I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, GUARD DUCK... YOU'VE TAUGHT ME HOW TO PANEWALK... I'M DEFYING COMIC STRIP GRAVITY THROUGH MIND CONTROL..
YES, AND IF YOU CAN DO THAT WITH YOUR OWN BODY, YOU CAN SOON LEARN TO DO THE SAME WITH OTHER OBJECTS. BUT BE CAREFUL... IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY POWER THAT ONE SHOULD USE FOR ONLY THE MOST CRITICAL OF TASKS.
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE RAIDING THE REFRIGERATOR.

HEY, LITTLE
GUARD DUCK...
WHATCHA
DOING?
I HAVE BECOME
A MEMBER OF
THE ORDER OF
PANEWALKERS.
I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO
DO THAT.
I CAN TEACH YOU.
BUT IT'S QUITE HARD.
YOU MUST FIRST BE
ABLE TO CLEAR YOUR
MIND OF ALL IDEAS,
ALL THOUGHTS, ALL
CEREBRAL ACTIVITY.
WHAT'S
THE HARD
PART?

WHO'S AT THE DOOR, FRED?
THAT STUPID ARMY DUCK FROM NEXT DOOR...THE ONE THAT'S ALWAYS ON ME ABOUT NOT CUTTING OUR LAWN.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
I'M GONNA OPEN THE DOOR AND DROP KICK THAT LITTLE WATERFOWL CLEAR ACROSS THE STREET.
NEVER MESS WITH A PANELWALKING DUCK, FRED.

WHAT ARE YOU READING, PIG?
LIVING IN THE FUNNIES! IT’S THE MAGAZINE FOR TODAY’S COMIC STRIP CHARACTER… HAS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ON ‘PANEL-WALKING.’
WHAT THE HECK IS PANEL-WALKING?
IT SAYS THAT THROUGH SHEER, ZEN-LIKE FOCUS, A DISCIPLINED COMIC STRIP CHARACTER CAN TEACH HIMSELF TO WALK ALONG ANY FOUR SIDES OF A COMIC STRIP PANEL!
LET’S SEE MARY WORTH DO THIS.

I'M THINKING OF GETTING ONE OF THOSE 'TIVO' THINGS.
SO GET ONE.
I'M WORRIED I WON'T KNOW HOW TO SET IT UP.
DUDE, IT'S EASY... LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY.
TOUCH IT AND YOU DIE, FAT MAN.
I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT EXPRESSION.
WHAT THE DEUCE ARE YOU STARING AT?

I HEARD YOU GOT FIRED FROM YOUR CONCIERGE JOB.
YEAH. I DID NOTHING TO STOP THE CROCS FROM EATING A CONFERENCE OF BLIND MICE. PERSONALLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS ENTERTAINING.
DID THEY GET SOMEONE TO REPLACE YOU?
THEY SAID THEY DID, BUT I DOUBT IT... A GOOD CONCIERGE CAN GET THINGS DONE -- SORTED THINGS -- OFTEN IN THE DARK OF NIGHT. WHO BUT ME CAN DO THAT?
MEOW.
