Recordicons issue 16

Laserbeak gets mad about people misspelling his name. Again.

Synopsis

At Maccadam's Old Oil House, Laserbeak receives his tab from the bartender. Looking it over, he notices she spelt his name with a Z instead of an S, causing Buzzsaw to sigh to himself. Annoyed, Laserbeak proceeds to rant, explaining that "LASER" is an acronym, and that putting a Z in makes you look like a loser. Finished, Laserbeak turns to his left to find an upset Lazorbeak staring at him.
