Quote of the Day

"Sir, our arrival in this city coincides with something called a comicon.

"Great, what's that?"

"A social event where aficionados gather to celebrate mass media entertainment."

"Why would they do that?"

"Well, sir, as far as I can tell, the venue provides an opportunity for the producers of that mass entertainment to co-opt genuine appreciation for their products with the sole aim of maximizing their profits."

"I see. In other words, organized exploitation of innocent and enthusiastic people."

"Yes sir."
