Text transcript
[[ Rabot, Rabid, and Rabish are all in their comfort zones. ]] Rabot: My dealer owns the villa -- lets me stay when he's not using it. I'm not THAT successful! Rabid: Self-taught programmer, self-employed... debt free and doing really well! Rabish: I scrape by... done enough work to have some name recognition, so I can draw full-time now. Noel: What's so interesting about the class of '02? Don't you do stories about science stuff? Why go to an art school? Li'l Beefy: Most of my stories come from buried research -- failed or suppressed studies... funding misuse... Li'l Beefy: Everybody eats synth now, but your fully subsidized meal plan -- for that whole class! -- made headlines!
