Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1
I CALL TO ORDER THIS COLLOQUIUM OF PATRIARCHS. WE COME TOGETHER TO AGREE ON THE OPTIMAL PRONUNCIATION OF A NEW CARTOON SHOW CALLED "SHIMMER AND SHINE."

Panel 2
BROTHER JOHANSEN. REPORT.
"SHIMMER AND SWINE" HAS FAILED TO GENERATE THE DESIRED RESPONSE. I SUSPECT "SWINE" IS TOO OBSCURE FOR THE SHOW'S TARGET AGE GROUP.

Panel 3
DRAT. HAVE WE HAD ANY ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES. YES, BROTHER NG.
I ATTEMPTED THE PHRASE "SHIMMER AND SHITE" BUT POWERFUL NON-CHILD FORCES WITHIN THE HOUSEHOLD REJECTED IT.

Panel 4
DAMN. THAT'S WHAT I SAID, BUT IT JUST MADE HER ANGRIER.

Panel 5
BROTHER PYLE…
IF I MAY…
"SHIMMER AND SLIME," WHILE ADMITTEDLY REQUIRING THE CHANGE TO TWO CONSONANTS, NEVERTHELESS RESULTED IN BOTH COMPREHENSION AND IRRITATION ON THE PART OF 7 UNRELATED GIRLS AT A RECENT SLOMBER PARTY.

Panel 6
I ASK UNANIMOUS CONSENT TO IMPOSE THE SLIME VARIANT ON ALL CHILDREN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE AN OVERPRICED CRAFT BEER YOU HAVE HIDDEN FROM YOUR FAMILY.

Panel 7
LATER…
MORE LIKE… SHIMMER AND SLIME!

Panel 8
DAD! STOP! STOP IT!
ALL HAIL THE DARK BROTHERHOOD!
WHAT?
NOTHING, NOTHING.
