Joe Sherlock, Kid Detective

Joe Sherlock, Kid Detective series.
Who switched a garden-variety butter lettuce for a priceless mummy's head? That's what Joe Sherlock (the PI with the weak stomach) wants to know, as he and his smarty-pants sister race to save a museum employee from the slammer. Keane's fast-paced narrative tries too hard for laughs, but his black-and-white drawings hit the funny bone spot on.
