Lexicon.
About a week before Bloom County went on a substantial sub-plot about Bill the Cat being a Russian spy, there was this glorious 3-day sequence. It has even been quoted in academic papers.
โForeshadowingโ โ Your clue to quality literature.
Here, have a link to the very first Bloom County strip, December 8, 1980. Then, you can read through the whole thing. If you want.

Lexicon. Used in many situations where cleaning down to the floor, or clearing a desktop, as appropriate. Originally from Doonesbury, obviously.

Lexicon. From Frank Millerโs The Dark Knight Returns. Sometimes reworked as, โCโmon, Clark. You wonโt be late. You hate being late.โ Clearly a case of bad memory, since the original is really commenting on Clarkโs sleeping habits. (Just for search index: Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Superman, Batman)
