The ‘Must… resist…’ monologue is a staple in comics. You know the kind of thing:
“Must… resist… urge… to kill…”
“Polka-dot Kryptonite! Must… resist… it’s… RAYS…”
” Must… resist… delicious… doughnuts!”
It works well in context in comics, even if it is so hackneyed that it has developed into its own internet meme. However, try saying those words out loud and make it sound believable. It can’t be done.
Must… resist… saying… words… out… LOUD…
It bears repeating: Great facial expressions of both cats – love it! Good job, Mr. Pilcher!
