To make money

Is making it yourself,

A good samaritan.

Honker, where are you?

Who did it this time?

The kids in biology class.

They called me a wimpy Bookworm nerdcake

With bad taste in clothes.

Do you think that's true?

Well, of course not. Your...

Clothes are fine.

What about the rest of it?

Well, no. You're not exactly a wimp

Or a nerdcake, Generally speaking.

I'm not?

Well, no. You're...

You're just, uh, Subdued, that's all.

It's the same thing, gosalyn.

Oh, a nerdcake by any other name

Is still a wimp.

Oh, the poor wimp.

Once I print my own money, I'll get my revenge.

Now for the flawless forgery.

It's incredible! It's perfect! It's...

It's a puddle on the floor.

I musssst find quality ink

Or I'll never leave this cave!

This is a very baffling case,

But with privacy And concentration,

Maybe...

Doaaahhh!
