The Aristocrat is smarter than he acts.

It's good that Burk will finally (probably) remember the aristocrat and will be wary of him. Because surely they'll interact in the future.

That last panel has so much wisdom.

I wonder if Burk got his bag back?

Burk can rip his clothes by flexing? Is that what keeps happening to his pants?

except there is one category of person where its okay to punch that person even if that person is not a villain : the rival!

Poor Burk, having to dine with a common bag thief.

I really start to like the Aristocrat. ^^

burk is only decent when pantsless

So, self-absorbed, prone to fights of fancy (although perhaps not delusional), overambitious, a vicious opportunist to the level of extortion, and arguably effective if he has sufficient help.

The worst part about it is that Neorice is probably right that this is the hero we deserve. We need to do better, people. (Or is it beter now?)

@ Saiko: Burk doesn't do "wary". He does "Punching" and "not Punching". And is upset that The Aristocrat is currently in a position where he's under the "not Punching" category.

@ "What comes next?" check: 4 doesn't work! But it follows the order. 1 doubles to 2 which doubles to 4! Not sure how 5 is supposed to work, though.

Burk must punch a lot of mirrors.
