Home > Basil Flint, P.I.

Basil Flint P.I. is John Troutman's second comic strip, started after he ended his freshman strip Sporkman . It details the adventures and cases of Basil Flint and his two companions/assistants/roommates, Amanda and Andie. Drunken and very nearly completely incompetent, it usually falls to the girls to actually solve the case in question. Later in the strip we learn that the reason Basil is always drinking is because his wife/ investigation partner was killed and he crawled into the bottle for solace. This is followed by a storyline where Basil is stone cold sober and we see a shadow of the detective he USED to be before he became an alcoholic.

The artwork of Basil Flint has evolved over time. It started out with John's classic Big Eye Style that he had developed in his previous strip, Sporkman. He then went for a more realistic style with eyes approximately the correct size. This raised a hue and cry amongst his fans. Steadily the eyes grew larger to a cartoony but much smaller than the original eyes that could be described as slightly manga-ish.

Basil Flint started out on Keenspace and eventually moved to Keenspot.
