Comic Transcripts

– I know how to ensure that our son will change the world! His first and middle names should be some other, FAMOUS name, as in “Martin Luther King”. / Or “George Washington Carver, Soybean Hero”.

– How about Genghis Khan Swanson. Idi Amin Swanson. James K. Polk Swanson. Rudolf Diesel Swanson.
– You just want a kid named Diesel.

[[man makes a dawning realization]]

– Vin Diesel Swanson.
