Mark lies when he says this comic was on time, in his column over there to the right. It came in nine whole minutes late. I spent those nine minutes fielding panicked calls from our just-in-time manufacturing plants in China. Their extremely expensive prison labor was idle for those nine minutes, costing AfterlifeBluesCo about ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Disclaimer: This was a joke. We do not hire prison labor, we do not have shady dealings with illegal factory operators, and the nice gentlemen with guns from Shanghai are not forcing me to type this.
