She said earlier that she had used potions to level up too (#50 in answer to 'how so strong', and 'why not Basketballs'), so it's possible that without the potion effects she only ever gained the one level. I guess she should have gained some XP in the last cave, but then again if she was 'maxed' I guess she couldn't level up any further.

Dan Shive

Huh. That is true. To be fair, it would be looser, but it IS looser than it should be.

chris

that makes no sense, cause it's tighter below her breasts when they were bigger

Dan Shive

It's not intended to be clear yet. Susan herself will express confusion in the next strip. It's the eventual explanation that's relatively simple.

I agree with a lot of commenters, here. You really failed to properly convey what's happening via "Cheats Off". Even *if* Susan had been cheating, which she wasn't, the only thing that's *like* cheating was her appearance potions. But turning those off would *not* have done what we see on this page.

coredumperror

No more boobs to push it out. Also her torso appears to be smaller

coredumperror

She only has cosmetic potions active. She's actually level 5 in all stats, and is using potions just to make herself not actually *look* like she's level 5 in everything.

chris

Also, why does her shirt become looser?

chris

huh, but none of those changes were cheats. horns and hair was due to karma, and length and boobs due to level. In fact, she stated she used potions to reduce her breasts (because otherwise they would be beachballs). Seems more like a "reset to default".

James C

Hey, if cheats are off, does this mean that Slow Time will now actually allow Susan to catch the Mysterious Hooded Figure?

Chordat

...She WASN'T. This makes no sense.

ZekeStaright

NOOOooo...

This just turned down the darkest timeline.

I’ve been watching a lot of D&D horror stories lately, and this reminds me of a railroad DM who’s annoyed at his players for not following his script to the letter, and then just forces them to do so.

Paul Rendell

Yeah that doesn't make any sense at all. There's a big difference between an exploit and a cheat.

Raphaël

So huh, "Cheats Off" is a cheat to turn buff potions off, right?

McZed

"Potions aren't cheats, they're a part of-" "CHEATING CHEATER CHEATY FACE!"

AstroChaos

Ok folks, hopefully everyone got the pitchforks I handed out last update. Best get them ready and cut off the escape.

AstroChaos

Much better, yes. It's fun to play with other looks but she is who she really is

gaybunny

Read panel 2 right to left and everything is much better

Fairportfan

"Bend rules" or "cheat" - allee same same

Halcyon

Aw... I thought she just bent the rules. I didn't think she was cheating.

Stephen Gilberg

Eh, I think she looks better this way. That said, I hope she's back to her RL figure rather than, oh, completely flat.

Matt R

and there was a collective NOOOOO from the viewers
