Remember how we have a comic within the comic? That’s still true. Well, Greg is referring to that comic, and not the reality in which he exists. That would just be weird.

Achieving those goals is really unnecessary, if you ask me. That’s why New Year’s resolutions are so perfect: the whole world sets some goals, and everyone knows we’re all going to give them up in a matter of weeks, or even days. It’s truly beautiful.
