Can I make a Real Life entry from my life? Once upon a time, a government agent had some questions for me about an irregularity in my employer's office. I mentioned that all the documents I type have a footer of a certain format. The agent pointed out that a certain letter lacked the footer. Me: "And the typeface is Souvenir, which we don't have; I wouldn't use it anyway, it lacks dignity. Also, this is another firm's letterhead."

Pulled this:

• In El Goonish Shive, Susan figures out that the girl they saw in an earlier comic was actually a transformed Elliot by only two clues, a wrinkled shirt (and the fact the girl from earlier was wearing boy's clothes) and the fact the Elliot came from the auditorium from the same direction the girl went in. He's a bit shocked.

There's no "smoking gun"; she really did deduce it based on two clues.
