Square: No, you have failed.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: The only thing you ever got right was when I ordered you to kill your own pet and turn him into delicious soup. Of course, you didn&#x27;t even realize what you were doing, which is a monument to your complete incompetence and stupidity.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Then, once the truth got out, you cried like a pansy instead of taking it like a Square.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: But, I can&#x27;t take it like a square! I&#x27;m just a rectangle!&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: Then you need to try HARDER to be a square!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: BUT MY SIDES AREN&#x27;T EQUAL!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: And with that attitude they never WILL be!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: &#x3C;&#x3C;Sniff&#x3E;&#x3E; So I guess this means you&#x27;re gonna tell me to leave and get out of your face?&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: &#x3C;&#x3C;SIGH&#x3E;&#x3E; Disappointing.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: What do you mean?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: If you didn&#x27;t notice, we were on hiatus for nearly a month.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: Yeah, so?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: So with that long a break, I expected a really KICK ASS comic for the comeback! I mean, seriously. We waited THAT long for comic 208? What gives?!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: I thought it was fine.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: &#x22;Fine&#x22; isn&#x27;t enough! I&#x27;ll say it again: I EXPECTED more.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: Hmmmm...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: But doesn&#x27;t a lot of humor from gag-a-day comics come from the fact that the punchline breaks your expectations?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Well, yeah.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: So there! You EXPECTED a better comic, and your expectations were broken! Sounds like a good comic to me!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: WHAT?! You&#x27;re advocating for horrible comics!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: And why not? Maybe we need to so many horrible comics that the expectation becomes that our comic sucks! Then, we SMASH the expectations with really funny stuff like nobody&#x27;s every seen! YEAH! From now on, NO MORE PUNCHLINES!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: I can&#x27;t go through with it! Quick! GIVE ME A SETUP!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Too late.</description>

Rectangle: How could you?! You LIKED Fred!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: And yes, he WAS delicious, but an hour later I was blowing chunks like nobody?s business!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Triangle: A gripping tale!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: Cry! Weep!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: That reptilian bastard got me on the way up! This is where I spewed, so when Rectangle asked me to lead the service, I just put up a tombstone and called it a day.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: &#x3C;&#x3C;Sniff&#x3E;&#x3E; Waaaaah!&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Rectangle: CRY! WEEP!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: But let?s not forget, I only ATE the turtle. RECTANGLE killed him! I just tricked him into doing the dirty work because he?s such a gullible idiot!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: SOB!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Was he crying or did he just call me a Son-Of-a-Bitch?&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Circle: The turtle?s name was ?Fred??&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: Rectangle, I know this is hard, but please quiet down.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: Square said that you would be the happiest turtle in the world if I gave you a bath, so that?s what I did!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: That?s quite enough.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: I said that?s ENOUGH!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: Then he said you would be even HAPPIER if you weren?t carrying around your shell, so I took it off with the tools he gave me!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Did that happen? I don?t remember that happening.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: THEN he said you?d like your bath EVEN MORE if I seasoned it with two medium onions, ? tablespoon of cayenne pepper, 1 and ? teaspoons of salt, 5 tbs. of cubed butter, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbs. of tomato puree, 3 tbs. of Worcestershire sauce?&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: Right.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: And that?s the saddest thing, and boo hoo, and let?s get plastered and all that, but your turtle and I never got along, so I don?t have anything good to say about him.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: Awwwww! But you USED to like him!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Square: RIGHT! Let?s just ahhh, keep that between you and me.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Tell you what, I?ll lead the service, but you must agree NEVER to talk about your turtle again, starting NOW.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: &#x3C;&#x3C;Cry&#x3E;&#x3E; That would make my turtle very happy.&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Nevertheless, you have disobeyed a direct order from your superior and are thus a complete failure.&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Square and Circle.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: I see right through you, Circle. You say egocentrism is a dead end, but then you say you&#x27;re &#x22;proud&#x22; to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: The only reason you bother feeling sympathy for anyone else is because it makes you feel good about yourself! It&#x27;s not really about caring is it? It&#x27;s all about YOU.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: How could you POSSIBLY get on my case about this? You have the biggest ego of any shape I know!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Well, I&#x27;m awesome enough to warrant it.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: But the point is that while my ego is free of pretense, YOURS is predicated on false altruism. In the end, you don&#x27;t care about the world. You&#x27;re just a self-absorbed martyr who only cares about himself.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: And I suppose you think we would ALL be better off as egomaniacal bastard hedonists with no regard for the existence of anyone but ourselves.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: YES I DO.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Well, I would be better off, but I&#x27;m the only one who matters, right?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: Your logic is impeccable.</description>

Circle: That&#x2019;s a change.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Well I have nothing to fear, right? You&#x2019;re so INCOMPETENT at one-upsmanship that you couldn&#x27;t teach him jack-bubkus even if you tried! Sure you want to get him to turn on me, but seriously you&#x2019;re too big a softy to pull that off.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: HEY!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: In fact, you two should be spending more time together! You&#x2019;re both depressed and constantly on the verge of emotional breakdown. Just think of all the hijynks!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: What are you talking about! I&#x2019;m not depressed&#x2026;&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: Sure you are! You&#x2019;re on of those &#x201C;I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders&#x201D; types. All bothered by &#x201C;social injustice&#x201D; and crap like that.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: It&#x2019;s not crap!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Square: See! That&#x2019;s what I&#x2019;m talking about! A chimp could be falling out of a tree in Zimbabwe right now and you&#x2019;d gouge your eyes out in horrendous fit of &#x201C;I should probably be caring about this.&#x201D;&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: I DO care!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: It&#x2019;s the responsibility of ALL of us to sympathize with those who suffer. Sympathy is how we connect, and furthermore, the ONLY way we as shapes can truly move forward in this horrible world. Egocentrism is a dead end! So yes, I am PROUD that the weight of the world is ON MY SHOULDERS!&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Circle: Don&#x27;t be so hard on yourself! We&#x27;ll start with the basics. On my mark, you say &#x22;I hate you,&#x22; and I&#x27;ll say &#x22;Bring it.&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Rectangle: You say you hate me, and I say &#x22;Bring it?&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;
