This is getting silly now.
Actually, I question whether that last quote was something I pulled from the comic book or was my reaction to the comic book; and thus, something that I wrote down in the wrong section (and if so, it should have been in Running Thoughts, below). Anyway (whether this line appears in the comic book or not), it's a totally accurate observation.
