Guest comic by Randall Munroe of xkcd.
BARTLEBY: Michaelangelo, why have you ceased your painting?
MICHAELANGELO (above and offpanel): No...no point, Bartleby.
BARTLEBY: Are you drunk?
MICHAELANGELO: Yes.
BARTLEBY: But you must complete this ceiling!
MICHAELANGELO: I have seen the future.
There is war, famine, and a heated planet.
MICHAELANGELO: Why create when the future holds such horrors?
BARTELBY: Because without you it would be worse.
BARTLEBY: And because--...
What are you painting?
MICHAELANGELO: A gateway, through which protrudes a cat!
He observes your sin, Bartleby.
