C: “Great! Now I’m seeking a comic where C3PO tries to talk R2D2 out of his spanking fetish.”
M: “Um, okay…how about Droids #3?”
C: “Just what I’m looking for! Now how about a comic where there’s a creationism versus evolution debate between Usagi Yojimbo and one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?”
M: “So happens we just received a copy of Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 2 #2 the other day…I think this’ll do you.”
C: “Delightful! Now I can use a comic where Baby Superman and Baby Lois Lane are just on the verge of getting married.”

C: “…That’s any good?”
M: “Um, sorry, can’t help you there.”
C: “That’s too bad…does he at least have really pointy shoes, and does he maybe kick someone in the head?”
M: “As a matter o’fact….”
C: “Wrap it up…I’ll take it!”
M: “Huzzah!”
