Cat and Girl vs the Merfolk

Cat and Girl walk down a bust street. Splash! Girl wades into the water. "How long have we been wet?" Cat asks. "Always-", replies Girl, "you weren't paying attention." "I guess I just got used to it" says Cat. "Is it getting deeper? Should we worry"? They wade further in. "It's OK," says Girl, "class is fluid." "I should have brought galoshes," Cat says. "Personal responsibility can only go so far" replies Girl. "It's all we can do to keep our own heads above water." "What's below the water," Cat wonders. "I should have brought my scuba gear" Girl says. "Personal responsibility can only go so far" says Cat. BUB BUB BUB, he sticks his head in the water. "Eventually the layers of sediment," Girl says, "hardens into caste." "WOW you don't want to be in there" says Cat. The water arounds them hardens, and they are stick in place. They look at the wasteland around them. A hand with a coffee cup peeks out of the newly hardened ground. A hat sits on a mound. "Looks OK up here" Girl says. Cat looks over - "Ooooh free hat!"

Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

A 1930s newspaper clipping headlined:

“Mechanical Man” Servant of Mankind and Not Oppressor, Avers Inventor.

Below, a photograph of a man in a suit and bow tie standing with a crude robot, essentially a radio mounted in the torso of a humanoid robot made out of what looks like flat pieces of sheet metal. The robot and inventor are posing in a classroom setting, with an American flag, a blackboard, and some sort of 18th century portrait of a man.

The past is never dead.

On the old highway - past the collapsed bridge - by the abandoned mall - and the old Covid testing site - in the abandoned addition to the abandoned mall - inside the abandoned Pandora Jewelry - there is a box. Cat and Girl approach a chest. They open it - "It's just jewelry!" says Cat. Girl looks inside. "Everything else escaped." "Well where am I gonna find MISFORTUNE?" Cat asks. They leave. "We could try the Jamba Juice" Girl says. "For an OVERPRICE ground bones of the state's enemies smoothie?" Says Cat. "NO THANKS."

What's the point of going to the doctor if they're just going to find something wrong with you

I do somehow deeply believe that speech bubbles that meet the edges of a panel are coarse and simple while speech bubbles entirely within a panel are sophisticated and intellectual

The Good Consumer.

"I'm BOYCOTTING Megacorp" Girl says, shaking her first. "I'm cancelling Mega-TV! Im taking my money out of Megacoin - I've stopped shopping at Megamart - I've stopped reading the Mega Post. I told EVERYONE I'm deleting my MEGA APP ACCOUNT. And I'm reducing the amount of time I spend on my Megacorp ADDICTIVE TRACKING DEVICE! I will REENGAGE with the WORLD." Girl throws her phone away and looks into the woods. "If I can't buy bombs from Mega-Arms," Cat says, "how am I supposed to MASSACRE my CIVILIANS?" "There shouldn't be just one company for everything," says Girl.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an easy-to-follow feed of your favorite #TopatoCo #creators? Well, after conferring with the rotted shadow creature that lives in the crawlspace above the employee bathrooms, we have one now!
