As a detective solving the mystery of the crossword clue “Hi and Lois” creator Browne, my thought process led me through the world of comic strips. I first considered the obvious answer of “Browne,” which led me to explore cartoonists with that last name who may have created the popular series. However, I soon realized that the clue was asking for the creator’s first name. I then delved deeper into my knowledge of the comic strip world and remembered a prominent figure by the name of Dik Browne. His name also caught my attention as it was an unusual spelling of the common name ‘Dick‘ which reflected his quirky sense of humour that was evident in his comic strips. Upon further research, I found that Dik Browne was the creator of “Hi and Lois,” a popular comic strip that had been running since 1954. With all these insights combined, I confidently filled in ‘DIK‘ as the answer to the crossword clue and solved the mystery.
