President Czar’s first line is a pun about a colon. Mr.Mittens’ third line is a play off of Apple’s “There’s an app for that†advertising campaign. Obviously Kant and Locke: Dead Men and God of Grammar are plays on real video games, Kane and Lynch and God of War respectively. Now you have a small idea of the weird logic that goes into one of our strips.
