Corny? Yes. Obvious? Yes. But it had to be done.
#2	Anonymous	Sun, 7 Jun 2009 15:26:59
No, it didn't.

Actually, the point is that it ISN'T a potion of acid. Think carefully about what hallucination does. Last edited: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 22:24:23

Hey paxed, would you mind adding the following footnote: "Think carefully about this one."
#5	heranbago	Mon, 8 Jun 2009 08:49:00
Shit, voted and then read the comments. Would change vote. Why didn't the potion's color change? If the color didn't change it would be ID'd as potion of hallucination even while hallucinating.

Shit! I forgot to change the potion's color! Crap. I thought of changing the spellbook's color, and then forgot about the potion. Dangit. Thanks for the help anyway, paxed. Hey paxed: Would you mind changing the potions in the last three panels to dark green, ruby, and golden respectively? Last edited: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 22:34:31

A joke that's more subtle than it seems. You don't see that very often.

Hehe, subtle jokes. :)

Actually, heranbago, I'm not sure if that's the case, but I don't think it is. Because I don't think it's the case with monster glyphs.

Could someone please explain? Is acid what its slang meaning is? Or is there a deeper meaning? Last edited: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:19:58

> Shumale: >> Could someone explain? Is acid what its slang meaning is? Well, there is some kind of drugs called ACID. It is called so because it is really acid and it dissolves brain of drugger (couldn't find better word) like... guess what...
