Nice way to make more , dip and cancel all your useless potions to make , use the to uncurse the unholy ones, and dip all the waters into the . |

You're right Jukka, but when I pointed that out to the Kops, they replied that two stamps missing anyway on the pink form, and please come back next week during the opening hours (between 9:50 and 10:10). |

Favorite part is the prisoners being packed off. Good stuff. (oh, and excellent use of the dramatic pause) |

It's an amusing setup but I don't quite get whatever payoff is intended for the punchline. Dudley had a cancellation stolen? So that means he was (as usual) being teh n00b, since firing a charge at the would have prevented the theft? So therefore the is suspicious of Dudley's story, and insurance fraud is a possibility?
Occam's Electric Shaver suggests that a simpler explanation must be eluding me. |

Slowpoke: Dudley's lying. See yichizhng's comment. |

A couple of mild spoilers ahead:
I figured that Dudley would claim that the put the into the , and that's why it wasn't around any more; that's why I didn't get the and . Another thing is that if you have a blessed of remove you don't need to try to use the to steal away any uncursed worn items, since you can just uncurse them yourself (though I think that reading an uncursed of remove will do that for all your worn/wielded items anyway, and also for loadstones). So this might be in line with Slowpoke's theory, except you don't need the (unless the itself is cursed, which has happened to me; bleeping ).
BUT I'm also pretty sure that you don't need the to make yichizhng's way. Once you dip the twice they're automatically plain (except acid which blows up). Or you can cancel everything and you'll get a lot of potions of uncursed (and some uncursed other stuff), and again you don't need the .
So, I am still confused. Funny, though. |

Excellent comic, I like the idea of a level similar to that, with lots of Keystone Kops, and some random monsters locked inside the rooms. |

Yeah, I didn't see the necessity of the or the either, all he had to do was walk over a pool and dip everything (except the acid of course). Judging by the K-rations he probably finished the Castle so he should have plenty of to use there. Maybe just as a backup plan?
Could just be a bit of irony... The accepts that a holding with 213432 zorkmids of stuff got stolen and then doesn't believe those three things (worth maybe 400 zm) stolen as well... |

Listen, I hate to be blunt. But what do you think happens when you put a cancelation in a holding eh? Thats the punchline! jeez. |

Tombot: panel 7, "Anything stolen from your main inventory?"
No, you guys are overthinking it. The joke is just that Dudley's obviously engaging in insurance fraud.

Dudley was pretending to make UNholy via the confused blessed technique. |

But that won't uncurse any cursed potions, will it? You need to cancel (, or ) and uncurse () before you bless (). |

Now that the old site is back, and also I'm a little better at nethack, I can record that I think I've figured it out!
The , , and are all ways to uncurse your if it gets cursed. You want to keep them outside the , because if the gets cursed it can destroy its contents when you try to loot it. (Not to mention that you can't put the in the anyway -- that's what had me confused. That, and my noobiness.)
Toby -- I think that when you double-dip a it automatically becomes uncursed , although maybe if you get the "" effect on the second dip it goes straight to unholy . Otherwise making unholy would be very easy. Anyway, I doubt anyone will read this comment. |
