Yep, that there be a Matrix reference in the good ol' third panel. Mainly I was thinking that Thom's outfit made him look a lot like Agent Smith, only feline, so I cracked under the pressure, and added that line.
"Mild colds to the Plutocratic Elitists" is just one of my many controversial left wing comments that I constantly attack people with.
Thom is referencing Ani and Jason's botched attempt to take over the comic. Also I find the fact that he stuck tracking devices in their heads funny. Whee!
