Chris: Whatever. Since I’m present in the comic itself, it’s probably time I leave this asinine narration-conversation.

You can DO that?

Chris: Once more, you feign ignorance in the name of artful posturing? Phooey. I’ve no patience for this brand of hollow discourse. In any case, it's time I excuse myself — 'pop out,' as it were. This has always been your daft little comic, not mine. Run it as you please. I wash my hands of it. Farewell.

Wait! You can’t leave yet!
