[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
Nils, you remember that
program you were going to
write to run the dishwasher?
[Nils]
Er, yes, sort of...
[Elizabeth]
You mean you haven't
started yet. Good.
[Nils]
I was going to get round to it.
[Elizabeth]
Could you shelve it for a while?
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
This has to be the first time
someone has asked me to hold off on
some programming. Usually they want
me to have done it last week.
[Elizabeth]
It's just that I'm not sure
we can evict those mice.
There seems to be some question
about whether the dishwasher
is furnished or not.
[Nils]
Argh!
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
More seriously, I don't
think it's a good idea
to use the thing anyhow.
Maybe we should
just get rid of it.
[Nils]
And why should we not
use our own dishwasher?
[Elizabeth]
A long time ago my parents had a
washing machine that got mice.
[Nils]
So?
[Elizabeth]
They managed to make
it run backwards.
[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
First it span, then it emptied
itself, then it filled with cold...
[Nils]
I think I see where this is going.
[Elizabeth]
Yes. When Ma opened it,
the kitchen was suddenly
full of hot soapy water.
[Nils]
Oh.
OK.
We'll just have the most
expensive mouse-palace in the
ENTIRE WORLD, then, I suppose.
