This comic is uncanny to me.
Years ago, my wife and I worked on a product idea called The Butt Shut, which was basically a tube that piped farts to pre-installed wall sockets. This way the stench only bothered outside peasants.
We even theorized all sorts of add-ons and cross marketing promotions -- a methane collector to help save the planet, scented snap-on attachments in case you wanted to be nice to the outside weirdos.
I even drew up a detailed blueprint: https://trask.cc/tbs.png
We tried to pitch this to potential investors, who invariably rebuffed our proposals. I suppose genius just isn't appreciated in its time.
My wife and I will do our part to rectify that, and acknowledge fellow unappreciated geniuses Neil and Marissa.

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
(No, but this comic did.)
Microwavable!

Okay, this is funny, but it does raise a very serious question.
Why don't all modern phones offer the option to hang up after letting it ring for a bit longer? Thats actually so genius.

This reminds me back when Courage the Cowardly Dog was on. You can't just turn it on after missing the beginning and expect to understand the context.

Never, ever know where the hell you are going...
Makes it so interesting!

My wife would consider me childish for how much I laughed at this comic. Bravo.

Drops of Jupiter is good. I had Elton John in my head though
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man

When I was a kid, I would use an empty plastic coke bottle to catch farts in the bath. What I used them for is nobody's business but mine.
Years later, I saw Adam Savage construct a machine to do the exact same thing on an episode of Mythbusters. He was so proud.
It was at that moment that I realized our idols were mere mortals, and even God was likely dead.

There is no way you started panel one with the knowledge you were going to end that way.
