WHAT ARE YOU DOING PIG?
I'VE BEEN WRITING DOWN ALL MY LIFE'S GOALS. IT HAS REALLY HELPED ME TO ACHIEVE THEM.
GOOD FOR YOU, PIG. WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR?
Write list titled 'Goals'.
GOALS
IT'S BEEN SLOW PROGRESS SINCE.

LOOK, STEPH, I FOUND A COPY OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK. SAYS YOU WERE ON THE SPEECH TEAM, THE DEBATE TEAM, AND THE CROSS COUNTRY TEAM, WHICH RAISES AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
WHAT'S THAT?
HOW DID YOU FIGHT ALL THE GIRLS OFF?
I MADE CROSS COUNTRY COOL, DARN IT!
YOU LOOKED LIKE A BROOMSTICK WITH GLASSES.

I HAVE A LARGE BRAIN, AND IT'S BEEN CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN THAT THOSE WITH LARGER BRAINS ARE SMARTER THAN THOSE WITH SMALLER BRAINS.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YES, IT IS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE SOMETHING IS TRUE WHENEVER YOU SAY, "IT'S BEEN CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN."
THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS.
HEY, IN AN AGE WHERE NO ONE READS, IT'S HOW THAT WORKS.

HEY, VICTOR THE VEGAN.
HOW GOES IT?
I CONDEMN THEE FOR PUTTING HONEY ON YOUR TOAST.
HONEY IS AN ANIMAL PRODUCT AND YOU ARE SCUM.
SAID VICTOR WHILE SITTING ON A LEATHER DINER STOOL.
FORGIVE ME, GREAT COW IN THE SKY!
CAN HE SQUIRT SOME MILK IN MY COFFEE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GOAT?
READING ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY. I DO IT WHEN LIFE GETS A BIT OVERWHELMING AND I NEED ANSWERS.
I HAVE A PHILOSOPHY I TURN TO IN TIMES LIKE THAT, TOO.
OH, YEAH? WHICH ONE?
EAT GALLON OF ICE CREAM.
IT'S INTELLECTUALLY SOUND.

RAT'S PRESIDENTIAL PLATFORM
If elected President of the United States,
I, Rat, will buy 7,000,000,000 drones.
That is the number of people on earth.
Each drone will keep an eye on one person.
Monitoring everything that person does.
And listening in on every phone call.
And if that person does something displeasing, the drone will address the situation.
P.S. I will control all the drones.
I DON'T THINK I'LL VOTE FOR YOU.
YOUR DRONE WILL BE VERY AGGRESSIVE.
I'M EATING BREAKFAST, DRONE!

BOMBFAST CABLE
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
YEAH, I TRIED CALLING YOU MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY AND YOU WERE CLOSED EACH TIME. I THOUGHT YOUR TECH SUPPORT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY.
IT IS. AND THAT DAY IS THURSDAY. BWAAHAHAHAHAA
IS IT ME, OR IS THE CABLE COMPANY GETTING MORE EVIL?

OH NO. THE LITTLE KNOB ON MY WATCH BROKE.
WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO?
I MOVED IT TWO HOURS AHEAD WHEN I WENT TO TEXAS. NOW I'M BACK IN CALIFORNIA AND I NEED TO CHANGE THE TIME BACK.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? YOU DON'T WANT THE TIME ON YOUR WATCH TO BE WRONG.
GUESS I HAVE TO MOVE TO TEXAS.
THERE'S NO PROBLEM HE CAN'T SOLVE.

WHY DOES STEPHAN LIE IN THE SUN SO MUCH
BECAUSE HE USED TO BE A REPTILE.
I WAS A LAWYER.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE AGAIN?
REPTILES DON'T BILL HOURLY.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS HORSEMAN FROM SOUTHERN RUSSIA? I GUESS HE'S GOING AROUND RAMMING PEOPLE WITH HIS TAILBONE. HE'S KNOCKED OUT SIX PEOPLE.
WAIT... WHAT HAPPENED?
THIS COSSACK'S COCCYX CLOCKED SIX.

BEHOLD! I AM VICTOR THE VEGAN, JUDGING ALL THOSE WHO DARE TO USE ANIMAL PRODUCTS!
BEHOLD! I AM JEF THE CYCLIST, JUDGING ALL THOSE WHO ARE LAZY AND WEAK!
I CONDEMN THEE FOR HAVING A LEATHER SEAT ON THY BIKE!!
I CONDEMN THEE FOR BEING A SKINNY RUNT OF A MAN!!
IT'S NOT PRETTY WHEN TWO SUPERIOR RACES MEET.
I PUNCH THEE FOR WEARING SPANDEX!

