That's how it works. |comic strip | panel 4 - JOHN: SLAVE!!; 	DAN: I thought our "Sweet Caroline" had a real edge to it, by the way.; 	CHRISTINA: (silent) |

(sigh) You've got so much to learn about the industry.; 	RONI: You're an idiot with a dumbass sensibility.; 	DAN: Ooo, John, two words: neck scarf. |
