I frequently will go gaps without posting due to job and other annoyances.
That’s the same kid giving all the clues. He just follows Vindalf around from country to country selling info. How? Why? These are the world building details I can’t be bothered with. Suffice to say that this universe often works on Looney-Tunes physics. In this case, Vindalf was too quick on the uptake and “The Kid” didn’t even have time to change.

Vindalf isn’t smart enough to be bogged down with actual detective work, so he moves very quickly. Also, since he’s a *Main Character* the clues practically jump out at him.
This is one of my favourite ones because it called for a minimalist style which lined up with that I can actually draw.

A V.I.L.E. Henchman, Vindalf must be on the right track! I have later found out that the Ministry of Quests is not very understanding about paying back loans. If this comic ever gets popular, I will have to start a patreon to help with that problem.

Interpol could do this, but it’s not called “The Adventures of Interpol”.

Among other things Carmen Sandiego has stolen: Hudson’s Bay, The Entire Icelandic Fish Harvest, The Mason-Dixon line, Haiti, Mount Everest, the Van Allen Belt… she possibly just walked off with the Eiffel tower in her purse and didn’t notice.

The second Eiffel Tower is well under construction. Stay tuned to find out what happened to the first one.

Canada needs to invest in bullet trains. The country is already mostly laid out along the old rail lines, so let’s just upgrade it. The general state of transportation up here is dismal. If I want to take a train from Fredericton (a provincial capital) to Toronto (centre of the universe) I have to start by driving two hours in the wrong direction. Then, the train ride will take 10 hours longer than driving. Then they wonder why ridership is so low.

This is where Jeff from the Minsitry is never heard from again, as the kid character became more fun. BTW, Everyone’s dressed as a stereotype because it’s a pseudo-medieval time and it’s the tourist district. Your photo with “real” samurai: $20. “Authentic” traditional art: $50-$500. Clues about your quest: $40…

San Marino is the world’s oldest republic, and possibly the only thing I really remembered from the original Carmen Sandiego game.
I would be a terrible detective in real life. I have no idea how to get information from people or put clues together. Luckily, this occurred to be before I finished filling out the application for for the RCMP. They’d have to post me to someplace like Nunavut so that I could solve every crime by just asking everyone within a day’s travel if they did it.
In the games, Carmen always leaves a few henchmen to make sure you’re going the right way.

I’m not sure how the government can tax experience points (might be called XP or EXP where you’re from, depending on how many bytes the programmers could spare). If there is a way, you can be sure the CRA would do it. “Jeff” never actually makes an apperance. His part was cut due to lazy writing and incompetent artwork.
