Commander Keen comic 41

You know, sometimes I wonder if Mortimer really wants to destroy the universe. That's not a very effective evil plan, after all, and he's definitely smart enough to realize that. But by claiming that he wants to do that anyway, he gets to yank Billy's chain constantly and drag him all around outer space on a wild goose chase. I think a bully like him would get more satisfaction from that as opposed to actually nuking all of existence.
