Would something like this work? I think his costume and big honkin' magnifying glass make it clear he's supposed to be a detective.

(I tried getting a picture of Scooby-Doo first, but I couldn't find any stills that communicated the "detective" angle.)

What about Basil from The Great Mouse Detective?

A few images I feel would work:

(1), (2) (3),

[up] The third one's giving me a little "hosted by Angelfire" graphic.

Do we need a crowner?

Personally, I think Wishbone as Sherlock Holmes would be a good page image, if someone would find one for me.

The second pic of Basil looks great.

Most of these look good, really. I'd say this one's for a crowner to decide.

Aw, I'd forgotten how awesome Wishbone is! Here he is as Sherlock Holmes.

I think we'll have a good Image Gallery, whichever image we select.

[up][up] He's just... dressed up in a suit. He's not looking through at a document through a magnifying glass like Basil.

Yeah, that doesn't really scream "detective" to me, either. Maybe if he had a deerstalker instead of a riding cap.

We should probably have a crowner.

My vote's for the monkey that's holding the helmet or the logo. [1]. It's too funny to pass up

I added the suggestions so far. I'm torn between the second picture of Basil and the third Detective Chimp picture, myself. (And Slylock, but that's just the fanhood speaking.)

Bump for votes...right now the latest Basil pic's the only one in the green.

The Basil pic's pretty good. Also looks good at Wiki size.

Is it too early to call this? Basil #2 has a pretty solid lead.

This one's clear enough that we can go ahead and call it. The pic is up, potholed, and tagged, and the Image Links page is made from the rest. Caption or no?
