Riz complains about the author and decides to leave for a better Comic, which leaves Brennan to decide that he's too sober to deal with this. Then we see the unfortunate Comic that has to deal with Riz now, as Garfield's owner Jon Arbuckle is stood bewildered at what is going on

Deluxe Lonely: moon-
bottled inside
notes of sighs thickly
unfinished,
pressed against frosted glass

gingerly warm, throughlines
of amber

salt.
touching.
almost.

ghost trail of violets
silver
craters petalled

decant distilled
a sillage of lightyears

balanced
light

“The #deluxe version comes with whistles & bells & all sort of added features.” he explained.
“I don’t know! The premium seems steep to me for some stuff I’m not even sure I’ll ever use.”
“Give me a break here, lady. If I send an order in for the economy version everyone will laugh at me.”

“Gio Napoletano, I was taken from my family and brought here as a child. It was a painful and horrible experience. But now as a Lostai soldier, I have power and wealth. At my young age, I already command a squadron and own a #deluxe home. I can help you achieve the same."

The lady left the room, leaving Riz necking a beer.
"Ya know," he said to me. "I'm gettin a romantic #undertone 'ere."
"I'm getting a I-killed-my-husband-and-you're-next undertone myself."
"Ya jus paranoid."
Then she came back with an axe.
"Don't fukin say it."
