Duuude... Bad news... The wife spotted you coming home last night. You were wearing a fanny pack. You're doomed.
WHY AM I DOOMED?
Fanny packs show weakness. It's just one of those unspoken rules.
BUT I GOT IT DURING A RICK STEVES' PBS PLEDGE BREAK.
Ooooh. That didn't help.

DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? "THE REAL WORLD" IS ON.
NONE OF OUR USUAL CHANNELS ARE COMING IN. ALL I GET IS THIS SPECIAL CALLED "THE GLORY OF WATERFOWL."
WHAT KIND OF MORON NIXES "THE REAL WORLD" FOR THIS??!!
DUCK PROPAGANDA: THE KEY TO GOOD GOVERNANCE.

DUUUDE... GOOD NEWS... THE WIFE KILLED THAT BIG, FAT ANTELOPE ON 3RD STREET... WE'VE GOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR A WEEK... HIGH FIVE, BRO, YOU'RE SAFE.
SHE KILLED GEORGE? WE'VE BEEN CLOSE FRIENDS FOR SIXTEEN YEARS! HE WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!
IF YOU WANT, WE CAN SKIP THE HIGH FIVE.

GOOD MORNING, MR. MAYOR.
GOOD MORNING, MISS CITY CLERK. HOW ARE THINGS?
NOT SO GOOD, SIR. THE CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO WIPE OUT SOME OF THE EMERGENCY MEASURES YOU EVOKED.
FINE. EVUMINATE THEM.
THE LAWS?
THE CITY COUNCIL.
SIR...
HERE. HIDE THIS IN YOUR SWEATER.

DIDN'T YOUR GUARD DUCK BECOME MAYOR OF THE TOWN IN A BIG COUP LAST NOVEMBER?
YEAH. WHY?
IT SAYS HERE THAT NONE OF THE CITY'S BUSINESS IS GETTING DONE.
WELL, I'M SURE HE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING.
NOT BIG ENOUGH.

Dear Zebra,
We are your new neighbors, Max and Zach.
Do not fear us.
We will not hunt you.
We will not kill you.
Why is that, you ask?
Because as any casual "Animal Planet" viewer can tell you, it's the female lions that do the hunting and killing.
We just devour your remains.
Don't take it personal.

WHAT NOW, RAT?
I AM GIGANTOBRAIN, MAN OF INFINITE WISDOM. MAN WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING. ASK ME ANYTHING. ANYTHING.
WHY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO GO TO NUDE BEACHES THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE NUDE?
I HAVE MY LIMITATIONS, YOU KNOW.

DING DONG
DING DONG
AAAAHHHHHHH
I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH THE FRUIT BASKET.

I'M GETTING NEW NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TODAY.
THE CROCS ARE LEAVING?
NO, IT'S THE OLD COUPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ME... THEY'RE MOVING OUT. I JUST HOPE THE NEW NEIGHBORS ARE FRIENDLY.
DIBS ON THE STRIPED ONE.

I JUST WROTE A BOOK OF HUMOROUS STORIES. IT'S COMEDY GOLD.
HAVE YOU SHOWN IT TO ANYONE?
YES, I SHOWED IT TO SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS AT THE CAFE. THEY WERE FALLING OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS.
SO THEY LIKED IT?
NO, WHICH IS WHY I WAS PUSHING THEM OFF OF THEIR CHAIRS.
NEVER MIND.
HUMORLESS MORONS.

PIGITA, YOU'RE A GOOD GIRLFRIEND, BUT SOMETIMES YOU'RE A LITTLE MOODY.
I'M SORRY, PIGGY WIGGY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SORRY.
I'LL BE SORRY IF I WANT TO BE SORRY.
SIGH

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
EVERYTHING'S BEEN GOING WRONG FOR ME LATELY.
WELL, YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING, "IF LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS..."
"HURL THEM AT THE @#@#% WHO GAVE THEM TO YOU!!"
NO.
SHOVE 'EM DOWN HIS THROAT?
PUSH 'EM UP HIS NOSE?
OH, C'MON... I GOTTA BE CLOSE.

WHY MUST LIFE BE FILLED WITH PAIN? WHY MUST IT FOLLOW YOU ALL YOUR DAYS AND OVERTAKE YOU WITH SUCH REGULARITY?
YEAH, WHY CAN'T WE BE FOLLOWED BY A BIG BUCKET OF "FIG NEWTONS" INSTEAD? THEY'RE SO TASTY AND THEY BRING YOU SUCH JOY.
THERE'S THAT PAIN AGAIN.
AND SPEAKING OF REGULARITY...

SEE YA, RAT.
YOU GOING SWIMMING?
NO. WHY?
BECAUSE PEOPLE ONLY WEAR INFLATABLE RAFTS WHEN THEY'RE GOING SWIMMING.
I HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE ACCESSORIZING.
