COMIC TRANSCRIPTION:

Susan: Gav! Negative operant conditioning doesn't work with gambling. If it did, people wouldn't gamble at all!
Gav: Really?

Susan: Yeah. Gambling falls under addictive behavior produced by a random reward system. There are experiments where rats press a bar to get food...
Gav: Standard...

Susan: See, when food comes out regularly, the rats feed themselves only when they are hungry. When food comes out randomly, they push that bar until their little paws fall off!

Gav: Wow! There's gotta be a way to make money off of that!
Susan: Think, Gav. Think hard!
