If you guys want to know the origins of those ideas:
1) Repainting the wall was from a discussion about my second comic. Someone mentioned that the color didn't look good. Someone flying through came up because of soneone else's idea, namely Cybex.
2) Paying in another currency is actually something that happened, but not to me. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, my good friend Dustin bought a European Xena game for 8 Pounds (can't do the sign). He didn't notice it, but when he did, he got my attention. I did a currency exchange check, and it's about $16 USD. We both laughed about that.
3) Being blinded for a few minuites actually came from two things. One, my mother is legally blind, and she has a tendancy to do some crazy things, such as pushing on a window thinking it's a door, or wunning into a glass wall. She always laughs about it. Well, a few nights ago, I had a dream about being blinded, though I saw it from a third person view, and I thought it'd be good for a comic.
