I hope Gaston is okay.

Hm...seems Nail has some experience with magic worlds...kinda sus.

Dang, class is in session! Teacher Nail, just nailing us with them magic facts.

A dousing rod for the way towards Progress, at least. Good work being the literal dousing rod, Gaz!

this *seems* like progress, but in this maze dimension we cant be too sure.

It's like a nightmarish version of Antichamber!

purrty sure Noel means Parse?
Parce is colombian \ slang word.

as always, thanks for sharing this crazy funky beautiful work of art that is Hero Oh Hero!

We can blame Nail for many things, but not for lack of efficiency.

(also, shouldn't it be "parse" instead of "parce" in panel 3?)

Wait, 'earthly' logic?
They're on earth? Or is it just author mannerisms leaking through?

Am I the only one who is thinking that cats is a magician who is about to pull a rabbit from a hat?

There was a similar discussion over the word Asia all the way back in page 607.
Maybe just read the comment of the author on that page.

@Pirate-Rob

I'm going with most populations just naming their homeworld some variation of "ground", "earth" or "dirt" in whatever main language they're using.

Also, translation convention. The written text is for our benefit, not the characters; what they really say would be metaphors more appropriate to their own culture.

"A small House could house an entire mansion worth of space inside of it[...]).

Does Nails know about Daddys house?
Does Nail know about Noels past?
...

Oh joy, non-Euclidian mazes. At least Antichamber's was rather.....nondescript.

This place is unfortunately rather loaded with stuff all over the place where "ghastly" would be downright cozy by comparison.
