George's arc

The very first story arc for The Petri Dish was about a man named George who wanted to be cloned. Its first strip was the first in the entire webcomic.

Plot
Its first strip opens on Thaddeus Euphemism answering the phone at Clones 'R' Us.

A man named George answers and says that he would like to be cloned. Thaddeus asks George to tell him about himself and George is lost for words.

In the next strip, Thaddeus points out that cloning is controversial and illegal in most places and asks George why he wants to be cloned. George reveals that he wants to be cloned so that he'll have "spare parts" in case he gets sick. Thaddeus then asks George what he does for a living and George reveals that he's a lawyer for an international bank. Thaddeus says that there is already "too many of those" and recommends euthenasia, but George points out that euthenasia is also illegal.

The third and final strip has Thaddeus suggesting he make George into a cyborg like Bob, but Bob himself is snide about the idea of an immortal lawyer and both of them snicker, to George's frustration.

Trivia

 * George mentions a movie called The Island, which is an actual movie in real life.
