EXCUSE ME, SIR... IS THIS YOUR VIKING?
YES, OFFICER. WHAT'S GOING ON?
I CAUGHT HIM IN THE BATHROOM STALL TRYING TO RUB HIS FOOT AGAINST MINE.
I HAVE A WIDE STANCE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
I'M FLYING TO A BIG CONVENTION THINGIE AND I'M TAKING ALONG MY VIKING FIGURINES.
TAKING YOUR VIKINGS, HUH? WHAT IS IT, A GUN SHOW? KNIFE SHOW?
LILAC FESTIVAL.
THERE'S A GUY WHO DOESN'T LIKE LILACS.

Danny Donkey hated people.
He made him wait at the supermarket.
He made him wait at the video store.
They made him wait in line at the amusement park.
So Danny Donkey cut the line.
Cut the line at the supermarket.
Cut the line at the amusement park.
Cut the line at the video store.
Why, Danny Donkey cut every line he could find.
But for everything we do, there are consequences. And this was no exception.
For as a result of all his line-cutting, Danny Donkey saw that he had become something he had never been before.
Happy.
YOU ARE NOT PUTTING THIS IN A BOOK FOR CHILDREN.

RAT, JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
BEFORE I JOIN THIS YOUNG COUPLE IN HOLY MATRIMONY, I'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS TO THE LOVELY BRIDE AND HER GROOM ABOUT THIS THEIR SPECIAL DAY...
EACH OF YOU COULD HAVE DONE MUCH, MUCH BETTER.
YOUR MOTHERS MADE ME SAY THAT.

RAT ACTS AS JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE A DOVE, WHICH REPRESENTS THE PEACE AND HARMONY YOU TWO WILL EXPERIENCE TOGETHER.
AND BOB THE ELEPHANT, WHO REPRESENTS THE PROBLEMS.
NO SUDDEN MOVES. BOB'S JUMPY.

WHERE'S RAT TODAY?
HE GOT A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE LICENSE... HE'S GONNA PERFORM WEDDINGS.
A CYNIC LIKE HIM?... THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA.
OHH, HE'LL BE FINE.
AND REMEMBER, 'GROOM' RHYMES WITH 'DOOM.'

WELL, GOODBYE, MOM... I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I LOVE YOU... AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAY IS FILLED WITH SUBTLE CRITICISM, I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN IT.
I LOVE YOU TOO, SON... I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.
DID YOU SHOWER?

SON, TALK TO YOUR UNCLE... HE HASN'T SEEN YOU IN TWELVE YEARS...
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY... I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM?
HE'S... HE'S CHANGED. HE'S JUST A GOAT. HE EATS GRASS. HE WALKS ON ALL FOURS.
OH, SON... HE DIDN'T CHANGE... YOU DID.
AND NOT FOR THE BETTER, SAYS YOUR PEEVED UNCLE TED.

GOAT RETURNS HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWELVE YEARS

LIKE MOTHER TERESA, I HAVE FOUND A PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE.
THAT'S WONDERFUL! WHAT IS IT?
I AM GOING TO FIND EVERY IDIOT WHO'S EVER POSED FOR A PHOTO BY RESTING HIS CHIN ON THE BACK OF HIS HAND AND BEAT HIM WITH THIS CUCUMBER.
HEY, GUYS, LOOK! I JUST GOT MY PHOTO TAKEN, AND BOY, DO I LOOK THOUGHTFUL!
I'M SENSING A CUCUMBER MOMENT.
RUN, PIG. RUN.

SO, SON, HOW'S YOUR WORK?
FINE, MA. I'VE BEEN IN THE COMIC STRIP FIVE YEARS NOW. DO YOU STILL READ IT?
YES, BUT I DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND IT. AND WHY DO THEY CALL YOU 'GOAT'? YOUR NAME IS 'PARIS.'
