Redcloak: You can't go out there!
MitD: Has your brain leaked out your pointy ears? Our team got its ass totally kicked!

MitD: Lord Xykon? You're alive?

- Panel 8
Xykon: Hey, this one got away from us, sure. But you don't send in your star relief pitcher when you're losing 12-0 in the 9th inning.

Demon-Roach #1: Yeah! Let's bug out
Demon-Roach #2: Heh... "bug".

MitD: Are you sure I can't just eat one of the short ones? I'm so hungry!

- Panel 12
MitD: Ooooh! Will it have a toy surprise?
Xykon: No, but it will have real kids.
Demon-Roach #2: Tasty!
