I want to laugh. I really do. But... this gag was done better in Space Balls, its done better in a more active medium, I'm at a loss as to why Ozy didn't order at the same time Llewelyn did, and I sincerely think the funniest thin about the panel is Ozy's completely nonplussed expression as he stares at the charred remains of the waiter.

The sign in the background says "gorge thyself" because I was unable to remember the slogan I wanted to use. It's one from a sign in a restaurant south of Tacoma, Washington, called Galloping Gertie's, that says "Lord, what fools these morsels be." So wonderfully corny. But I couldn't think of it at the time, so I improvised.

Also, the concept of someone who can breathe fire out of his mouth finding anything too spicy doesn't really work.

Maybe he can dish it out but can't take it.
