When I say "according to my research" I mean any of the following:

1. I am making it up
2. My niece sent me a TikTok on the subject
3. I ran my theory by my dog, and he appeared to agree

Play it Later - Gator Days

Transcript

Panel 1

August has just finished downloading a game that he's been looking forward to playing. Unfortunately, he also has to get to work so he doesn't have time to playing it right now. On his computer screen is the notice that the download is complete and an option to tip "15%", "30%", or "50%".

August (thinking): I've been waiting for this game forever. I'll play it after work.

Panel 2

It's later in the evening and August is making dinner. He's putting some onions in a pot and thinking about his new game. As much as he'd like to be playing right now, they got to eat and he promised his son one of his favorite dinners.

August (thinking): I'll play it after dinner.

Gustopher: TACO SOUP! TACO SOUP!

Panel 3

Dinner is done but August is exhausted. He goes to bed and his two cats have quickly settled in for sleep. August thinks about his game but he just doesn't have the energy for it.

August (thinking): Too tired... I'll play it later.

Panel 4

August is woken up by his to cats touching his face and meowing for food. He'd like to play his new game, but there's things that have to be done and he has to get to work.

August: I'll play it after work... Eventually.

Nougat: Maw (possibly meaning "Excuse me good sir, but I find myself in a most peckish state and it be pleasing if you could find it fit to fill my dining bowl with your most delicious of food morsels. I apologize for waking you in this most undignified manner but it is imperative that I dine soon I fear that I might perish from this foul hunger.")

Mewbert: Mew (possibly meaning "FEED ME! NOW!")

They are lowering the price of the appetite suppressant drugs so that people won't even be hungry. Cost of groceries, solved!
