The key to correcting grammar is to be correct in your grammar, capitalizing, punctuation, et cetera. Further, being too thick to understand what’s being “said”, and why, added a second layer of difficulty for you.
I don’t see it as the fish is killing the interns. I think Frank is killing the interns to try and figure out how the fish is doing something else.
IE the fish has figured out how to move a human brain into the body of a mouse and written the steps on the board. Frank is having issues attempting to recreate the act.
I’d be pretty pissed off if I spent my life in a clear round bowl, too.
That fish could be sad for the same reason Claus from “American Dad” is sad
Claus: “Your sick, I’m going to mien crapper!”
*Turns Around*
Claus: “I’m always in mien crapper…” :(
any intern now? isnt it any minute now? the sentence doesnt make sense to me otherwise.
the joke
your head
I hate when people use this wrong.
“Any intern now” – Frank keeps sending interns to the slaughter so he can figure out how Goldie does it.
So he means “[You seem to kill] every intern/any intern I get. Now I am going to figure out how you do that”
Think of it more like “Any second now I’m going to figure out how you do this” … or “any minute now”, etc. Only his measurement of time is interns.
:)
Yes, this.
1 Intern = 1 Attempt/try/iteration
also, “How you did this” not “how you do this”
“Any intern now…” Implying the fish has killed several interns before.
“How you do this.” Ongoing phenomenon. Not just a singular case in the Past. But all future cases as well.
or maybe he’s talking to the fish as an equal and it’s something like
“how do you bake cakes”
“how do you even date girls”
or something
(because let’s be honest that fish cant possibly be “normal”)
Also funny because apparently interns are effectively units if time…
I wonder what the conversion ratio between interns and days is?
No, each intern is an attempt, like in a video game.
There is no issue of speed or time limits. The problem is figuring out how Goldie kills. Not a race.
Wow. That went right over my head. He’s deliberately killing interns to understand how the fish does it. Nice. Okay.

Any intern now, I’m going to figure out how you do this
OMG, it’s Cartman’s SPOOKY FISH!
I’m sorry if it’s a stupid question, but what is the fish doing? Is he killing interns? Is he killing them in a specific way? What is the fish doing?
He’s a fish. Frank hasn’t yet figured out how a fish, in a glass bowl, with no obvious means, is killing his interns.
The power to kill an intern from 200 yards away…
WITH MIND BULLETS !!
He’s gonna find out even if he has to send in every intern on earth
Well we’ve seen that a former lab assistant was missing arms, so if he runs out of interns, the assistants are next.
Yeah thats right… blame it on the fish… nobody will suspect that it could be someone else anyway…
Its surely not another intern that Frank killed and just blanked out (refering to the bear situation here)
By “this”, Frank means the diagram on the board of course.
You need to read the comment under the strip to get it ;)
We need to see that goldfish again.
Is it just me or did Frank just botch up a sentence?

This reminds me of a short story oi once wrote about a detective trying to solve a murder case and the culprit ended up being a murderous gold fish.
That was a tricky sentence to navigate.
