Sherlok Holms is a Stylistic Suck Detective Drama webcomic by troper Commander Jay. Think of it as Creepypasta meets Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. The plot for each comic goes like this: Sherlok Holms, our hero (a usually armless stick figure with a sometimes striped hat) and his partner-in-crime Ben go out and attempt to "arest" a famous creepypasta star (for example, Slender Man). Starting off as a running joke between friends, the creator decided to draw the comics digitally and post him on his Deviantart page, where it gained a very small cult following. You can read them here.
Definitely not influenced by that Sherlock Holmes guy, he's a hack.
More than a decade after its last update, Sherlok Holms returned on April Fools' Day 2023, with 12 new comics tackling modern internet horror such as The Mandela Catalogue and The Backrooms. You can view the new comics here.

- Heel–Face Door-Slam: Despite the fact that Mr. Burns had a Heel–Face Turn, he's killed by Ben because "he's annoying".
