Open source transcript

BEFORE I TELL YOU ABOUT OUR NEWEST PRODUCT, I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE I HAD AS A CHILD.

IS YOUR STORY RELATED TO THE TOPIC, OR IS IT JUST AN EXCUSE TO YAMMER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

IM TRYING TO MANIPULATE YOUR EMOTIONS TO SHORT- CIRCUIT YOUR CRITICAL THINKING.

OKAY. CARRY ON

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.
