Description

Sure! Here’s a detailed transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Character 1 (interviewer): Why do you think you played so well today?

Character 2 (football player): Well, I'll tell ya. What I do is I imagine myself killing everyone on the other team.

Panel 2: Character 1: I visualize their corpses, John. Character 2: Wow!

Panel 3: Character 1: Not as a metaphor or anything. Wealthiness is correlated with longevity. Success in sports means more money. Money means life.

Panel 4: Character 1: When I make them lose, I am literally killing them. I am taking away their life and time they would have spent with loved ones.

Panel 5: Character 2: So I… uh… you showed a lot of team spirit today. Could you talk…

Panel 6: Character 1: Every success on the field is a quantum of murder, John.

This comic features a darkly humorous take on the competitive nature of sports and is characterized by the stark contrast between the football player's serious tone and the more casual tone of the interviewer.
