"I hate doing MNC comics without punchlines, and especially when those comics contain errors. The shirt that Beau is wearing shows the atomic symbol for platinum, a double entendre because it is both a heavy metal and a million-selling achievement in records sales. Unfortunately, I forgot to drop the T into its lowercase form, the accepted abbreviation for atomic symbols. I chose to do a semi-tribute comic in the spirit of Ben’s Carlin sendaway bit from ages back because of my excitement over the Eddie Riggs character. Like any human being with a pulse, I enjoy the work of Tim Schafer and his efforts to inject legitimate personality into his characters without sacrificing quality."
