OKAY, PIG...WE'VE BEEN MOVING PAPER FROM THIS STACK TO THIS STACK FOR TWO DAYS AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY PROVEN OURSELVES INDISPENSABLE TO THIS COMPANY. IT'S TIME TO LEVERAGE THAT VALUE INTO SOMETHING MORE...OH, MR. HENRY?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M THE REASON THIS PLACE EXISTS, YOU BIG, FAT NOTHING...NOW PAY ME WHAT I'M WORTH OR I FIREBOMB THE MEN'S ROOM.
PERHAPS WE OVERPLAYED OUR CARDS.

WHO ARE YOU TWO?
WE’RE THE NEW GUYS.
TODAY’S OUR FIRST DAY.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
WE MOVE THE PAPER FROM THIS STACK
…TO THIS STACK.
I DON’T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A REASON.
WE TRY NOT TO OVERTHINK IT.
PLEASE, PEOPLE, PLEASE, LET THE PIG FOCUS!

CAN I HELP YOU TWO?
YES... WE'RE TWO HIGHLY QUALIFIED, QUICK LEARNERS WHO ARE PRESENTLY IN NEED OF GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT.
WELL, I HAVE A COUPLE OF OPENINGS, BUT YOU JUST SIT AT A DESK AND MOVE PAPER FROM ONE STACK TO THE OTHER.
WHOA WHOA WHOA... SAY IT S-L-O-O-O-O-W-L-Y.

DID YOU KNOW THAT WHILE THE AVERAGE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER MAKES MORE THAN $3,000,000 A YEAR, THE AVERAGE STARTING TEACHER'S SALARY IS $29,000?
THAT MEANS A BASEBALL PLAYER MAKES IN TWO GAMES WHAT IT TAKES THAT TEACHER AN ENTIRE YEAR TO EARN.
HOW 'BOUT WE ALL AGREE ONE DAY A YEAR WHERE WE TAKE THE MONEY WE WOULD HAVE SPENT AT A GAME AND GIVE IT TO OUR KID'S TEACHER?
DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A BETTER USE OF ABOUT $150?
YO, COMRADE..THAT'S CALLED COMMUNISM AND WE DEFEATED IT IN THE WAR OF... UH... 1812.
YES. IT WAS QUITE COLD DURING THE WAR OF 1812.
WHOA. WE'RE MISSING BASEBALL.

CAN I HELP YOU TWO?
YES... WE'RE BROKE... WE NEED A JOB.
WELL, I ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OPENINGS... THEY'RE DESK JOBS.
OH... I'M NOT QUALIFIED.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I'VE NEVER BUILT A DESK IN MY LIFE.
NEXT TIME, I DO THE TALKING.

WHAT'S WITH THE GLASSES AND BOW TIE?
THEY'RE PHASE ONE OF MY TWO PART PLAN TO LOOK SMART.
WHAT'S THE SECOND PHASE?
I SAY, WHAT'S THE SECOND PHASE?
TO STOP TALKING.

LISTEN, NEWT... RAT'S REAL TIRED OF YOU TALKING ALL THE TIME, SO WE'RE GONNA PUT YOU IN THE BACKYARD FOR AWHILE.
GOOD... I'M TIRED OF BEING STUCK IN THAT CAGE.
... EES LIKE McNUGGET, BUT NO AS TASTY.

OUR PRIORITY HAS TO BE CUTTING GOVERNMENT, NOT TO MENTION HEALTH CARE REFORM. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. NOW, IF I WERE PRESIDENT…
WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP? I'M TRYING TO WATCH T.V. AND BESIDES, YOU CAN'T BE PRESIDENT. EVERYONE KNOWS MCLAIN IS A LOCK FOR 2008… HE'D HAVE TO GET CAUGHT WITH AN EXOTIC DANCER IN A MOTEL ROOM TO LOSE THAT.
Dear John,
Have I found the girl for you.

HAHAHAHA
I LOVE THIS MUTTS COMIC.
THIS PATRICK MCDONNELL IS A GENIUS.
YEAH. AND I LIKE HOW HE PROMOTES ANIMAL CAUSES, LIKE SPAYING AND NEUTERING YOUR PETS.

YOU BET IT'S IMPORTANT.
BAD NEWS.

LOOK, RAT... I BOUGHT A NEWT.
OH, I LOVE THOSE LITTLE SALAMANDER DUDES. WHAT KIND IS IT?
I'M NOT SURE... HE'S HIDING BEHIND THAT ROCK. TAP ON THE GLASS AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET HIM TO COME OUT.

CROSS-BRED FROM THE FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND PSYCHOS, YOUR NEWT SHOULD BRING YOU HOURS OF ENJOYMENT.

I NOTICED THAT YOUR BLOG ENTRY YESTERDAY WAS ONCE AGAIN FOLLOWED BY ZERO COMMENTS. THIS OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT NO ONE IS READING IT... DOES THAT BOTHER YOU ?
GO AWAY.
I WAS THINKING, MAYBE YOU COULD JUST SHOVE YOUR WRITING UNDER THIS BOX. THAT WAY, JUST AS MANY PEOPLE WOULD READ IT, BUT YOU'D SAVE A FORTUNE ON INTERNET CONNECTION FEES.
PERHAPS SAVING MONEY IS NOT A PRIORITY FOR YOU.
