It's been a long wait since the original Who Did It, but I'm so happy to finally see an example of a health inspector going above and beyond his job and getting the recognition he so rightfully deserves. He truly did do a great job.

[@faxjam]

His dedication to the job ensured that not a single customer could leave a bad review that day, he is the true hero every restaurant needs I'd like to think

[@BigBrainGamer58]

I like to imagine there is an alternate universe where he doesent dedicate himself to the job that much. It would be an absolute nightmare to live in

@@faxjam we need the next ep

[@lachlanmacrae1779]

I love how the detective seems to be insanely rambling about nothing but is actually figuring everything out. He could see that the note was written in cursive, a writing style few people in the building could even read, however, an official like the health inspector would instinctively write in this professional manner, the detective noticed that the note was also written with a two pronged object, further relating to the health inspector with his missing chip fork, he also notes that the chips "Needed more salt." This possibly relates to the chippie's reputation of "Leaving all customers satisfied" and since the detective was not satisfied by the chips, this means that an employee of the chippie wasn't responsible for the preparation, this is somewhat proven by the giant crab in the kitchen. He finally makes a decision to investigate the nearby Crab cabin for potential witnesses and pulls an artist's interpretation of the suspect out from the forensic lady's vacuum, filling the area with dust and, whether intentional or not, caused the mascot to sneeze revealing its hiding location.

2:29, This joke caught me SO off guard! I thought it was going for the obvious joke of "Oh it looks like blood on the page, but the detective is gonna say it's ketchup or something". Well played fax, well played.

[@faxjam]

I think that was the first joke I wrote down for this cartoon way back when I was bullet pointing gags and story beats. Thanks and glad you liked that one!

[@Flightning99]

@@faxjam It's the joke I was hoping for honestly. I knew you weren't going to just say blood, and ketchup is too obvious as well, so I cheered when the punchline came in and was the subversion I wanted!

Mate this is Adult Swim worthy, everything about this is so professional and genuinely funny and charming all the way through. You should genuinely consider pitching Who Did It because this deserves the spotlight.

[@faxjam]

thanks so much! really glad you think so, I was thinking of pitching it eventually since I have a bunch of ideas for it. I might wrap up this story with the second part and then put the two parts together to make a full pilot of sorts. whatever happens I'll keep you all in the loop!

Ahh Cheers! really glad you think so and hopefully I can deliver a satisfying conclusion to this mystery. will keep you all updated on the next part

[@terracottagecheese2767]

I love this! And I especially I love the little detail that the detective uses a tape recorder to record himself while the crime scene cleaner uses her cell phone instead. It really adds to the idea that the detective is so much older: almost like a relic of the past.

[@faxjam]

thankyou!! glad you enjoyed the small detail, I mirrored the shot from the first who did it when he is bending down to look at the breadcrumbs for that bit where she gets her phone out

[@7070alexander]

Eagerly anticipating the 5 second sequel revealing the killer to be none other than the honest bartender from the first Who Did It.

[@juliiju0484]

They had been looking at this the wrong way. They should just have asked people "did you do it?" and arrest the first person who said yes.

[@elecric]

The writing, The pacing, The animation, The humor it all blends together so well. Every character has their own personalities and unique quirks. Like the detective making overly complicated notes into his recorder. The rookie being overly obsessive about contaminating the evidence. And the detective is just a fun character all around feels like soos from gravity falls. The pacing is amazingly handled and I wasnt bored the entire way through and was wondering what was going to happen next. The animation is incredibly well done just all around. And has good moments of humor like when you did a detailed look of their face. Their movements capture the art of animation so well as animation is doing things that cameras cant like peoples neck extending and things like that. And just the little details that really make this amazing. Like how we cant read the note until the rookie reads it. The characters doing their own things in the background. (also that scene in the freezer was so well animated bravo)

[@faxjam]

I really appreciate your thoughts on the cartoon and I'm glad you enjoyed all those different elements. Took ages to write and animate so it means a lot! Hopefully in the next part I can develop these characters even more whilst still delivering the funnies. Will keep you all updated, the supportive feedback like this is getting me hyped to continue this when I get the chance!

[@BigBrainGamer58]

I just realized the red man (is his name pork chop?) has a suspicious chin in a couple scenes. 7:33 is this foreshadowing something in the future

[@cannonballking7]

To say this is top tier would be an understatement, I am so taken aback by the excellent colour choices, and creative transitions used from shot to shot. You my friend,, have an amazing talent, I I wish you only the best going forward. I am simply floored, have a lovely day.

[@faxjam]

thankyou! really appreciate that, the colours absolutely did my head in so I'm glad you liked them too. hopefully I can wrap up the story in a satisfying way

[@schquillem]

This is far and above your best work so far! All the little jokes in every shot were brilliant, and the detective eating his cigarette again had me wheezing. The animation, voice acting, and all the little faces everyone made were just *perfect.* Your original stuff is fantastic, and I can’t wait until the next part! Edit: I just noticed that at 8:12 the detective sees his younger self in his reflection in the window. Made me a little sad tbh

[@faxjam]

thanks so much!! really glad you liked this one since a lot of work went in. I like that people enjoyed the ciggie chomp, just snuck that moment in there quickly so I'm glad it was noticed. Will begin next part end of the year with a slightly bigger team so It doesnt forever to make lol
