![]() The COVID-19 vaccine is being provided free of charge to Cueball, so taking his money is entirely unnecessary (and possibly illegal). This meme, like the first, expresses extreme and immediate desire for something, with the implication that the speaker is not only willing but eager to pay whatever it costs, and is too excited to wait for a sales pitch or for any warnings or disclaimers. The title text references another such meme, "Shut up and take my money," which derives from the 2010 " Attack of the Killer App" episode of Futurama. The medical staff delivering the vaccine have apparently heard this or similar lines frequently, and appear to take it literally, repeatedly explaining that it's not actually possible. When Cueball applies the meme to the COVID-19 vaccine, it causes some confusion, because the vaccine is delivered by injection, but not directly into a vein. The meme is typically applied to things that are not injected at all (such as a form of media or entertainment) to express exaggerated enthusiasm. "Inject this directly into my veins" is a meme based on a line (from The Simpsons): in the episode " A Star Is Burns", an alcoholic character wins a lifetime supply of beer, and replies "just hook it to my veins". This comic shows Cueball clearly thrilled to receive the vaccine. Even for those who have been spared infection, measures to slow the spread of the virus have been highly impactful, and have been ongoing for nearly a year.Īs a consequence of all of this, many people (including, presumably, Randall) are excited for the vaccine, which will hopefully end the pandemic. ![]() As of the publication of this strip, it is estimated to have caused over 1.5 million deaths worldwide, with over 300,000 deaths in the United States, and many more serious cases, often with lasting impacts. The COVID-19 Pandemic has been one of the most consequential and broadly unpleasant events in living memory. Two of the next four comics also contain references to the vaccine, 2404: First Thing and 2406: Viral Vector Immunity, and the first of these, like this one, additionally references a common Internet trend. This comic is another in a series of comics related to the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() Title text: "Okay, for the last time, the shot is free, so we can't-" "Shut up and take my money!" ![]()
