Phil improved this one significantly in terms of both dialect and dynamics, but the thrust of it remains the same: Goblaurence is about to learn the downside of being trusted to be the genius he is. And you can see him starting to figure it out just by the act of stating why this is supposedly an insoluble problem.

I mean, really, it’s just a variation on an idea he already mentioned to Harky, he’s done a lot of the hard thinking about this already…

Love the “toolbox contents” question marks over his head in panel 4, too.
