Diaper Quest... There are many things that I have already told you in the PDF guide but there are a few facts that I don't think I have ever revealed.
To begin with, Diaper Quest was supposed to be a video game, canonically speaking. You can tell by the large amount of video games references, interface usage (even in DQ: Next) and the loading bar at the beginning of each chapter. In the end I decided to keep this odd decision for the sake of consistency, but it has been toned down a lot in Next (it usually appears with Larius browsing menus and when he's kicked from the party).
I was also planning for a very WTF plot twist that never made it: having Nimbus be the player of the videogame and show a very brief scene where you see the computer screen and the tiny girl playing. This would've been linked back to Nimbus reading the Diaper Quest instruction manual inside the comic as a 4th wall joke.
It makes no sense, I know, but this led to the odd decision of letting Nimbus have a role in "When wishes come true" as a supporting character and make the weird reveal in that comic because I already had a good ending for DQ,, but as you know it didn't happen because WWCT also had a rather satisfying end as well. Inother words I didn't plan ahead and I screwed up ^^'
Or did I...? Maybe all of this will make sense one day :3

I think I've seen that last picture somewhere before I think. I thought it was one of those typical manga cover epilogue they usually have. Now, it makes a lot more sense.
