#1075; In which Idioms meet Idiot

Comic Transcripts

[[A young boy is standing next to a strange vehicle, talking to his friend (possibly boyfriend). Smoke billows out of the contraption with the sound effect “GUPPA GUPPA GUPPA GUPPA”.]]
Inventor: Ahoy there! Finally got the ol’ beast working! The time is now, old man – are you in or are you out?

Friend: I’m out. We’re both out. We’re outside. We’re in the great outdoors. En plein air.
Inventor: No! In on the PLAN, old man – in on the SCHEME! Are you on board?
Friend: No one is on board. The craft is empty.
Inventor: Dratted brat, I’m asking are you coming?

[[The inventor is beginning to get upset.]]
Friend: I’m not coming. I’m standing. I’m immobile. Practically at rest.
Friend: Why would you think I’m coming? Am I growing larger in your vision? That sounds like a personal problem between you an’ your ophthalmologist
Inventor: HANG your TONGUE! I’ve got no gut for semantic foolishness. The beast and I will set forth at dawn. WILL YOU BE THERE?

[[The inventor is visibly irritated.]]
Friend: WHEREVER I will be at any time is by, definition, “here” just as any place I am NOT is, by definition, “there”
Inventor: Is this one of those deals where you don’t want to break up with me so instead you’re just making yourself insufferable so I’ll have to do it
