It looks like Pat's writing on a different sheet of paper, though. His is narrower -- there's not room for the "$8" underneath.

the closest any living man will ever get to being a sultan in today's society is a pretty girl who, in about twenty minutes, will arrive home from school...
with a bag full of subs for me to consume.

I compressed the last panel into a very successful MSN avatar for a while, but I got awfully tired of explaining it to people and then they didn't have sex with me or anything .

How did you go about that? There are so many Achewood quotes and images that I wish I could make small enough to keep with me at all times.
Metaphorically speaking.

I just hit printscreen while that panel was in my screen, then opened MS paint and hit "paste" on a blank document, then cut out that panel with cut and pasted it into yet another new document, and then went about trimming it down to just the dialogue and kept resizing and shrinking and shifting it around until I had a nice, legible square.
It sounds like a hassle but if you try this it'll take you maybe six minutes at most once you get the hang of it.