WHY IS JEF THE CYCLIST SO ARROGANT?
BECAUSE CYCLISTS FEEL SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE. THERE'S NO OTHER GROUP LIKE THEM.
BEHOLD, YOU MEAT-EATING SCUM! I AM VICTOR THE VEGAN!
I TAKE THAT BACK.

HELLO, MR. RAT.. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE HERE TO INTERVIEW FOR AN OFFICE POSITION.
YES SIR.
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE ?
NOT VERY MUCH.
THEN HOW CAN I HELP YOU ?
WELL, I WAS HOPING TO GAIN THAT HERE IN THIS JOB.
WELL, I CAN'T GIVE YOU A JOB WITHOUT EXPERIENCE.
BUT I CAN'T GET EXPERIENCE WITHOUT A JOB.
THEN YOU CAN'T GET A JOB.
THEN I CAN'T GET EXPERIENCE!
OKAY OKAY... CALM DOWN.. I MAY HAVE AN OPENING IN THE MAILROOM.. WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE ?
SO I STRANGLED HIM WITH HIS TIE.

DOES YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER FORWARD YOU A LOT OF CHAIN E-MAIL?

MY COUSINS GETTING MARRIED IN HAWAII. SO IN ADDITION TO BUYING HER AN EXPENSIVE WEDDING GIFT, I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE FLIGHT AND HOTEL.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
I'M SENDING MY INVITATION BACK TO HER WITH "DECEASED" WRITTEN ON THE ENVELOPE.
IT'S A BIG MONEY-SAVER.

ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE SECOND TOE IS LONGER THAN YOUR BIG TOE?
YEAH. WHY?
BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE DOOMED TO A LIFE OF LONELINESS.
HE'S WRONG, ISN'T HE, SATIC?
YES, YOU'RE DOOMED TO BE LONELY BECAUSE OF YOUR PERSONALITY.

YOU HAVE AN HONEST FACE, PIG.
DON'T ALL ANIMALS HAVE HONEST FACES? IT'S NOT LIKE WE LOOK LIKE CRIMINALS OR BURGLARS OR SOMETHING.
POOR RACCOONS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, NEIGHBOR BOB?
MY FORMER WIFE KEEPS TRYING TO OVERNIGHT SHIP ME MY OLD RECORDS, BUT EVERY TIME SHE DOES, I LOSE AN ALBUM.
WHAT HAVE YOU LOST?
A BUNCH OF ALBUMS BY THE PUNK BAND X.
SOUNDS LIKE AN EX FEDEX X HEX.
PLEASE DON'T INVOLVE US IN YOUR STUPID JOKES.

REMEMBER THE OPENING OF THAT SONG "THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT"? YOU KNOW, WHERE IT GOES, "WEEEEE-EEE-E-E-EEE-EEE... A WEE UM UM UM AWAY"
OF COURSE. WHY?
BECAUSE THAT SONG WILL NOW BE STUCK IN YOUR HEAD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT.

DID SOMEONE DIE?
MY UNCLE LARRY.
IT HAS TO BE IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
HE WAS LIKE A FATHER TO ME.
WHO'S THAT?
YOU KNOW, THE GUY THAT SAID "I AM YOUR FATHER."
UNCLE LARRY WAS IN "STAR WARS"?
I THOUGHT HE WAS HARRY LARRY.
HE WENT BY HARRY LARRY.
AND UNCLE LARRY DIED?
AS DID MY MOTHER, BROTHER, SISTER, GRANDFATHER, AND GRANDMA.
THEY ALL DIED THIS WEEK?
IT WAS A BAD WEEK.
AND YET YOU'RE GOING TO VEGAS.
NOT IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
TO PAR-TAY.
IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO GET BEREAVEMENT FARES.

SOME WOMEN ARE SO HARD TO IMPRESS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RAT?
MEDITATION. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. NO MATTER HOW MANY HAPPY THINGS I TRY TO THINK ABOUT.

SHHH...NOW I'M WHACKING HIM WITH MY TRAY TABLE.

HEY, STACI, ARE YOU GOING TO YOUR COUSINS' HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING?
YES. AND BECAUSE WE ARE NOW SEPARATED, I'VE TEXTED THEM AND TOLD THEM YOU WON'T BE THERE.
