HEY, SIR... IS THAT A CELL PHONE AND A PAGER YOU HAVE CLIPPED TO YOUR BELT?
YEAH. WHY?
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK UP 'TOTAL LOSER GEEK' IN THE DICTIONARY, YOU'LL SEE IT SAYS 'MAN WHO CLIPS MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES TO HIS BELT.'
IS THAT SO?
TAKE IT EASY, SIR... IT'S ONLY A COMIC STRIP.
WE SHOULD GO NOW, RAT.

AS THE MALE LIONS SLEEP, THE FEMALES GO OUT ON THE PROWL TO HUNT FOR PREY... IT IS THEY THAT TRADITIONALLY PERFORM THE HUNTING DUTIES...
ONLY AFTER THE PREY IS KILLED DO THE MALES JOIN IN, SHOVING ASIDE THE FEMALES TO GET THE FIRST AND LARGEST SHARE OF THE MEAL... UNFAIR? PERHAPS... BUT THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE.
I'M GONNA KILL YOU, LARRY.

RAT ATTENDS A STRANGER'S FUNERAL TO GET THE FREE FOOD.
I'M SORRY, SIR... WERE YOU A FRIEND OF BOB'S? I'VE NEVER MET YOU.
UH, YEAH. WE WORKED TOGETHER.
BOB NEVER HELD A JOB IN HIS LIFE.
UHH... THE LORD'S WORK. WE DID THE LORD'S WORK TOGETHER.
BOB WAS AN ATHEIST.
THAT MADE IT HARD.

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE WRONG TO ATTEND A COMPLETE STRANGER'S FUNERAL JUST TO GET THE FREE FOOD?
OF COURSE IT'D BE WRONG. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK?
I SURE DO MISS AL.
BOB.
OH.

MAN, I'D LOVE TO TALK TO THAT HOT CHICK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, BUT SHE'S CLEARLY ONE OF THOSE PRIM AND PROPER TYPES.
TRY A LITTLE HUMOR. WOMEN LOVE A GUY WHO CAN DEMONSTRATE A SUBTLE WIT.
HOW OBVIOUS. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? ALRIGHT, PAL, HERE I GO...
YO...PULL MY FINGER.

MY PROBLEM IN LIFE IS THAT WHENEVER SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS TO ME, I ALWAYS FEAR THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL FOLLOW. SO I CAN NEVER ENJOY ANY OF MY SUCCESS.
YEAH. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I CAN NEVER ENJOY MY SUCCESS EITHER.
WHY IS THAT?
I DON'T HAVE ANY.

PIG, WE'VE BEEN GOING OUT FOR SIX YEARS... EITHER YOU GIVE ME A RING OR WE'RE FINISHED.
OH, PIG! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
HOOKED A FAT ONE.

HEY, NEIGHBOR GEORGE. WHAT'S WRONG?
I GOTTA MEET MY MOTHER FOR LUNCH AND IT BURNS ME OUT. SHE'S GETTING OLD AND SHE'S ALWAYS COMPLAINING... SHE'S VERY NEGATIVE.
WHAT DOES SHE COMPLAIN ABOUT?
LATELY, IT'S THE FACT THAT HER SPINE IS COMPRESSING. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET OLDER AND YOUR BONES LOSE THEIR DENSITY. THAT'S WHY OLDER PEOPLE SOMETIMES LOSE SOME OF THEIR HEIGHT.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND TOO BAD. I BET SHE'LL BE FINE.
EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.

HEY, PIG... GET ME A BEER... I DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS PART.

CURSE THOSE ROOF FISH.

HEY, LOOK! A DVD OF "THE OFFICE"! THAT'S MY FAVORITE SHOW!
DON'T TOUCH IT, PIG... IT'S THE ROOF FISH... THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL YOU.
THE ROOF FISH?
THEY SIT ATOP THE PANEL AND TRY TO CATCH YOU USING THINGS THEY KNOW TEMPT YOU. IF YOU FALL FOR IT, THEY EAT YOU.
SO MUCH FOR OUR BACON BREAKFAST.

SOMETIMES I LOOK UP AT THE SKY AND WONDER IF ANYTHING I EVER ACCOMPLISH IN LIFE WILL HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANCE.
SOMETIMES I LOOK UP AT THE SKY AND GET HIT BY BIRD DROPPINGS.
FRIENDS LIKE US HAVE LOTS IN COMMON.

I'VE REACHED A CONCLUSION. I HATE THE WORLD.

IS THAT SO?
YES, BUT WHEN I'M DRUNK, I LOVE THE WORLD.
AND THIS MEANS?
THAT MY GETTING TOASTED IS A SELFLESS ACT OF KINDNESS.
YOU COULD AT LEAST BUY THE BEER.

HI, MOM... NO, PIG'S NOT HERE YET... I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GONNA ASK ME TO MARRY HIM... I'M JUST ASSUMING...
I MEAN, WHY ELSE WOULD HE CALL ME AN HOUR BEFORE OUR DINNER DATE AND TELL ME TO EXPECT SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL...

I'M A BAD LISTENER.
HOW SO?
I ONLY HEAR THINGS I WANT TO HEAR AND DISREGARD THE REST.
OHH, THAT'S NOT A GOOD WAY TO BE..HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO CHANGE?

HAVE YOU AND MAX MET ANY FEMALE LIONS?
Nada, bro. Manes weren't big enough. Roars weren't loud enough.
WHAT'S LEFT?
Physical size, I guess. But what can I do about that?
Cool it with the 'roids, Max.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM A DEPOSED NIGERIAN KING. HE NEEDS MY HELP CASHING A SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLAR CHECK. I’M GOING TO MEET HIM NOW. I’VE HIT THE BIG TIME.
THAT’S A SCAM, PIG. THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY.
YOU SOUND JEALOUS.

SO HAVE YOU AND MAX HAD ANY LUCK MEETING LADIES?
NOPE... OUR MANES WEREN'T BIG ENOUGH.
AREN'T FEMALE LIONS ATTRACTED TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN MANE SIZE?
WELL, THERE'S THE LOUDNESS OF YOUR ROAR, BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT. EITHER YOU GOT IT OR YOU DON'T.
YOU'RE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES, MAX.

I HEARD SOME FEMALE LIONS ARE VISITING YOU TODAY.
Yep. Me and Max are back on the market, so we want to look our best.
WHAT'S A FEMALE LION ATTRACTED TO?
Manes, mostly. The bigger the mane, the more likely the female is to see you as dominant.
Enough with the blow dryer, Max.

WELL, HELLO, MA'AM... YOU'RE QUITE ATTRACTIVE. DO YOU FIND ME ATTRACTIVE?
NO.
SIMON SAYS FIND ME ATTRACTIVE.
SIMON SAYS BUY ME ANOTHER BEER.
