- Wilford Wiggins, a high-school dropout who is always trying to pull a scam.

ill always remember, my favorite solution was like

BUGS: ive never even seen that stupid brown door!
ENCYC: then how did you know it was brown??

i remember some weird one where bugs meany tricked EB into tying him up and throwing grapes at him, and then some adults were like, "EB, what are you doing?" EB had a clever solution to that one, though.

I always wondered if Chief Brown was ever troubled by his son solving the case and making him look dumb.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 12 October 2006 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

Wasn't there one where Bugs or whomsever disguises himself as a woman, but Brown catches him because he was sitting at a restaurant not facing the room?

Also, THERE ARE NO PENGUINS IN THE ARTIC CIRCLE

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 12 October 2006 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

The only one I remember involved a sword supposedly used at the "First Battle of Bull Run," according to an engraved inscription, and EB proving it to be counterfeit because after the battle, nobody could have known that there would be a second Bull Run.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 12 October 2006 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

I remember there was a TV series. Which I watched. In school, possibly for some school-being-under-funded reason. It wasn't very educational!

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 12 October 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

[14:05] tim: ill never forget my favorite one
[14:05] tim: the arch nemesis there
[14:05] tim: i forget his name
[14:05] tim: anyway
[14:06] tim: he was trying to pawn off a sword engraved with "first battle of bull run" as being from the civil war
[14:06] tim: and encyclopedia brown was all like "they wouldnt have known there was gonna be two battles, son" they wouldnt have labeled it "first"
