This one has got me scratching my head. Can anybody tell me:(1) Is the joke a reference to the 2012 Olympics losing money?(2) Does “that thing” refer to the torch or the cauldron?(3) Since both are about to be burned up, why would anyone need to “be careful” with them?(4) The guy behind the rock in panel 1 appears to be a media commentator. So why does the runner hand him the torch?
