Deduce, You Say! / int_25524784 | comment |
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Dorlock fails miserably against Slasher every time, but it's threatening to arrest the man's mother that really gets him pummeled. | |

Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Exaggerated. Daffy as Dorlock Holmes rudely interrogates innocent civilians; Porky's Dr. Watkins gets the villain to give himself up just by asking him politely. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: When an old woman arrives to the bar selling flowers, Holmes instantly jumps all over her and threatens to have her arrested for peddling without a license. Unfortunately for Holmes, she's the Slasher's mother. | |

Almost Dead Guy: Subverted. The case is touched off when a man collapses on their front stoop. However, when Dorlock begins to analyze the "corpse," he gets up. Turns out, he just tripped over the step. | |

Corrupted Character Copy | |
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." | |

Deduce, You Say! / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Conversed; Holmes boasts that he can't see how the Slasher can hope to withstand Holmes' superior skill, but the Slasher demonstrates exactly how immediately: by flexing his arm to reveal a bicep almost as big as Holmes himself. | |

Oh, Crap!: When Dorlock attempts to arrest a little old lady for "hawking dandelions without a licence", the Slasher recognizes her as his own mother. Given that he's failed miserably every time he's fought the Slasher, this quickly tells Dorlock that he's in trouble: | |
