Digitally Speaking...40 "Detective Honeybear"

via Detective Honeybear

Detective Honeybear #1 (Creator Owned)

From 2013.

Please note, creators of Detective Honeybear: Speech inflections do not generally work in prose.  In an audio/visual medium (you know, film and television), this sort of character trait can work very well indeed.  Who doesn't love Kripke in The Big Bang Theory?

But in prose it's annoying.

Unfortunately, Detective Honeybear's speech inflection is exactly like Kripke's, and it's one of two defining features of the Detective Honeybear comic itself, including the fact that our dear Detective Honeybear is the only character to feature color in an otherwise black and white world.  

We get it.  It's supposed to be cutesy.  But it's not.  And the inflection is the worst idea.  Why cripple an idea that would be cutesy without drawing negative attention to this fact?

Solve that mystery, Detective Honeybear...
