You got me all excited for a double-sized splash page, but things were a little more literal.

I hope Nautilus got over her fear of swimming while she had that air bubble to help.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

Almond, what did you expect? He's a giant squid and you're like a 40 pound bunny girl. :colbert:

Poor Liquus though. He's been knocked around so much lately.

I don't know whether the bathtub spell will be useful soon, or whether it'll wait until the readers have forgotten about it before becoming instrumental in the grand finale against the Nightmare Knight.

It'd also be incredibly dangerous (like, almost unavoidably lethal) to be in there as it drains. But that'd be no fun so, yeah, magic and cartoon rules.

Gigi DG posted:

Of course, if you want the power to remove a comically oversized bathtub drain from any surface, that’s a totally different capsule.

So I wonder what kind of clever solution will they come up with. I have to say that so far the battle against Splashmaster has been a lot more challenging that I expected it to be.

Well, there were two ways to do that and have it work.

Have it be hideously overcomplex and contain an explanation of the physics behind it, or just use cartoon logic and say "Almond is strong, Cucumber helped, it came out".

I am totally okay with this outcome, as it means we get to the important part quickly.

Also...

Maybe it'll happen someday down the road, but it'll pay off, because Cucumber rules

Pretty sure the spell description thing was referring to making the drain go away when you're done with it, not opening it.

Oh so THAT'S how it works. This whole time I was thinking it makes JUST the plug, without a hole. I was so confused about the usefulness of the spell in a place where they don't need to actually plug anything.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

I'm now wondering if you could get the Extremely Specific And Pretty Much Completely Worthless Capsule Spell Machine under the Trade Descriptions Act.

Then again, I guess "Pretty Much" does give it enough legal wiggle room.

Also no-one would actually want to complain if their spell actually did do something useful, so hey.

Now we just need to find out what the pizza spell does. Maybe Splashmaster is lactose-intolerant?

I read that as removing the drain, not the stopper. In other word, it's a completely different capsule to dispel the "add oversized drain" capsule.
