Searching for Little Grey Cells

 

I was introduced to Hercule Poirot by my in-laws. Not sure how I hadn't heard of him before, but then again I didn't know much about Agatha Christie other than she was a writer in the mystery genre. As for the unfinished comic, I could not decide who to put as the foil so I leave it up to your imagination. 

Explanation: Detective Poirot uses the phrase "little grey cells" for his brain. Instead of asking where someone's mind has wandered off to, you can use this phrase instead!

Buck Tooth Comb

Ah, the classic mistake of using the buck-tooth comb instead of the fine-tooth one. Anyone can make it. Actually, that would be one of those "what do we even HAVE this?" situations. (I'm referring to the excellent scene in "The Emperor's New Groove" where Yzma exclaims "Why do we even HAVE that lever?!") I would like the buck-tooth comb to come up in a CSI show. I am waiting on offers, please contact me if you'd like to use it :)

Searching for Motivation

Sometimes the end of the work day feels like this. Specifically when you're working on a task and you get stuck and need inspiration but to get inspiration you need both to focus and to be motivated and it's difficult. But sometimes you get a text from your spouse who says you can do it so you do.

M: What are you trying to find?
L: My focus and motivation.
