New comics posted whenever they get posted on the site, and old comics posted every day until we catch up in a decade or so
Not if they're citing Duke Nukem, which is probably more well known for the phrase at this point than They Live.
I admit I had to look it up, but Duke Nukem, in a horrible misquote/steal said: "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum." So not only did he get the order of actions wrong, but messed with the opening as well :D
Also I thought Duke Nukem never released!!
The quote is from Duke Nukem 3D. The very very delayed game was Duke Nukem Forever.
I'll choose to ignore your ignorance of the cultural icon that is Duke Nukem.
However, I submit the KnowYourMeme page as evidence that the cited version is well known at this point in our history: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-here-to-kick-ass-and-chew-bubblegum
as per your link:
Origin While many believe the quote originated from the video game Duke Nukem 3D, it actually comes from the 1988 movie
so I guess you'll supply more evidence.
[or] what are you waiting for? Christmas?
I know and never debated the origin of the phrase. I was providing evidence that the order used in the comic is well known itself and not a misquote as indicated by your initial comment.
