I dunno Sid, you could always go on stage as an actor.
Or a magician. 'Cause, you know, he's already one of those. Don't need magic to do magic... well... um... you know what I mean.
...uh, so it may be the water after all. But the effect was too quick in his tea for that to be a natural cause. I'm not really sure how curses could propagate throught water (even if the amulet is stuck down there). Also once the water is separated from its source, wouldn't the effect disappear ?
Who said Sid was drinking water? Perhaps there's some other cursed beverage that leaves you feeling like this the next morning if you have too much of it.
...oh ho. I assumed it was water inside that bottle (I blame my incomplete grasp of english).
So it was another beverage, made somewhere else, and that he got better during the day he drank it thanks to that, hmmm
The beverage in the bottle is some form alcoholic beverage. The loss of his magic made him so depressed that he turned to drink and is now feeling even worse because of both the loss of his magic, and presumably from a hangover.
anyone else notice that the bottle is almost full not much of a drinker eh sid
We never drink water — they put it in gin, And one sip of gin and a man starts to grin. Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight Than a man drinking water and singing all night?
Away, away, with rum, by gum, Rum by gum, rum by gum Away, away, with rum, by gum, The song of the Temperance Union.
Too quick for a natural cause, yes - but the curse is supernatural. Who knows, maybe curse-infected food/ drink can start affecting you as soon as it enters your system...?
Maybe food is an antidote!
Or the cause. She dropped the cursed item in the ground and it transfers the curse to all plants grown in the area.
After his initial collapse, I think Sid must be feeling better if he "could do with breakfast."
Last panel: yup, existential crisis successfully accounted for.
