The father is talking to his teenage son (the protagonist of the comic strip) about his college days. He mentioned he owned the biggest speakers in the dorm room. The son looked at him with a straight face and casually mentions, "I feel so sorry for you." The son walks off. The father thinks for a second and responds, "Bigger was better then!"
