[Ponytail is at a computer.]
Ponytail: What’s with the All Your Base stuff? Didn’t that die like five years ago?
[Cueball enters the panel.]
Cueball: It was my first internet meme, and my favorite. Others tired of it, but I never did.
Cueball: So I wait.
[Cueball raises his fists.]
Cueball: Someday, decades from now, people will have forgotten. It will be fresh again.
Cueball: Retro.
Cueball: And when that day comes,

Ponytail: You need a hobby or something.
Cueball: What you say!!
Cueball: Wait, too soon.
