A hero speaks dramatically as a small crowd behind them watches impassively.
Hero: We must ask ourselves: Where is the line between unchecked greed and enjoying life’s simple pleasures?
The camera pans over to reveal the hero is standing at the window of an ice cream truck. The ice cream vendor looks exasperated.
Vendor: I promise I will think about that if you just choose your cone size…
Hero: But would it be fair for me to have so much when others have so little?
The customers in the ice cream line look grumpy, especially the person at the back.
Vendor: Others have so little because you’re holding up the line.
Hero: Oh, right. Umm, let’s see…
The customer from the back of the line is in the driver’s seat, driving off with the truck.
Villainous Customer: There is no right or wrong size, there is only the power to seize as much as you want!
Vendor: God dammit, Fred.
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?
LOL … Seize the means of ice-cream production!
Good one again, glad to see you’re both back, Bunny and Chris!
Perhaps the moral of this comic is that actions speak louder than words? That’s what I came away with anyways.
She questions her right,
To have while others do not
It is all moot now.
This could be a start of a beautiful friendship.
Or a completely dramatic rivalry.
This comic reminded me that overdramatic prose is a simple pleasure of spec fic.
This will evolve into a pulp story where the two of them fight over the ice-cream truck and the poor ice-cream vendor becomes the male damsel which must be saved over and over again :)
This is what it’s like to live in an Ayn Rand novel.
Just kidding. The monologues would be a lot longer.
