Probably that candle wax or some poo poo but it isn't going to help because that doesn't make the fumes that have already filled the room disappear. They'll still be breathing that poo poo in and Weirdly is going to be changing their diapers while marching them to his trophy room or whatever his plan is here.

Straight up selling the comic strip as ad space seems totally a-okay as well as respectful to all these comic strips Nancy has paid "homage" to!

^^^^ RandomFerret, these are loving awesome! Keep going! ^^^^

I think what the Nemi strip is trying to point out is that media like Facebook, and, well, the Internet in general, allow "every man to be a blowhard". There are a couple of my "friends" (usually old high school acquaintances that have, well, never really grown up), that constantly have to "one up", or "one down" whoever they're responding to. I've got a couple of people I work with that are like that too. You know, the kind who you can tell "Hey, I just found out I have cancer, and I have less than one month to live", who will then in-loving-variably bitch about something (usually fictional) that has either happened to them, to a family member, or whatever, THAT'S SO MUCH WORSE!!11!1!! The character "Topper" in Dilbert is the perfect example. Anyway, what I usually say to people (like Nemi in this case) that constantly bitch about people on Facebook: "Why? Why do you read it? Just delete your account. No one's holding a gun to your head.".
