I love the idea that he adopts such a short moment so precisely and than doesn't change his camouflage for hours. Is it the impact of the alcohol or a tardis like situation? We will never know

That camouflage was the last thing before he got too drunk

Um, ackshully, chameleons don't change color to camouflage. The artist should have used octopuses instead.

Actually the plural is octopoda and they don't live on trees, nor do they party that hard

Octopuses, octopi, or octopodes is acceptable. Never heard of octopoda.

It's actually hexadecapus for a pair of them, and so on.

I have never heard of octopodes. Octopoda is the original Greek plural. I don't think it's just in English though

I just realized that the whole conversation was in English. I should of assumed that includes that word, too. How stupid of me

Literally 1984. Mind reading horror story. :)

But why are the boys not colored with a picture of their surroundings?
