Welcome back from the Guest-Weeks!

It seems that Tarik did indeed do some detective work during the last couple of weeks, just like his London role model.
And the result: Dexter's und Sinistra's great-grandpa is basically Arsène Lupin...
Their whole thievery-stick is thus simply family tradition!

We'll continue soon with the regular program!

Oh, this will indeed feed into the plot - eventually... ;-)

Ah hell, Dexter and Sinistra are related to Lupin III...

In a manner speaking, yes! :-D (Full disclaimer: In this case I indeed was aware that I am not the first one to get that idea for a character's ancestry.)

BTW, speaking of contemporary relatives of D & S, one will show up eventually. In fact, he already did, but not in the comic proper... (And this family connection is theoretically deducible, even without this bit of info I just gave here.) ;-)

They didn't inherit their dad's charisma, did they? Because the entire cast hates the twins XD

Exactly! Great-Grandpa Antoine was a gentleman thief.
Dexter & Sinistra, on the other hand, are just... thieves.
