Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

If the world has collapsed so much that even coins are no longer accepted, then people are more interested in bartering for usable goods directly than in any such thing as a universal medium of exchange.

He’s not Pennywise—he’s Poundfoolish. -
I read quite a few of his books as a child, but I did not know that he died before the end of the 20th century.
-
As Humphrey Bogart said at the end of Casablanca, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
-
It would be amusing if he were to insist upon being addressed as “Uncle Kevin”.

Tedd has a driver’s license, but not a car. The Dunkel twins, Justin, and Susan are the only ones out of the main teenage cast who have their own cars (Jay apparently has one too, if she was using it for the pizza delivery job).

Given that a typical three-bedroom home costs over a million in lots of major US cities these days, I am pretty sure that her savings are in the millions, if not the tens of millions. Pandora also had such accurate predictive abilities that it made her bored, so she would have easily been able to play the stock market. Or heck, just buying a few thousand Bitcoins back when that many would have been less than a week’s wages, and holding them until now.

He probably saw that it was called “British” and assumed that it was a satellite of the UK. -
Oh, I never meant that they were cynically trying to exploit her—just that they care more about long-term consequences than about making a quick buck, as it were.
-
Susan is golden in this page. As for getting an Immortal indebted to you, our cast are playing the long game—getting her as a reliable ally is much more valuable than a one-time boon.
-
Nyeh, what’s up, Doc?
-
And television was envisioned as a tool for remote education—apparently Philo Farnsworth did not even foresee that people would be mainly watching the exact same stuff that they were already watching at the cinema?
-
So this, and the previous page, basically say that the text on copied spells are “written” by the Wizard who copies them, rather than by Magic Itself.
-
I heard that they did in fact wreck several over the course of filming the show.
-
At least it isn’t Kalamazoo.

Yes, the “sane” thing would be to cap the amount of money that can be received from such activity (e.g. no one may earn more than $10k per month). -

He’s been superseded by Luigi. -
Jay had her initial spell when Pandora awakened her, but she understandably doesn’t use it due to the associated trauma.
-
I think Charlie, Lucy, and the rest of the “older” kids ended up in fourth grade, while Linus and Sally were in second grade. Meanwhile, Rerun (Linus’ younger brother) ended up old enough to hold coherent conversations with the rest of the kids, so that’s at least three years old.
-
I would definitely like to see Hope elaborate on how spellbook entries for spells that a Wizard has copied from others are different.
-
Given that she was unaware of e.g. automobiles, says that she had shed a lot of basic knowledge about the world, perhaps more than intended. Maybe trying to hold onto so many personal memories meant that she held onto less of the impersonal knowledge, since it was de-prioritized? Like, there’s only so many terabytes worth of “protected memory” that she can guarantee, and anything that is left out becomes iffy?

The Young Adventures of Arthur J. Arthur, Frontier Wizard! (The great-grandfather of the current Arthur.)
-
You took no-sneeze drugs, or you took “no” sneeze drugs?

Fortunately, her son teaches history classes, and will be teaching at Moperville University next term. Perhaps she should attend them. It would also go a good ways towards setting up a public alias for her new self. EGS spell books seem more like user’s manuals than anything, and Magic seems to intend for them to be an educational guide.

Susan is the one who is the most like how I view myself, and for that reason we would get along together about as well as two Magnetic North Poles. What I really need is someone more like Ellen to act wacky and pull me out of my shell.
