#1103: Nine explain

[Cueball stands at a microwave, which hangs on the wall above the stove.]

Cueball: How long do you zap these?

Character off-frame: Two minutes.

Cueball: Thanks!

[Buttons being pushed.]

*Beep* 1

*Beep* 5

*Beep* 9

Cueball: It’s ok, nine.

Cueball: You are not forgotten.

[Caption below the frame:]

Ever since I heard the simile “As neglected as the nine button on the microwave.” I’ve found myself adjusting cook times.
