Deduce, You Say! / int_922ec657	comment	Corrupted Character Copy: Dorlock Holmes is clearly a Sherlock Homage — he's a British detective; his name matches Holmes' almost exactly, and he has a politer sidekick called Watkins (whose name is a few letters from Watson). He's as clueless as Holmes is super-competent, as well as being flighty and quick-tempered where Holmes is controlled. Finally, though Holmes is a jerk, he legitimately wants to stop evil and protect the innocent. Dorlock threatens a little old lady with arrest for "hawking dandelions without a license."
