How do you do that? I didn’t know (and I tried throughout the game).
Good ones! Added. The one about the man-eating plant was already there.
Spoilers!
And if you give man eating plant another liquid, I don’t remember which one but it’s written in a book in the library about botanics, you can bring the plant back in its previous state.
You can free Willy only after you turned off “Chuck”, while you go for the last tour for the endings. I suppose it’s because all the things that were under strict control of Chuck no longer are now, including jail.

I’ll have to try those! Can anyone offer more details about the Man-Eating Plant reversal?

By the way, I added a big “SPOILERS!” tag to the title of the topic, and here is that big bold warning on the first thread. I don’t think it’s necessary to blur comments any more.
If someone ignores the title and wanders into this topic inadvertently, ignores the large bold-type warnings on the first post and all the blurred text in it, then… well, they are on their own.

OK, according to posts in that thread, the book is by user @Festarossa, and it is quoting actions from Maniac Mansion. Apparently, TwP replicates the behavior as an in-joke.

You mean the fizzy drink? It won’t reverse anything, just “deactivate” the plant. It was part of a puzzle chain in the original Maniac Mansion.
I don’t know if it’s an easter egg but if you choose to insult the audience on Randsome flashback at the end, he is going to get the curse again and will have a sad ending.
What do you mean “deactivate”? Will it return the plant to its size? What about after eating Leonard? I’m asking within the context of Thimbleweed Park.

Ah! True! I should add a section for “alternate endings” as well. Thanks!

I wonder if this idea is intended to be a subtle reference to the 1993 movie…
LOL! Probably just a coincidence.
There is a review of Maniac Mansion in section 3.1 of the library.
There is a book about pixelated bodies in section 3.4 very funny.
I found a book acturately explaining the origins of the Wilhelm Scream.
Eheheh who knows?
Maybe we should keep stuff from backers and fans separate so it’s not becoming that cluttered.
Easter eggs are typically stuff added by the developers of a game.
E.g. instead of listing all backer items I’d make a Inventory Items sections instead listing special items which would also include some backer items (like the tea and eye drops) but then others like maybe Atari cartridges (e.g. referencing Rescue on Fractalus! - “Behind Jaggi Lines”).
I’d also only list books which were written by the developers.
And didn’t somebody mention Wiki-like posts being possible with this forum software?
Yes, any “Regular” member can make his own posts a “wiki post”. There is an option under the wrench icon.
In my opinion the tricky part of using a wiki post is to organize the edits so that anyone follows the same criteria.
Thanks, I think it’s fine the way it is for now. I am entering this from an iPad at the moment, so it’s not too easy for me to edit large volumes of content.

Just got Regular 21h ago so I tried it with:
Although there is probably not much to add.
If you give to the plant the radioactive waste, the plant will be “activated”, meaning that it will be ready to eat Leonard.
After activating the plant and before it grows and eats Leonard, if you give it the fizzy drink, then the plant will be “deactivated”, meaning that it will not eat Leonard anymore.
