Being against evil doesn't make you good.
I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.
This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.
To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.
I will be at Trotcon.
Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) 
I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.
Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. 
Despite advice, I'm probably publishing a story with just the first chapter done.
But, a question: it's an epic detective story, so, "Comedy Drama Mystery," or "Comedy Drama Adventure"?

Drama, Mystery, Adventure sounds like the combo that best fits the description "epic detective story".
The descriptor "epic" along with the picture here make me think adventure is more fitting than mystery? I don't know that I can say much without having read the story, though, so whichever you feel is more appropriate for the first chapter is probably best.

I don't think I can get away with not labeling this Comedy, though. Think something akin to Pinkie perspective.

Picture is unrelated, but the story is essentially a detective story that focuses on a single missing pony's case the entire time, but it will involve travel and adventure outside of the initial setting.

I think that if your tone is consistent in the story it will be understood as Pinkie being Pinkie, since epic and detective already seem to have decided at least two of the tags.
Comedy, mystery, drama!
Ignoring the question you actually asked, is that picture from the Manga? It seems like that style. I really need to read it; apparently it's far better than you would expect it to be and isn't afraid to be memeworthy on occasion.

Would Comedy Adventure Mystery work, then? Mystery implies a certain level of drama, I'd say, but is more specific than a Drama tag, since most any conflict could be called Drama.

It is from the manga, although I don't know if it's an official colored panel, since the version I had was in black and white. And yes, the manga is amazing.
Fuck it, what you got to lose? Still better than publishing all chapters at once, anyway.

I'm leaning toward this, if only because it doesn't begin as an adventure. Mayhaps I'll call it an "epic mystery".

That sounds great!
Comedy drama mystery
I guess it all depends on if your trying to do a Sherlock Holms type thing where the reader needs to figure things out, or if your trying to do a Mike Hammer, Philip Marlowe, style gumshoe.
Figure out the clues, .......Comedy Drama Mystery
Dark Alleyways and car chases, .......Comedy Drama Adventure.
