So, a schizophrenic guy suffering from hallucinations, and painting the warning graffitis, about how AIs are evil and the cake is a lie?

(in case someone doesn’t know, Rat-Man is actually another legally distinct individual 😀 )

Also, Chicago exists in this other universe, since this comic is set somewhere that doesn’t exist in our universe, Omnitropolis

Clearly, this takes place in the Invincible Universe and Omnitropolis is named after Omni-Man.

This is going to keep me awake at night.
How do you manage to tilt an appartment onto its side with lightbulbs?

Actually, it’s probably better for my sanity if I never know.

He didn’t tilt it. The lightbulbs heated the apartment up so it was 96 degrees inside.

I was about to comment the same thing, but then I remembered, this IS Ethan we’re talking about so it could be either way.

Which is a feat with modern LED bulbs, they run pretty cool for the light they produce. Also the power bill would probably be worse than the temperature, assuming they have to pay for power (and if not, they definitely got an unpleasant chat with the landlord with that one)

It’s not as bad as the old filament light bulbs, but they still get hot after a while.
I think that 1500 lumen lights bulbs are running at almost 10W?
Put more than a hundred together, and you should get a good heating system (and an insanely bright room).

It’s a temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.
100⁰F is roughly a strong fever temperature, so without looking up the precise conversion, 96⁰F is probably like 36⁰C, so that’s really hot for indoor temperature unless there’s an ongoing heatwave.

But at least it’s better than 100 degrees Celsius or Kelvin.

Doubt that it would go up, if it reached 100 Kelvin

Ethan not being the brightest bulb was already known, but this was a great way to confirm it.

I’m still trying to figure out why he was trying to make a light signal for himself in his own appartment.

Maybe he planned on giving it to the police to use, if he got it to work?

That’s the odd thing they haven’t yet factored into all of this. Ethan has his powers back. Be Careful you don’t get a death telegram at the police door Ben.

Lol Nosferatu man.

I’m just guessing “some rodent or something” refers to Batman since bats look like rodents in some ways.

So I told my girlfriend about the ‘rodent or something’ she says ‘nah not Batman/like batman, they could be CAPYBARAMAN/WOMAN!’ since they’re rodents!

I’m glad Luke explained the reference, because for a second I thought it was a reference to something that we actually saw in the comics and I forgot about

What’s up with the “X number of posts are only available through Patreon” indicator? A few days ago it was at 6, yesterday it was at 40-something and today it’s 17.
