FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "A Mere Quadrillion" published September 16, 2018 - Jason says: Marcus and I are selling stock certificates for our new company. Wanna buy one? Roger says: What new company?

And when that happens, believe me, you'll be glad you picked up one of these sweet babies for a dollar! Roger says: So what exactly will your company do? What's your business plan? Jason says: HELLOOO?? Roger says: Your business plan is to sell stock certificates? Jason says: A mere quadrillion and we're there! Marcus says: The printer's out of ink again.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Tank You Very Much" published June 3, 2018 - Jason: It'll be a 50 foot wide cylinder, holding nearly 3 million gallons of seawater. The walls will be constructed using four-inch-thick clear acrylic, offering 360-degrees of viewing. Filtration, lighting and temperature controls will all be state-of-the-art, naturally. My plan is to start with Makos and Hammerheads, then once any kinks are ironed out, I'll add the great whites. I'm looking for $5 million in funding in exchange for a 30-percent equity stake. Peter: You seriously want to go on "Shark Tank" to get money for a shark tank?? Jason: Worth a shot.

What's the barometric pressure? Do the flames from the Balrog create an sort of updraft? What's the humidity? Does the air feel damp or dry? Any particulate matter? Dust? Mold? Pollen? What's the acceleration due to gravity on this world? 9.8 m/s²? What about the coriolis forces? I assume this planet rotates. Jason says: ...And the Balrog dies of old age. Marcus says: Woohoo! Any good loot?
