Comic #4191: excuse-me-sir
Description
Here's the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1:
- Character 1: "Excuse me, sir. Would you be interested in having your moderate social views repackaged as radical statements, then sold to you as designer merchandise?"
- Character 2: "Would I ever!"
Panel 2:
- Character 1: "Right this way, sir."
- Character 2: "We have this shirt which promotes the idea that real experience is preferable to acquisitiveness."
Panel 3:
- Character 1: "That notion, obvious to all people, is expressed via the word 'unplug'."
- Character 2: "Somehow, in the transition from an agreeable notion to a slogan, it acquires the modal sense of challenging person or perspective, even though the general idea is uncontroversial."
Panel 4:
- Character 2: "I want to buy it, but could you please be less forthright about your business model?"
- Character 1: "That'll cost 25% extra."
