EXCUSE ME, BUT COULD YOU
DO ME A SOLID AND PASS
THE KETCHUP?
I'M SORRY, BUT DID
YOU JUST USE THE
EXPRESSION, 'DO ME A
SOLID'?
YEAH. WHY?
WHACK
THERE ARE
BETTER WAYS
TO HANDLE
EXPRESSIONS
YOU DON'T
LIKE.
NO

NOT.
WELL...YOU

GIVE
HIM A
SOLID.

THANKS FOR COMING TO CHURCH WITH ME, PIG… I KNOW IT'S A PAIN TO PUT ON A SUIT ON SUNDAY MORNINGS.
OH, I DON'T MIND, ZEBRA. IT'S NICE TO GO SOME PLACE WHERE EVERYONE STILL DRESSES UP.
THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE FOR A SHIRT, SHIRTLESS SEAN.
WITH THESE GUNS?... GOD WILL FORGIVE ME.

HEY RAT, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY NEW FRIEND, SEAN.
WHY'S HIS SHIRT OFF?
BECAUSE SEAN WORKS OUT EVERY DAY AND THUS NEEDS BUT THE FLIMISIST OF EXCUSES TO REMOVE HIS SHIRT IN PUBLIC SETTINGS.
WE'RE IN A RESTAURANT.
HELPS ME DIGEST.
WHOA WHOA WHOA, SEAN, KEEP ON THE PANTS.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
TO BE NON-
JUDGMENTAL?
BECAUSE NOBODY
IS PERFECT, SO
TO JUDGE OTHERS
IS TO INVITE
JUDGMENT UPON
OURSELVES.
SO NOBODY SHOULD
JUDGE ANYBODY
BECAUSE WE ALL
HAVE FLAWS AND
THUS ARE NOT IN
A POSITION TO
JUDGE OTHERS.
EXACTLY.
THEN WHO TELLS
THE IDIOTS
THEY'RE IDIOTS?
YOU MIGHT
BE MISSING
THE POINT.
IT'S A
PUBLIC
SERVICE
I PERFORM!

WHAT THE @#$% DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
PAINTING YOUR HOUSE, NEIGHBOR BOB. SIR.
WHY?!
IT'S NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DAY. WE ALL PITCH IN TO PICK UP TRASH, MOW LAWNS, THAT SORT OF STUFF. I VOLUNTEERED TO PAINT YOUR HOUSE.
WHY WOULD YOU HELP ME? ALL YOU'VE EVER DONE IS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CARS ON MY LAWN AND MY NOT MOWING THE GRASS AND MY 'LOUD' PARTIES.
YESSIR. BUT THAT'S ALL BEHIND US NOW, SIR. I'M WILLING TO MAKE A FRESH START.
FINE. BUT IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FRESH START, YOU BETTER DO A THOROUGH JOB.
THOROUGH IT IS, SIR. YOU'LL BE MY CREAM.
BE THOROUGH.

HEY, RAT...
I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY
FRIEND, FOOFY THE
FLYING FISH.
FLYING FISH CAN'T REALLY
FLY. THEY'RE JUST CALLED

OUT OF THE WATER, GIVING
THE ILLUSION OF FLIGHT.
FOOFY DIDN'T NEED TO
KNOW THAT.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY VUVUZELA? IT'S THAT OBNOXIOUS HORN BLOWN BY ALL THOSE FANS DURING THE WORLD CUP.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE WEALTH OF THE TOP ONE PERCENT OF AMERICANS IS GREATER THAN THAT OF THE BOTTOM 95 PERCENT COMBINED?
SO?
SO I'M TAKING IT BACK.
TO GIVE TO THE POOR?
WELL NOW THAT WOULD BE STUPID.

WHY ARE WE OUT HERE?
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING "MAN VS. WILD" AND I HAVE LEARNED ALL THE TECHNIQUES FOR SURVIVING IN NATURE'S HARSHEST CLIMATES WITH NOTHING BUT YOUR SKILL TO SEPARATE YOU FROM AN OTHERWISE CERTAIN DEATH.
MAY I GO INSIDE FOR A SODA POP?
YOU'RE REALLY RUINING THE EXPERIENCE.

HEY, RAT... I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A NEW FRIEND OF MINE. HE'S A BIG FAN.
OF WHAT?
HE'S JUST A BIG FAN.
THEY PAY YOU FOR THIS?

DO YOU HAVE ANY CORE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS?... THINGS YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART ARE TRUE?
JUST NACHOFICATION.
WHAT'S NACHOFICATION?
THE BELIEF THAT EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER WITH MELTED CHEESE.

AHHHHHH, A DOUBTER. MAY I LEAVE YOU WITH SOME LITERATURE?

WHATCHA WATCHING?
ENGLISH SOCCER...I ROOT FOR THIS ONE TEAM, BUT THEY'RE IN DANGER OF RELEGATION.
WHAT'S RELEGATION?
THE TEAMS THAT FINISH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STANDINGS GET BOOTED OUT OF THE LEAGUE.
WHERE DO THEY GO?
ANOTHER LEAGUE.
SO RELEGATION LETS YOU TAKE YOUR LEAST COMPETENT LOSERS AND MAKE THEM GO SOMEWHERE ELSE?
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.
YOO!! HOP IN THE GOSH@*# POT!
I WAS HOPING TO JUST BE ONE OF THE VIKINGS, MA’AM.
HELGA, WHY IS MY DINNER TALKING?

HERE'S THE THING... YOU GROW UP WITH HUGE DREAMS... DREAMS OF FAME AND TRAVEL AND AWARDS AND ROMANCE AND IMMORTALITY...

EXCUSE ME, SIR, WAS THAT YOU THAT JUST PARKED YOUR GOLD CAMARO IN THE DISABLED PARKING?
WHY YES, OFFICER... UH... DOES THAT SAY "SNIPKINS"?
YEAH. LISTEN, PAL, CAN I ASK YOU WHY YOU’RE TAKING A DISABLED SPOT?
WELL, IF YOU MUST KNOW, I HAVE A DISABILITY.
WHICH IS WHAT?
I’M BLIND.
YOU DROVE A CAR.
YOU READ MY NAME.
WELL, IT COMES AND GOES.

YOU EVER NOTICE HOW THERE SOMETIMES SEEMS TO BE AN EXCESS OF DISABLED PARKING SPOTS AT STORES?
THAT'S DONE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM CAN ALWAYS BE ASSURED OF GETTING THEM.
SO DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE UNETHICAL FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT A DISABILITY TO FAKE LIKE HE HAS ONE JUST SO HE CAN GET ONE OF THOSE DISABLED PLACARDS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES?
OF COURSE IT WOULD BE UNETHICAL.
GOOD THING I CAN'T SEE THE LOOK OF DISGUST ON YOUR FACE.
