Hey, you can’t hit a kid with glasses! Well, I guess Jason can…

So Eugene, what did you think of Eileen’s book?

Yee Hah! I was right! Now they have to go make up with Phoebe.

I tol’ ya. The kid with the achievement certificate. (I didn’t know his name at the time). Wow, what a very long arc.

Eugene’s plan was going perfectly until he gave himself away, and he doesn’t even seem to realize it. To quote Peter, “From such smarts, such stupidity.”“Good idea” — snrk!

You’re all getting warmer…actually, you’re all RED HOT!!!!!!!

For Eugene to have done it. He would have had ot have craked Eileen’s code. This is plausable: if Jason could do it, he could do it. However, Jason has a longer association with Eileen and has had more time to work on it.

He would have to know that his sister also knew the code. So he could implicate her.

He would have to place the letter in a place where it could be found by Jason, He would have to depend on Jason also cracking the code so he could dechiper it and implicate Eileen.

He would have to know about Eileen’s alergy to lavendar.

He would have to obtain a lavender sparkle pen and depend on his sister carrying the very same type of pen behind her back no less, at the time of her accusation.

All of these are possible, but when you multiply possibilities against each other, the results get unbelieveably small.

But as Sherlock Holmes observed, “Once you remove the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true.”

After all, we are talking about a cartoon.

five bucks says it’s eugene who stole it.

I wonder what did marcus do with his hat in the second panel?
