Trivia

• The Private Eye was contributed by the Lead Character Artist at Template:W.
• The deerstalker is a hat generally worn for stalking deer, as its name implies. However, it's most commonly associated with fictional English private detective Template:W, who is usually depicted as wearing one (even though he was never officially described as doing so).
• Private Eye is slang for Template:W. The term was made popular in detective movies.
