In addition to serving as the set up for several jokes among the Minami sisters, it also employs some excellent comedy in its own right. In particular, it parodies many anime related cliches, such as recycling animation to cut costs, and the mysterious hit-and-run vehicle.

Does that make me a PhotoShop geek? :eek: The paper actually makes me giggle more than what you have written on it, which is saying something. Does that make me a PhotoShop geek? :eek:

Probably because Canadian dollars are mostly used for buying weed and tickets to hockey games, whereas American money is mostly used for buying off and/or invading other countries. @ IKnight Heh, but his novels were always a bit tongue in cheek, so resorting to tropes that like is pretty much expected. If a man with a gun didn't come through the door, and instead the detective calmly solved the case through basic forensics, the readers would all be horribly disappointed. ;) Also just as an aside, the above screenshot came from Darker than Black episode 14, Yin’s backstory.

Hit'n'run trucks are obviously an anime equivalent of Raymond Chandler's 'When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand' rule for writing.

We've had an update on the wild hit and run case, it turns out a popular Mermaid girl by the name of Sun encountered this lunatic when he tried to run over one young Mawari Zenigata, daughter of the popular Lupin the III detective. (At least I like to think so.) Witnesses describe the incident as a high level sonic attack that blasted the car off the road just seconds before running miss Zenigata down, whom sustained only minor injuries and was released from the hospital that night. The demon car is still at large, so we advise our viewers to keep a stock of silver potatoes to shove up it's tailpipe, as it seems to be it's only weakness. That and teenage girls with super sonic voices. And now we move off to Blacu-Weather forcast with Olie Williams, Olie? <i><b>IT'S COLD!</b></i> Thank you Olie. This just in!
