Don’t know what ants do for a living, but they manage to show up at picnics every time.

You want an allowance, you need to work for it. TANSTAAFL.

He’s going to be living in his parent’s basement until he’s 30 (in ant years)

Never got an allowance- – always did chores.

Next panel: “We provide you a place to live, and now you want an allowance, too? Nothing’s ever enough for you, is it?”

The answer to both his questions is, “Nope”.
