HERE'S A GAME CARD THAT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO WIN GROCERIES.

NO THANKS. JUST TAKE A PENNY OFF OF MY BILL AND WELL CALL IT EVEN.

UM.

I CAN'T DO THAT. WHY NOT?

ISN'T THAT GAME CARD WORTH A PENNY?

WE DONT HAVE A PROCEDURE.

HOW'S THAT MY PROBLEM?

LOOK, MAYBE YOU COULD EAT SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH A PENNY AND I'LL LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

HOW ABOUT A GRAPE? I LIKE GRAPES.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ONE THAT'S BEEN ON THE FLOOR.

IT TASTED LIKE VICTORY.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
