_“Hello, Marv? The producers and I talked about the frames you sent me and, I must be honest with you, they’re not happy at all. Yes, I’m looking at it right now. They said a two-year-old could draw something more terrifying than that. No, you listen to me, Marv. Get your shit together and come up with real scary stuff, or I’m out. What do you mean what’s wrong with your frame? It’s innocuous, that’s what it is. It’s so peaceful it’s funny, don’t you get it? If there were dinosaurs coming out of every wall, all of them equipped with mega-Transformers gear, and they were unleashed by an army of freakishly grotesque, voracious aliens, maybe we could start talking business…”_
