    So, the joke is just paedophilia?

    Edit: Okay so according to the comment below “Elementary, my dear Watson” is his catch phrase. hence, the joke. Thanks for clearing that up Famko.

      It’s a pretty lame comic trying to ride on having a controversial “punchline.”

      If it was posted on a larger site like reddit it would probably be on front-page just because of the drama and controversy people would extract from it.

      This is an unusual comment I’m gonna make, unusual for me b/c I get phased by violent content and not dark humor

      Comic made me a little uncomfortable maybe because it’s actually showing implied child abuse. If it’s just alluded to then it’s just your imagination and you don’t imagine it well enough way it’s painful, but they show it & it’s like “bro that guy’s a child rapist holy shit wtf”

      Plus the lowest possible defense, 4chan-esque “akshually ephebophilia” “but in Japan…”, don’t even fly for Sherlock

      Edit: also there’s no greater point as you’ve mentioned, like if he wore a Jared Subway mask… potential big change in vibe

        Sherlock Holmes’ “catchphrase”, for lack of a better term, is “Elementary, my dear Watson”, which is parodied in this comic.

          Fun fact though, Sherlock never actually says these phrases together. He does say “Elementary” and “… my dear Watson” but not together.

          But really this is just an “akchtually” comment

            To akchtually your akchtually… He doesn’t say it in the original books, but he has been saying in secondary sources for over a 100 years. So I don’t think people are wrong in saying that it’s his catch phrase.

              I’d like to think of an akchtually to your akchtually but I actually can’t think of anything to rebut with.
