The Maze Agency #2

Filed under: Comics
I’ve been reading The Maze Agency for years (since Comico, through Innovation and Caliber, and now IDW), and this recent issue is the only mystery I’ve managed to solve on my own.
Either I’m getting smarter or this mystery was pretty easy; I suspect the latter.
(Looking back, it was fairly simple and the bizarre first name of the one character made it a little too easy. Is that even a real first name?)

TOTALLY A SPOILER
I thought it was rather simple because of the signage. Instead of actually drawing the text on the contestant’s sashes, they let the letterer do it. To me, nothing looks more out of place in a hand-drawn comic than in-art text that is obviously laid out by the computer. Here it’s even worse — the sash is fabric, yet the lettered text is so rigid, it looks like it was painted on sheet metal.
END OF TOTALLY A SPOILER
