Saturday Sleuths: Comic Strip Characters Ranked by Body-hiding Potential

, ,

In a shocking but extremely hypothetical turn of events, researchers at the University of Dark Humor have released a definitive ranking of Saturday comic strip characters based on how likely they are to help you hide a body. Their findings are both disturbing and oddly believable.

5. Cathy Her panicked “ACK!” would alert the entire neighborhood. Absolutely not. Zero chill under pressure.

4. Family Circus kids Billy can’t even find his shoes, let alone keep quiet about a shallow grave. Expect a dotted line straight to the authorities.

3. Dilbert Might log it into a spreadsheet and organize a cover-up committee. Unfortunately, he’d also email HR about it and accidentally CC the police.

2. Garfield Lazy, yes—but if you bury it under a lasagna pan, he’s in. Bonus: he’ll eat the evidence if it’s vaguely edible.

1. Calvin’s Tiger Pal, Hobbes He’s already imaginary, which makes him the perfect accomplice—no fingerprints, no questions. Plus, Calvin’s mom never checks the woods out back.

Ultimately, if you’re planning cartoon-assisted crimes, stick to felines and imaginary friends. Everyone else is a liability—or worse, a snitch.
