All beware of Lazarus, the demonic building inspector! You just know he’s been looking for a way to apply that stuff since he first saw it in the reliquary.
This was such a difficult strip to illustrate. Jeez. I hope it came out well.
Oh, hey, I have it on good authority that some of you readers happen to be into upstart comics with interesting and fantastical plots backed up by outstandingly good art. If you fall into this group, do please consider taking a gander at The End. Very sadly, it only has a handful of strips so far, but it’s already established an interesting premise and I think you may agree that the upcoming scene is going to be, at the least, extremely entertaining.
Also, holy crap, poor Guatamala. They might be needing a little help here soon, hey?
I’ve heard about bringin down the house but this is ridiculous.
Heh. Demonic Building Inspector.
He did warn them.
I like how everyone except for the ‘demon’ was dumbfounded.
Just FYI — the more concentrated the acid, the lower the pH.
So true. But I have a few explanations:
1)He was explaining it to laymen with little to no chem knowledge. Technicalities need not apply – he had to make it short and to the point.
2)A very infamous bane for some, is that even a low concentration acid (say, ~0.01% concentration – with ~100% dissociation ratio) will still have a very low pH of 2. Special solutions are needed to make the change slow and not drastic. So it’s more that rain has only a little reactive components inside.
What? I was a chem student at school.
Woops, syntax error >> This is the problem with writing for a character that’s smarter than you.
All I want to know is ware the heck did he get the oven mitt? lol weird thing to just leave around.
P.S. I’ll check out “The End” Thanks for the link
If yer gonna have acid lying around, ya better have a way of transporting it without hurting yourself
wouldnt the acid just eat through the mitt? its not like the acid is hot or anything. also if they are transporting acids y does he have a bowl instead of a beaker?
Acids don’t actually eat through everything quickly like that. For instance, even a powerful acid wouldn’t ‘burn’ a hole through your hand straight to the floor as it would for many sedimentary rocks – it would just ruin your flesh and cause unimaginable pain. The mitten, similarly, won’t just dissolve on contact with the acid.
That having been said, you really, *really* want to have more than mittens when you’re playing with acid. Even if the mitts weren’t reactive to acid it could easily seep through if you spilled or splashed it and cause damage. Laz is being horribly unsafe.
heh ‘playing with acids’ our science teacher once showed us wat sulfuric acid does to sugar since the human body is composed of the same elements (and other stuff) and the acid made a really cool carbon ‘tower’
and i can be ignorant in chemistry im a programming major
Woah! Laz is fast!
You always want to have your handy-dandy oven mitt with ya’!
It’s not quite a suitable replacement for a towel in terms of traveling equipment, but it works in a pinch!
What about a towel stitched together from dismantled oven mitts?
I kind of want to make one of those now. >_>
I think he may have found the “oven mitt” as part of that “chemistry set” earlier, with the Vitriol and all. You just don’t go manipulating that stuff by hand.
much respect for the dive, lol
Twice she has been aided by him, Once by delayin the dreaded monkey people and now by collapsing a entire temple down on her pursuers!
If that doesnt give you major brownie points with a girl i dont know what will!
I like the last panel. The one on the right has a VERY bewildered look, while the one on the left(even though you can’t see his eyes), looks as though he’s going, “Ah crap…”
Thanks! That last panel took a while to do x_x
Am I the only one with a mind so deep in the gutter that I can’t help but giggle at “Before you go down on her…”
Aw man, I didn’t even think about that XD
Coming out of Laz, especially, though, it does sound kinda dirty.
It only sounds dirty when you think about it.
I’m thinking about it!
Mwahaha! Fear the pervertedness!
Doesn’t help that he is also wearing oven mitts in that same panel… which suggests that the act is dangerous enough to involve oven mitts haha!
Is that how Rakshasi typically subdue women?
Go little boy! save the girl and impress the morons with your big brain.
P.S.: most schools don’t teach chemistry until the 11th grade (10th for honor students). So it won’t be wise to say that the thirteen year old picked it up from school. We’ll just say he’s a nerd… a nerd who has enough balls to put thermite in a bully’s locker xD
That depends where you go to school… I started learning chemistry in 8th grade.
I never learned Chemistry O-o
we learned chem but never got to acids cuz of a horrible student teacher
Chemistry ftw! If that’s what he can do in five seconds I can’t wait to see what he’ll do when he really has time!
Ya know, He wins. I would have never thought of that. Then again, I have no idea how you’d make it. Although, A quote comes to mind:
“Will you look at the size of this? It’s gotta be half a mile high, at least. It-It must have taken hundred- No, thousands of years to carve this thing. ” BOOM (Or, in this case, Tsss!!)
“Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me like, what? Ten seconds? Eleven, tops”
Let’s hope his next enemy can be surprized and doesn’t have guns!
I would not worry about guns but crossbows, longbows and spells are possible.
ATLANTIS TLE FTW!!!!!
little billy took a drink, but now he drinks no more. for what he thought was h2o, was h2so4. (sulphiric acid) my earth science teacher, the one thing i remember from that worthless class.
how very disturbing.
I remember that, but I learned it a bit differently. It was “Billy was a chemist’s son, but now he is no more. For what he thought was h2o was h2so4.” It’s very catchy.
Well look at Little Lazzy! Saving the damsel in distress! Could be hope for him yet…She probably could have clawed the eyes out of those morons herself though XD
Alas, a small army of men with swords were not something she wished to test her luck with.
I wish I could just randomly scoop up some handy acid that melts away lime stone at impossible speeds. With all that said, I think that in the last panel the guy on the left is just giving up with most likely a ‘Why me?; face. Awesome.
Lul, Yay for acid. You my friend, are an epic writer and artist.
I guess you could say…
(pulls down sunglasses) This just smashing!
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one1
hehe the look on the furries is priceless
you give yourself way to little credit in your drawing your an awesome artist!
ummm… before you go down on her?
