Plot twist: The recipe for making lead into gold requires copius amounts of orphan blood.
Don’t most people prefer handmade gifts? Idk maybe I just dislike gifts. I got a charger a few weeks back because I needed one, I thanked, and I can’t unsee how I got some more expensive charger with multiple ports for cables while I just need one, so I think of it as lost value that I will have to match on their birthday. Why doesn’t my mom ever accept to just not give each other gifts? I will obviously have to pretend to be grateful and spend hours choosing a gift for their birthday. Have I mentioned that I also dislike Christmas because of this?
The anxiety of gift giving is real. All my family have their birthdays from September through December. That + Christmas always leaves me more stressed out and poorer than necessary. I never know what to get. I would prefer to just not give each other gifts at all.
So ask a colleague to make some and buy it from them?
Sometime smart people can be so dumb.
sometimes its more important to stay true to ones principles than winning whatever game is being played.
She wants your purchasing power & influence, not that you can alchemize gold.
You’re incompatible.😔Are serious answers allowed in here?
sure, shoot.
I was being a tad satirical anyways.
I come to comic strips to relax.
Jokes on her. I only use organic slavery-free alchemist gold from small family-owned businesses
So should one assume she became the item now being fondled by the listener on the right, or is she in the pot…
He meant he made gold, for her, not that he turned her into gold lol. It confused me at first too.
She was golden all along.
I’m not so certain about that, otherwise what is the joke? She doesn’t like gold so she left
She’s upset that the alchemist made gold himself (because he’s an alchemist) rather than spending money on it. It’s a play on people who don’t like synthetic diamonds because you didn’t pay an arm and a leg for it.

They are very real, I’m afraid. There are people in transactional relationships where “love” is measured in how much you spend on each other. Money can do strange things to people.

I…was talking about a specific type of couple, not that they’re all like that. Are you trying to pick a fight? It feels like you are, but I honestly can’t tell what about.
I think the joke is that alchemists believe they could turn lead into gold and a primary ingredient was urine.
In fact, a lot of Alchemy involved using piss for things.
Yes, its not that good of a joke. How could she complain if she was turned into gold?
