I should get SOMEthing. | Get free comic emails: patreon.com/portermason/...

MEL: If I listen to your problems, what do I get in return? PETER: Nothing, Mel! But it'll HELP me, and I'm your FRIEND. | MEL: How about you throw in ten bucks? PETER: This isn't a NEGOTIATION, Mel! MEL: Fine! FINE. (sigh)... Tell me your thing. | PETER: So, Peter gets coffee without me and did I stop drinking caffeine during my cleanse? Yes. But I want to be ASKED. So I confront Peter, and I'm like, "I want to be ASKED." And he's like, "Of COURSE." But I don't think he MEANT it. And I think he THINKS I think he didn't mean it. On top of all of that, Starbucks is TOTALLY anti-union, you know? | MEL: $7.50. Final offer.
