CYCLISTS ARE ALWAYS SO ANGRY ABOUT
PEOPLE WHO DRIVE CARS IRRESPONSIBLY.

EVERYONE EQUALLY?

PEOPLE WERE
EQUAL.

NOT.

SEEN THE "PYRAMID OF
HUMANITY."

I FEEL SO
SCUM-LIKE
FOR NOT
KNOWING.

IT'S OKAY.
MY PEOPLE EXPECT
VERY LITTLE OF
YOU.

REGARDING THE "PEARLS" MOVIE WE'RE MAKING, THE RAT HAS SOME DEMANDS... DEMAND NUMBER ONE: BEFORE EACH DAY'S SHOOT, YE SHALL KISS MY FEET AND CALL ME "GOLDEN ONE."
WE ARE NOT MAKING A MOVIE.
DEMAND NUMBER TWO: YE SHALL CEASE HAVING AN UGLY FACE.
I SEE YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH THAT ONE.

I'M TURNING "PEARLS BEFORE SWINE" INTO A MOVIE. HERE'S THE SCRIPT.
'RAT KICKS PIG.'

I'M BIG ON REHEARSALS.

I WOULD LIKE TO TURN OUR COMIC INTO A FULL-LENGTH FEATURE MOVE. HERE'S MY SCRIPT.

YES. THAT'S THE PLOT.
YOU GIVING PIG A KICK IS THE ENTIRE PLOT FOR A TWO-HOUR MOVIE?
NO, YOU IDIOT. I DO IT REPEATEDLY.
GET OUT BEFORE I KICK YOU REPEATEDLY.
