By the second panel he's already cleverly amended the first statement by revealing one of his Bargains with Fate, "I will only lie in the service of Truth." This typically sly-humored, blink-and-you'll-miss-it juxtaposition makes Campbell's work one of the subtlest pleasures...
...doubt, like sushi. The cats, fat as pashas, having yet to shed the opulent fur they acquired in the long cold winter, sit motionless, an hour at a time, under the maple, hoping to pounce on a careless songbird.

Lie-management is intricate work, as every philanderer knows. But my friend domesticated the danger, so to speak. He possessed an eerie serenity, and the twinkle of a man with a secret. He saw the same movies twice. He had to remember which movies he had seen with which woman. I wonder...
