The strip you see before you came out of a very funny situation that, had we done a comic using a straightforward presentation of the facts as they were, might have hurt someone's feelings.
But, screw it: the situation was that I was working at home in my office, and the husband of a woman visiting my wife came upstairs to hang out. And it was exactly that situation where when you're a little kid, visiting parents will send their child to go play with you in your room and you just kind of try to keep that kid out of your toys and there comes that inevitable moment when you realize that your parents totally screwed you over.
Except this situation was different because the guy was actually very nice and my toys are not the easily breakable kind -- but it still took me back to being seven years old and wondering if you should show the visiting kid your Star Wars Snow Speeder with the tow cable that always came off and got lost.
Anything But Mini-Me obviously has a rich history in the Space Monkeys! universe, from his initial introduction, to the anxiety he's caused for poor parent Meany, to his reign of terror within the educational system.
There should definitely be a sign, perhaps in bright letters that warns people away from the gaping child's maw.
