− | + | The title of this comic is is a play on the police interrogation strategy "{{w|Good cop/bad cop}}". {{w|Dadaism|Dadaism}} is an artistic movement that embraces the free flow of unreasoned thought. Where "good cop bad cop" builds a relationship between the "good cop" and the suspect on fear of the bad cop, "good cop dadaist cop" may intend to build this relationship on the more abstract fear of irrationality. | |
− | + | The "good cop", [[Cueball]], and the "dadaist cop", [[Ponytail]], interrogate the suspect, [[Hairy]]. After Cuball makes a few statements, intended to build trust with Hairy, and leaves to get coffee, [[Ponytail]] enters the interrogation and starts asking Hairy absurd questions. This eventually causes Hairy to get agitated or nervous and start talking, questioning what is wrong with Ponytail. | |
− | + | The title text builds on the joke as by asking a suspect to give the whereabouts of the money in a form that could be considered dadaist art. Since dadaist art is without reason, there would be no way of decoding where the money is from the confession. | |
