Rabid: I'm so bored with radio, network and cable television, newspapers, magazines, short stories, novels, websites, film, video, recorded and live music, painting, sculpture, poetry, theatre, photography, and dance!
Rabish: How we lust for novelty!
Dr Quickly: I have invented a new art form that combines image and text in juxtaposed superimposition!
Rabid: Like... subtitled film?
Dr Quickly: Not exactly.

Badger: I AM A SUPER HERO
Sage: I AM A SUPER VILLAIN
Badger: WE FIGHT FOR IDEOLOGICAL SUPREMACY
Sage: OK BUT FIRST A NAP

Dr Quickly: Must you say that about al my innovations in artistic media?
[[Rabot has a sign: "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY"]]
Rabot: No more shall Comic Book Day suffer under the yoke of the ruling class!
Rabid: SUFFER? If it weren't for my patronage...
