I think this comic might need explaining. Every so often in Phantom Hourglass, you'll have to solve a bunch of puzzles while under a time limit, and while avoiding the invincible guards. Fortunately, being noticed by the guards in itself won't cause any danger, it's if they catch up that you need to worry about. But you have the chance to run away for a safe zone, which will not only make you invisible to the guards, but will halt the countdown time until the coast is clear. Additionally, you find red pots scattered throughtout that, when broken open, will make a small safe zone for you to stand in. Handy if you need to be in area that's miles from the nearest safe zone. The best part about them is that they're permanent (until you leave the room). But I thought at first that they weren't, and was expecting any second for the mini safe zone to vanish. Hence, we got this gag.
