75-1: Alchemy Is Not Science, Pt. 1

Last year at about this time, I presented a short thesis on how Alchemy was not magic. In the form of Gary ranting at Dan.

This year, I present a rebuttal by Gary's teacher, as foreshadowed two weeks ago with the whole… weird questions… thing.

I intend this to be an annual thing, highlighting what various characters believe Alchemy to not be. Whether this affects the outcome is really up to how Gary takes these.

And yes, this is totally on the plot schedule. I'm so happy to have found it again! =D

Random art thing, this comic was actually done in black and white outright. Lately I'd been coloring, then turning it into monochrome, then going back in and coloring what I can, but I figured there was so many splashes of color that required actual drawing IN those colors, I'd just have to do it all as-is. So I did some paint copying from one of the comics of the other week.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this week, I certainly intend to.

(By the way, Friday's comic is up now. I've been having a lot of trouble navigating DrunkDuck lately…)
