== Fun Facts ==
* Mad Grinder originally was a miniboss fought in the introductory level of Mega Man 7. Dave used him because of his intimidating size.
* This is one of the first archived comics to have been effected by the 'Temporal Burp' effect, where the entire comic was blurred beyond recognition and renamed "Zo Bilch Chlips - Vogaxamaxan Whorps Eut, Paxalt DiI".
