YOUR IDEA WON T WORK BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY TRIED IT AND FAILED.

OTHERS HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SIMPLY REMIND YOU OF MY IDEA.

I MEAN, YOU REMIND ME OF A RODENT, BUT THAT DOESN'T PROVE YOU LIKE CHEESE.

I LOVE CHEESE.

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.
