(Setting: An office at the Fairmount City branch of Evil Inc. Catnip, a blonde woman in a tight blue catsuit and visor, storms into the room angrily. Iron Dragon, a man in a purple and black villain costume, sits at a desk looking confused.)

Catnip: "MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE?! Since when do we have a MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE?!"

Iron Dragon: "What are you talking about?"

(Catnip gestures as she explains.)

Catnip: "You know that Evil Mime that Captain Heroic thwarted downtown last week? He was my client."

Panel 3:

Catnip: "He says our branch now offers your money back if our products or services fail!"
