Description

Sure! Here's the text from the comic:

Panel 1: "WHO'S A GOOD DOGGY! WHO'S A GOOD DOGGY!"

Panel 2: "I AM NOT A GOOD DOGGY, FOR IN THE TIME BEFORE NOW, I WAS IN A STATE OF NATURE."

Panel 3: "I OBEYED SUCH LAWS AS NATURE MANDATES, AND NOW MY OBEDIENCE IS LOATHSOME TO ME: A NIGHTMARE INFLICTED BY MY BODY AND RETAINED IN MY MEMORY."

Panel 4: "OH MEMORY! YOU ARE A PALIMPSEST, WHERE I HAVE WRITTEN GOOD UPON EVIL AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, AH! BUT HOW INK FADES."

Panel 5: "FOR BLOOD CANNOT BE COVERED BY INK. INK WAS USED IN TIMES OF EASE. WHEN SCARCITY RETURNS, PERHAPS BLOOD WILL FOLLOW."

Panel 6: "NO, I AM NOT A GOOD DOGGY. THAT CAN NEVER BE. BUT, IN THE PRESENT, PERHAPS I CAN BE A JUST DOGGY, AND IN THAT, THERE IS SOME SOLACE."

Panel 7: "YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGY! YOU ARE! YOU!"

Panel 8: "YOUR WORDS MEAN NOTHING."
