I WAS JUST IN PERU AND I SAW ALL THESE PARADES THEY HAD AS PART OF RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS.
WHY HAVE A PARADE?
BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE COMMEMORATING MEANS A LOT TO THEM. WOULDN'T YOU HAVE A PARADE FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS THAT SPECIAL TO YOU?
GOD BLESS BEER
I JUST THOUGHT OF A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY.
I'M GUESSING YOU DIDN'T.

A PLEA FOR TOGETHERNESS

THIS COULD BE A LONG GAME.

HEY, STEPH. I HEARD A RUMOR THAT YOU'RE SORT OF AN EXPERT ON THE TAPIR AND THAT YOU DO A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ANIMAL IN SOUTH AMERICA.
WELL, I USED TO. BUT MY PASSION FOR THE ANIMAL ISN'T QUITE THE SAME THESE DAYS.
IT'S STARTED TO DECLINE?
TAPIR OFF.
I TAPERED HIM OFF.

“Let’s tear all our clothes off,” yelled Anna.
“Yes!” answered Bob...
“Because all of our clothing has been exposed to bubonic plague.”
THAT'S WHERE I THINK IT LOSES SOMETHING.

SORRY, PIG. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD MEANS?
YES.
YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME.
NO.
TRUE. I NEVER WIN ANYTHING.

HELLO, SIR. I NOTICE YOU DON'T HAVE THE CROWN TODAY.

BAD IDEA, SIR.
BLESS YOU. MY IDIOT STAFFER.

HELLO, SIR. YOU LOOK DIFFERENT TODAY.
YES. WELL, I FIGURED IF I'M GONNA BE KING OF THIS COUNTRY, I MIGHT AS WELL LOOK THE PART.
YOU'RE A PRESIDENT, NOT A KING.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAN'T CHOP OFF HEADS.
THIS WILL BE A LONG FOUR YEARS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GOAT?
MY NEPHEW HERE IS INTERESTED IN HOW TO IMPROVE HIS COMMUNITY THROUGH BETTER LAWS.

SO I'M READING THIS GREAT PHYSICS BOOK ON DARK MATTER. IT COMPRISES 85% OF ALL THE MASS IN THE UNIVERSE, BUT WE CAN'T SEE IT.
I BELIEVE IT.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
BECAUSE WHEN I GET WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I'M ALWAYS STUBBING MY TOE ON SOMETHING.
MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T DISCUSS SCIENCE.
HAVE SCIENTISTS TRIED TURNING ON THE LIGHTS?

DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD LET PEOPLE RUN AROUND NAKED?
NO. IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE.

OH, YEAH? I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY DO YOU KEEP GETTING ON THE INTERCOM TO TELL ME ABOUT THE ALTITUDE AND WIND DIRECTION AND OTHER THINGS THAT ONLY YOU CARE ABOUT?
BECAUSE I LOVE THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE!!
WELL, NOW WE KNOW.
IT'S ALL I CAN DO TO NOT SING KARAOKE.

EVERY TIME I READ TWITTER I'M AFRAID THERE'S GONNA BE A NUCLEAR WAR AND EVERYTHING ON EARTH IS GONNA BE DESTROYED.

DO YOU EVER GET DEPRESSED WHEN YOU HAVE A BIRTHDAY
NO. I'M ALWAYS UPBEAT ABOUT TURNING A YEAR OLDER.
WHY IS THAT
BECAUSE IF I'M EVER SENTENCED TO LIFE FOR MURDER, IT'S ONE LESS YEAR I HAVE TO SPEND IN PRISON.
HOW UPLIFTING.
I SHOULD REALLY WRITE GREETING CARDS.

GOALS FOR THE WEEK
Accomplish 3 times as much as last week.
Last week: Did nothing.
3 x nothing = nothing

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
SOME HAVE FAITH THAT THEY DO…BUT NO ONE KNOWS.

SO WE CLING TO MONEY FOR COMFORT. AND WE CHASE AWARDS FOR IMMORTALITY. AND WE HIDE IN THE ROUTINE OF OUR DAYS.
BUT THEY END. THE

HE'S CRYING IN THE BATHROOM.
PERSPECTIVE IS CRUEL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
ORGANIZING GOAT'S BOOKS. HE WANTS HIS MEDICAL BOOKS FIRST, THEN HIS PHILOSOPHY BOOKS, LIKE HIS DESCARTES AND KANT.
WHAT ARE YOU CHEWING NOW, PIG?
IT'S CALLED THE HOARSE-CURING FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SCRATCHY THROATS.
BUT YOU'RE PUTTING DESCARTES BEFORE 'THE HOARSE.'
PLEASE STOP.
KANT.
