Cartoon scene: four student chemists at a bench unmask a culprit. Asked how they identified the wrong-doer, they explain that they collaborated and ran a series of well-structured confirmatory chemical tests. The thwarted villain curses their unexpected use of systematic analytical chemistry. The strip promotes teamwork and sound experimental design in chemical education.
