The author writes:

Of all the...Who would have thought that Dick Tracy, of all strips, would resort to swiping dialogue from another strip? And not just any other strip, but The Far Side?!

[Note: In actuality, no actual The Far Side strips were even so much as observed, much less had their dialogue inserted. The setup is a parody of perhaps the best-case scenario of what might end up happening were someone unfortunate enough to actually attempt such a stunt and end up forcing Gary Larson to send his lawyers after us. Perhaps the hardest task was picking out a comic strip to play host to this setup; some strips were a bit more obvious than others, and I wanted to pick something not as obvious, so why not Dick Tracy?]

Original Dick Tracy strip: 2023-04-03. Original The Far Side strips: [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted]
