From the pages of “The Butcher” No. 4 (©1990, Mike Baron and Shea Anton Pensa), we learn that all characters in comic books must scream all dialog at each other, whether that be while flying a plane …

… while calmly discussing what the situation does or does not call for …

… while asking a polite question after getting your jaw accidentally unhinged …

… while getting so frustrated watching two pilots shout everyday dialog at each other that your eyes explode into lightning bolts (I’m speaking from personal experience here) …

… while either piloting or co-piloting with your eyes closed and sitting in a chair made of squared-off cement …

… while getting groped by a stranger when you’re a grandmother and poking him back with a Finger of Outrage …

… while whispering for the love of Pete …

… or just while using incredibly exaggerated gestures to show some doofus what this mysterious thing called a “bow” is.

I’m pretty sure I know now why he’s The Butcher — that’s the only way he could come up with to shut everyone the hell up and get some sleep.
