Labor policy

"But, Mr. inspector... I have five hundred employees! If I have to give every one of them a paycheck, I'll go out of business and they'll all be jobless! Is that what the state wants? Generate unemployment?"

EXTRA: The birth of a flea

Considering the fleamaker is on vacation, nothing stops him from doing some more work and offering a little extra content. For example, how a flea is made.

eBook

"The new eLiterate 3000 can store half a million books and emits aroma of paper for the nostalgic. Now we can let trees grow and oxygenate the environment!"

"Bravo!"

"Excellent!"

"You mean this plantation is no longer necessary?""

"Right. The estate has already been bought to build a car factory on it."

Innovation

"Yes, I know. Codices are very practical and modern. But nothing will ever replace the experience of unrolling a real book and feeling the parchment slide under your finger as you uncover its secrets..."

Syllogism

"Humans are rational beings, I am human. Therefore, I am a rational being."

"Birds can fly. I am a bird. Therefore, I can fly."

Deluge

"But— Lord! You promised—"

"Don't you listen to what you yourself preach? Doesn't your faith hold that I am all-powerful and above logic? When, in that case, I can destroy the Earth with water whenever I feel like it without ever breaking my word of not doing it again! You of little faith."

Suicide

I wonder how many dead people are seeing this cartoon.

"This person overdosed intentionally on homeopathic medicine."

"How did that happen?"

"He ingested 18 pounds of Magnesia Phosphorica 30C and got stomach damage."

"Poor man."

Divine inspiration

"Are you taking notes? You will have to write a book for the others to learn about this all too."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Interventionism

"We demand that the government stop interfering with our commercial activities, which create thousands of jobs! They should instead devote their efforts to isolate malaria patients in order to protect our children from this frightful disease that keeps spreading unchecked!"

"That's right!"

"Bravo!"

"Well said!"
