Ace Dick is a very good detective. How do we know this? He can follow the obvious trail of footprints directly to the culprit!
 
Much like [[Thief Bag]] is about an image summarizing a profession, someone following footprints (preferably with a magnifying glass) is a detective or investigative sort. A common gag in cartoons is for the character to ''pick up'' one of the footprints for a better look or to end up following their own footprints around.
 
This trope is pretty common in children's media.
