Ravage suggests he gets an anti-virus, while Beastbox is quick to point out he's a gorilla.

Notes
Transformers references
- Shanix is a form of currency introduced in the Marvel UK The Transformers comics.
- Fuel pumps are a generic piece of Cybertronian anatomy, the equivalent of a heart. "Conjunx", more fully Conjunx Endura, is the Cybertronian term for "married couple" and comes from the IDW series More than Meets the Eye.
- Nebulans are the aliens that were the various partners of the various "-master" subgroups of the 1987 and 1988 years of the original toyline, including Headmasters, Targetmasters, and Powermasters.
Real-world references
- Squawktalk and Beastbox are colored so that when they combine into Squawkbox, they would be colored as Birdman, main character of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, opposing Slamdance's coloring as Reducto from the same show.
- Various scams are referred to in this strip, including generic ads about money and dating websites, the "Nigerian prince" e-mail scam, and the "punch the monkey" ads, which promised a free X-Box or a similar product if one were to play a simplistic flash game (spoilers: it's a lie).
