    Default One last prophecy?

    So, I was re-reading strip 331 and I noticed, Blackwing also asked the kobold for something, and the kobold answered with Try ginkgo bilboa.

    So, I get that's most likely a stupid joke and nothing else... but has that event come to pass? and what was Blackwing asking?

    Ginko biloba [1] is a herb with reputed[2] medicinal properties including boosting intelligence, and fighting memory loss. The forum's speculation is, Blackwing was asking something like "How can I get my stupid master to remember that I exist?"


    [1] The Giant's work contains a number of unimportant spelling errors. Bilboa instead of biloba is most likely one of these, but just might be a reference to Bilbo Baggins.

    [2] Unsuported by medical research.

    I like to think that there's somehow a direct causal link between Blackwing adding Ginkgo biloba extract to V's drinks, and V's mental breakdown, which led to them finally acknowledging Blackwing as a partner.

    Maybe Blackwing asked about something that had absolutely nothing to do with V whatsoever and will not be mentionned ever because it didn't matter to anyone but him?
