    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.

        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.
