Future Imperfect:
Spoiler
Because this comic, in hindsight, is a little confusing, here's an explanation:
SpoilerA pair of plotgoblins (one with a shirt mocking Plotus)make small-talk about the boredom of their job. Being Plotgoblins, they recognize the trope (guards expressing boredom right before...becoming less bored)and prepare to fight.
Feedback very much appreciated.
