Now, replace it with tic-tacs and Erin would not care enough to know the difference...

Also, Gunny never sleeps because his past killed it in its sleep...

... And then it's revealed that they were actually pills for Erin's angina.

OH SHIT!

Well, Rad is from the "winners don't do drugs" era.

Wow... scumbag Rad is scumbag.

I mean, if he's a hallucination, then he's disregarding Erin's mental health for his own selfish ends. But if he's a hallucination, how is he able to go flushing physical objects down the toilet while Erin sleeps? In which case, he's disregarding Erin's mental health for absolutely no reason at all. :/

My guess is this is Erin flushing the pills herself, the 'Rad' part of her brain not wanting to go away just yet, if ever. Or maybe she's just crazy enough to be telekinetically moving shit around while she sleeps. Then again, didn't Link physically punch someone over in the other comic, ages ago? Who's really crazy here?

I...

God. Damnit. Rad...

No matter how you look at this, this was a ridiculous thing for him to do...

Hmm....I'm guessing the reason for flushing the pills is that if she takes them she won't see Rad or the others anymore, and thus Rad couldn't try to help her anymore either.

Still, taking someone off their meds won't likely be without consequences. Hope Erin will be okay.

Wait, if Rad is a figment of imagination, would the pills still be there and unflushed or is this all Erin doing while still be unconscious?

You don't come off those kind of pills without a rollercoaster of withdrawal symptoms.

Unless he's been doing that sneakily before he manifested/revealed himself...

Either way, not cool lil guy.

Can't wait to see how this all pans out.

She's having hallucinations, all right, only they're solid.

Red Dwarf, innit.

I love that Gunny is just lumbering around the house at night.

It's starting to pick up again.

I'm going with what a number of people said in the previous comic: this is some Fight Club Tyler Durden stuff going on. It is indeed Erin flushing her own pills and what-not. As someone pointed out, the person who dropped the pills of said "Your voice sounds weird" as though he were speaking to Erin and she was clearly using a funny voice, as opposed to "Wait, who's in there?!" which would be a more appropriate reaction to hearing a voice you've never heard before coming from the apartment of someone you care about who's been shut-in and isolated for 2 years.

In short: she's dreaming that she's asleep while physically acting as Rad in this situation. Crazy people that are off their anti-crazy pills tend to do crazy things...and often actively try to keep themselves from taking said anti-crazy pills again. What a shock. :p

I feel as if I saw someone call it last comic.

Anyway, if Rad is so anti-drug, why doesn't he toss out the pot too? :p

He's needs her to stay crazy otherwise he'll have to go back. This isn't him being a part of Wally Bear's NO gang.

Yep, I called it. (Well, me and a few other people.)

One day I hope we see a version of this comic where we see everything that's happening 'for real'. That is to say, rather than seeing everything how Erin sees it, we instead see a crazy Erin acting out the roles herself.
