Pop Tarts have always seemed to me to be the ultimate triumph of convenience over edibility. They’re horrible, they burn your tongue, and all they do is save you the effort of buttering and applying jam to a piece of toast. Do they resemble food? I suppose they’re a good way to get quick calories into earthquake survivors.

So Mark Trail: their only income is from embezzling a lumber mill that they own? I'll readily admit that maybe I don't get it at a glance but I feel like that's not how embezzling works. Also Cricket Bro sells the cricket protein powder and has that tech farm he employed Dinosaur Pajamas at.

Maybe there should've been some sort of build up to this conflict instead of a bunch of random plot threads that go nowhere and are pretty much unrelated. I guess they were taking money from Mark's Dad... somehow.

It's certainly possible to embezzle from your own company. You own it, but it's a separate entity as far as taxes and such are concerned. The company makes a profit, some of which is reinvested (assuming there's good faith effort into making the company work and there's only one owner with no investors or the like, we're dealing with "spherical cow" idealized business here) and the rest goes to you. If you want more money you can have the company slash their budgets to barely or sub-sustainable levels and take the new excess profit until the thing falls apart, and that's perfectly legal (though it's possible/likely to do the same thing illegally by paying below minimum wages or other pesky government regulations). Or if you don't care about legality you just write personal checks from the corporate account, and that's embezzlement. Until you officially give money from the company to yourself, using its money as your own is considered theft.

Thanks for the correction and insight, comics friend. :tipshat:

They did slash their safety regulations but that seems kind of chump change compared to their regular entrepreneur shtick.

The cartoonist who drew lewd campaign material for Australia's ruling Labour party also draws lewd Jucika fan comics. Comics too lewd to post uncensored. To be honest, almost every post of his is too lewd to be posted uncessored. But this particular entry feels true to the spirit of the strip.

I like when these kinds of groups have very stupid costumes, so at least you know they're monstrous dipshits from a mile away. Although I have heard that part of the point is to prevent people taking them too seriously as a threat. I don't really think that works once they've developed a reputation though.
