"Customer: I'd like to buy a letter S.

Scribe: A normal S or a bizarre eel-like creature with a bird's head chasing after a seagull?

Customer: Hmmm. Not sure I'm totally sold. Could you make it female?

Scribe: Buddy, you're not going to believe this..."

Chalmers (Pointing at an obese young man dressed in a T-shirt bearing the words "I'm #1 so why try harder"): "Good Lord! Who is that?"
Skinner: "Fatboy Slim." (It isn't, the photo is of an unnamed participant of the 1983 Fat People's Festival in Danville, Virginia.)
Chalmers: "Fatboy Slim!?"
Chalmers: "Right Here"
Chalmers: "Right Now"

4-panel Calvin & Hobbes strip.
p. 1: Dad, alone in frame calls out to Calvin: "Hey, Calvin! Guess what time it is!" Calvin, from out of image: "Why, what time is it?"
p. 2: Dad, leaning into frame from the left: "It's a very *special* time!" C., extremely hyped: "Oh boy, oh boy! What time is it?" Dad: "Do you really want to know?"
p.3: C., losing it: "Yes, yes! Tell me! Tell me! Quick! Please! Yes!" Dad: "*It's LOSS time! Oh boy!!*"
p.4: Dad stands contemplating the crushed remains of Calvin.

(It's loss.)
