An Achewood webcomic by Chris Onstad, drawn in b&w, shows Ray, the cat, being awoken inside a large costume of himself by a call from Teodor, the teddy bear. Ray answers with "What? What the HELL? DAMN you!" Teodor: "Ray? I thought you'd be up watching the news!" Ray: "Teodor it is the morning after Halloween. That is not when I watch the news. Did you know that"

From a comics series whose name I don't recall: an ink drawing of a large hairless cat with big pointy ears and its mouth open, with its fangs showing, colored mostly in greens and blues; a speech bubble floats up and to the left from the cat's mouth: the cat is saying "LYING"

A Very Serious Young Woman, circa 1984. I was probably thinking about something I'd read in the Village Voice, or the Replacements

Lucy: "YOU STUPID DARKNESS!"

I'm not sure this is wrong
The goals are transformation to techno-feudalism run by fascists using AI, and elimination of much of the human population. People are saying "this doesn't make sense," but that's in the context of thinking good things will happen with good intentions, and the intentions are not good, and the things that are planned to happen are very bad for much of the population, and that's on purpose.
