The idiom is "publish or perish," meaning that as an academic you've got to keep producing work or you have effectively no career.

The comic uses the phrase "publisher perish," a reference to how Jameson, who publishes a newspaper, is in mortal peril.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


That is a really good pun. Or it was, until Bongo Bill explained it.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I'm getting a really strong The Sound of Music vibe from Lizard's pose in that last panel.

Oh the swamps are aliiiiiive
With the sound of reeeeeptiiiiiiiiles
The sounds they have maaaaaade
For a million years!

OK. That tag-line in the last panel is loving brilliant. It's like there's a whole other person who does the "Next:" part on Sunday strips, and they're a loving genius at it.

The boat got an oil transfusion and now keeps morphing between different states of boat. poo poo's really going to hit the fan when a drop of Spider-Man blood gets into the engine.

After the first panel I was hoping he'd get hit by the boat, and I'm still not convinced he won't get hit by the boat.
