This comic spoofs the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/quotes iconic quote] from the 1988 action movie ''{{w|They Live}}'', where the armed protagonist, upon entering a bank, states that "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum." This implies that the protagonist will soon fight the people in the bank, as he cannot do the other objective he came there for (chewing bubble gum). This phrase has been quoted and modified often enough that it's often mistakenly attributed to other sources. | This comic spoofs the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/quotes iconic quote] from the 1988 action movie ''{{w|They Live}}'', where the armed protagonist, upon entering a bank, states that "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."

In the comic, [[Beret Guy]] stands in an open doorway with a strong light behind him, a typical pose in action movies when someone is dramatically entering a room. However, in this instance, Beret Guy claims that he is here to "chew bubble gum and make friends". He then offers a stick of gum to both [[Megan]] and [[Cueball]], making it clear he intends to do both of his stated objectives. This is expected from Beret Guy, who is usually both naïve about the world and beings that surround him, and also friendly to them. | In the comic, [[Beret Guy]] stands in an open doorway with a strong light behind him, a typical pose in action movies when someone is dramatically entering a room.
