Cronus: You see it's a metaphor... ((I thought it would be funny considering that clip from tfios))

Cronus tells ya that it's a metaphor

It's a metaphor, you see. You place the killing thing between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.

John is holding the killing thing(Andrew Hussie) between his teeth but not giving it the power to do the killing.

john with andrew hussie in his teeth saying its a metaphor

john has got hussie in his mouth. its a metaphor

John puts the deadly webcomic writer in between his lips but does not let it kill him

It's a metaphor see. ( How is John not dead yet? )

John sticks dozens of cigarettes in his mouth, for the sake of a metaphor. Dave wonders how he's not dead yet.
