Commercials Are What Made This Country Great (well, not great...)

April 12, 1967
Oh, I don't want to hear about your trip to Hawaii. I don't know about other people but I rarely want to hear about your vacations. Unless you can cram the highlights into a few sentences or you did something that I actually find interesting, I'm not necessarily interested. Unless I specifically ask about your vacation, then you can just go to town because that's on me.

Gladys is standing right there. Brutus should make an excuse or something to just walk away.

I'm kind of surprised Brutus pays for the highest tier subscriptions that get rid of commercials altogether, because most streaming services have commercials.

I feel like this comic would work better in 2021(?) when streaming services were still hoping to make revenue from subscriptions alone and not using commercials.
