Added DiffLines:

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Heavily downplayed in "The Highlight Zone Problem". Peg apparently enters a dimension where everything is DeliberatelyMonochrome, but it was almost certainly AllJustADream. Ramone does ask, "[[OrWasItADream But was it a dream?]]" and Cat does appear in grayscale at the end, but ending gags are often deliberately nonsensical on ''Peg + Cat''.
