opposite-Sex Clone: Subverted. Ace Dick had too little imagination for a Distaff Counterpart, and instead just became a clone of himself with a blonde wig/Prussian Picklehaube.

Incredibly Lame Pun: Fondly regard creation/crustacean/crenellation/donation. Succumb to unfathomable bloodlust/bratwurst. It has a HAIRPIN trigger. It could be that these are the one thousand angels which are said to dance on the head of a pin...Or the head of a KINGPIN. You attempt to woo your fan by turning it on. The Infinite Summation Honeybee Professor peppers his speech with bee-related puns ("Avoid 1:1 duplications which will lead to unwelcome 100% matter accretions, and you'll keep hiving a honey of a time!") until he gets muted. Then Honeybee Professor gets right back at it once he gets unmuted. And then there's this.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: All the boys wanted was to escape their offices and get on with their sleuthing. To do so, they had to journey through fantastic worlds a hundred times over, die a few times, solve a perplexing number of preposterous puzzles, subject themselves to reality-warping shenanigans of a profound nature, and engage in an entirely-too-long, highly-difficult, insanely-complex fight against a demonic mobster. But, in the end, they get their reward. The world is real.

 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_f76f8dd0
comment
Role-Playing Game 'Verse: All of the detectives and the Mobster Kingpin have (weirdly named) stats and hitpoints—towards the end more and more bizarre bonus powers also appear. Imagination: Magic, intelligence, and bonus to power in Imaginary areas. Pulchritude: Evasion and Diplomacy/Charisma. Vim: Strength and Health. Each also has a expendable item that temporarily boosts it much in the manner of potions. Imagination is boosted by alcohol, Pulchritude is boosted by candy, and Vim is boosted by hotsauce. Early in the game, Vim is boosted by coffee, so really any hot drink will do.

Running Gag
 Problem Sleuth (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Items switching back and forth between weapons and completely unrelated objects (e.g., a revolver becoming keys or a chainsaw becoming lipstick), responding to characters attempting to ride something like a mechanical bull (at times something about to explode) with "Wow, what a fucking waste of time!" and weasels "flipping the fuck out". Business cards loaded with Double Entendre. Subverted with Glass Blowers, Inc. Ace Dick punches X in the snout to establish superiority. Xhearst is particularly enamored by your rowdy, no-nonsense brand of ruffianism. Ace Dick's astonishing lack of imagination to the point where all of his alter egos are just him. And of course: "Quickly retrieve arms from [X]." "You've already got arms, [another word for idiot]!" "Throw hat down in disgust."
