Here's the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: "LISTEN UP EVERYONE! THE “SPONCH” THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN GIVING US TO EAT IS NOT FOOD. IT'S PEOPLE."

Panel 2: "SPONCH IS NOT FOOD! IT'S PEOPLE." "PEEEEEOOOOPLE!!!"

Panel 3: "SOON…" "THE WHITE HOUSE HAS ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE STATING THAT 'MISTAKES WERE MADE,' AND THAT 'THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SPONCHGATE WILL FACE REPERCUSSIONS.'"

Panel 4: "THOSE IN THE SPONCH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY ASSURE ME THEY ARE WORKING NIGHT AND DAY ON AN ANSWER TO THE SPONCH QUESTION. BUT LET ME GIVE YOU SOME STRAIGHT TALK: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHEN IT WAS GOING ON." "ON BEHALF OF THE SPONCH COUNCIL, I DENOUNCE THE ADMINISTRATION’S ATTEMPT TO HARM THIS IMPORTANT NATIONAL INDUSTRY, AND MAY I ADD: WHEREVER IT COMES FROM, SPONCH CONTAINS EXACTLY THE RIGHT NUTRIENTS FOR A HEALTHY HUMAN BODY."

Panel 5: "AFTER PRIVATE TALKS WITH THE SPONCH COUNCIL, I’VE RECOMMENDED THE ISSUE BE GIVEN TO CONGRESS FOR DEBATE. BUT LET ME BE CLEAR: IF BLAME SHOULD FALL ON THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, I AM PREPARED TO CLAIM ANY LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE, NO MATTER HOW ABSURD, IN ORDER TO AVOID CULPABILITY."

Panel 6: "PEOPLE ARE ASKING 'IS SPONCH PEOPLE?' WELL, IN MY COUNTY, YOU BET IT IS." "PEOPLE, MEET FRED BRYANT, WHO WORKS EVERY DAY AT THE SPONCH FACTORY TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY, OR ANITA JOHNSON, WHO HOPEFULLY FINDS ADVANCE SPONCH CAPTURE SYSTEMS."

Panel 7: "BOY, I HOPE THEY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPONCH QUESTION SOON."

Panel 8: "WE NOW GO LIVE TO A CELEBRITY’S NIPPLE."
