I WANT TO QUIT THIS NEW JOB I JUST TOOK AND TELL EVERYONE TO SHOVE IT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CAREER, YOU SHOULD NEVER BURN YOUR BRIDGES.
I BLEW UP MINE LIKE IT'S THE END OF 'BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI'.
NO ONE WILL GET THAT REFERENCE.
GOOGLE IT, BABY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING PIG?
I'VE BEEN WRITING DOWN ALL MY LIFE'S GOALS. IT HAS REALLY HELPED ME TO ACHIEVE THEM.

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.

IT'S NOT PRETTY WHEN TWO SUPERIOR RACES MEET.
I PUNCH THEE FOR WEARING SPANDEX!

BECAUSE CYCLISTS FEEL SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE. THERE'S NO OTHER GROUP LIKE THEM.
BEHOLD, YOU MEAT-EATING SCUM! I AM VICTOR THE VEGAN!

HE'S WRONG, ISN'T HE, SATIC?
YES, YOU'RE DOOMED TO BE LONELY BECAUSE OF YOUR PERSONALITY.

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

MY FORMER WIFE KEEPS TRYING TO OVERNIGHT SHIP ME MY OLD RECORDS, BUT EVERY TIME SHE DOES, I LOSE AN ALBUM.
