Whats the story on links hair color?
The original box art/manual art/cartoon for Legend of Zelda had a brown-haired Link up through Link to the Past, then from Ocarina of Time onward they switched it to blond. It's presumably his version of "Sonic's arms aren't blue".

I'm more concerned on what the pump in his bag is for, and if it relates to the possible inflation fetish Misty on his clipboard.

That makes sense. I help out at my friends' game shop a couple of times a month. I was talking to a dude, probably 20 years old, as I was ringing up his purchase of Magic cards. He told about how he doesn't pay his bills and is already in collections. But, he still needs to buy the new rare cards for his deck. I didn't really know how to respond .

I used to work at a comic shop back in college and sometimes had to run the magic gaming nights. This one guy Bill was aug city. We banned him from sitting next to anyone under 16 because he'd try to tell the kids what cards to pick in the draft so he could get better cards. One of his ex roommates told us they kicked him out after he'd repeatedly leave for weekends to go back to his mom's house to play magic with his brother, because during those weekends he'd lock the router in his room and queue up terabytes of anime porn torrents essentially keeping everyone else from being able to even check their email. He left piles of trash every time he was in the store.

Yeah, Magic tournaments. He actually got a ban (which was recently lifted) for doing it so much.

No, it just means they're old jeans. They're unlikely to wear out if he's not washing them, they'll just be gross and filthy.

Was that first one actually drawn by Dobson or someone taking the piss? There are an awful lot of inflation jokes in it.

Also why would he do a panel showing that Link definitely had pink hair in LTTP if the whole point of the comic is that only brown hair is canon. That boy ain't right.

Also his weird paternalism wrt the character designs and how he knows better than the actual creators.
