G for tasteful use of a newt joke.

The "bomb" should have exploded earlier - those bags of holding are nested without any sacks in between. (But perhaps normal characters can only use (implement?) buggy compression algorithms.)

Hilarious!

#4 Nnelg Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:17:11
This sadly wouldn't work, since even blessed bags of holding only quarter the weight of their contents, while each nested layer contains 16 files.

I don't know why, but the expression "ahh cram rations" just sells this comic for me.

I thought it was a library of babel reference until I saw the loadstones honestly
