PANEL ONE: A long line of people stands outside a building. On the building's wall is hung a long banner reading "Society of Arcane and Philosophical Studies". PANEL TWO: The front of the building. A smaller sign here reads, "Welcome S.A.P.S." One scholar turns to his companion. SCHOLAR: You know, we ought to find a name that lends itself to a better acronym. PANEL THREE: A speaker stands at a podium. SPEAKER: ...So I conclude that even if an object were by such means reverted to a previous state... PANEL FOUR: The speaker continues declaiming. The second scholar from Panel Two turns to the first. SPEAKER: ...The mere fact that the later version had existed would leave some indelible mark upon the fabric of the universe. Because of this, it would in principle be possible to effect both states at once... SCHOLAR 2: The gods save us from Talrod's interminable ramblings! PANEL FIVE: Erlak, the God of Soup, appears floating above the gathered scholars. The scholars from the second panel, among others, look at him in astonishment. ERLAK: Behold! I, Erlak, god of soup, have heard thy request! PANEL SIX: Erlak points at the speaker, and a giant bowl of soup appears floating above the speaker's head. PANEL SEVEN: The bowl begins to tip, pouring soup on the speaker's head. SPEAKER: Uh... Hm? What — PANEL EIGHT: The bowl now covers the speaker's head, spilling soup all over him. SPEAKER: Mmf! PANEL NINE: The speaker now lies on the stage, the bowl of soup over his head. SPEAKER: mmmff. PANEL TEN: Erlak floats above the gathering, grinning. PANEL ELEVEN: The scholars continue to stare at Erlak. SPEAKER 2: You know, I say that almost every time Talrod speaks, and this is the first time I've gotten an answer. ERLAK: I've been really bored lately.
