Value
What follows is a list of prices and values that have been mentioned in the comic, ordered by value:
- The spell to summon Parson cost a total of 500,000[1] Shmuckers; 150,000 for the casting and support plan, 350,000 (which is all that Stanley would pay) for the spell itself. Stanley considered this an outrageous sum, and the larger figure was literally Gobwin Knob's entire treasury[2] at the start of the comic.
- Jillian argues that 2,500 Shmuckers for Charlie's Thinkagram[3] are far from a "nominal" fee as advertised by one of the Archons. Webinar mentions that the fee is "for two-way".
- Jillian mentions that her Thinkagram to Ansom (apparently a service provided by an Archon) cost her 1700 Shmuckers, which was almost her entire purse.[4]
