“Hey… ‘Sweet Chariot’ sugar cubes! Only come in catering packs, right?” (Chapter 8, Page 8, Panel 8).
Detective Fine uses the sugar cubes found in Rorschach’s pocket and in Dreiberg’s kitchen to connect the two characters. By connecting Dreiberg to Rorschach, Fine believes he can uncover more of the plot behind Blake’s murder. The sugar cube image appears throughout the novel, but Moore keeps the importance from becoming clear until this interaction between Detective Fine and Dreiberg. Moore uses this style of placing images abundantly throughout the novel and only explaining them later on.
