“Catch the Magic Missile”. Yeah, a little in-joke for all us longtime D&D nerds out there.

Shall we let everyone else in on it? Why trying to catch a magic missile is funny?
Nah. Let the straights wonder. They look so stupid when they sit there, wondering.
They aren’t even aware of how antisocial their behavior is.

FAQ:

Q. Could you at least tell us whether the plastic Headpiece actually made Ralph a god or not?

A. Hm. That always was potentially a vague part of the joke…

Thank heavens for webcomicdom’s culture of titling individual strips. This allows us to explain our humorous intent without creating a proper setup of the joke within the strip itself.

Or rants! They can explain everything you botched while cartooning. QED: Ralph does not become a god. He’s just pretending.

How much Fea’s perverted subconscious is playing along, and how much is merely her typical degree of self-deluded confusion, is up to the individual reader to fantasize ov decide.
