HEY, PIG. WHAT'S ALL THAT STUFF?
IT BELONGS TO THAT GENTLEMANLY NEIGHBOR OF OURS, MR. LEE.
OH, YEAH. HE'S THE GUY THEY CALL 'GENT'.
YEAH, AND HE'S PAYING ME TO MOVE ALL OF IT TO HIS NEW HOUSE.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
THERE'S A PAINTING OF THE SCREAM; EXTRA DOWN FOR HIS PILLOW; A PHOTO OF MR. LEE; A BOOT I'M GUESSING HIM; AND HE LOVES FISH EGGS, SO THAT'S A PIE FOR ROE, AND ANOTHER PIE AND ANOTHER PIE...
DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?
ACTUALLY, IT'D BE GREAT IF YOU READ OFF EVERYTHING YOU SEE AND I'LL CHECK THEM OFF TO MAKE SURE I'VE GOT IT ALL.
ALRIGHT. OKAY. READY WHEN YOU ARE...
ROE. ROE. ROE. YOUR BOOT. GENT LEE. DOWN. THE SCREAM.
YOU ARE TO COMIC STRIPS WHAT THE 'TITANIC' WAS TO BOATING.

WHERE YOU OFF TO, PIG?
TO PUT A LOCK ON THE MAILBOX SO WE'RE NOT THE VICTIMS OF IDENTITY THEFT.
OH, PLEASE. EVERYONE'S SO PARANOID ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT NOW. WE'RE ALL A BUNCH OF NINNIES.
YOU THINK THIS MAKES ME A NINNY?
YES.
NINNY.
WE HAVE AN ISSUE.
ISSUE.
NINNY.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WITH EVERYONE
HAVING A PLATFORM NOW AND ALL
COMMUNICATION BEING INSTANTANEOUS
THAT WE'RE ALL TOO QUICK TO
OVERREACT?
My friend Goat just said
the dumbest thing that's
ever been said in the
history of the world.
I DON'T
KNOW.
MAYBE I'M
CRAZY.
NO, NO.
KEEP
TALKING.

WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, PIG?
THE DAFFODILS POPPED UP HERE. BUT THEN THEY HEARD ABOUT ALL THAT HAS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD AND WENT BACK INTO THE GROUND.
SMARTEST THING WE'VE EVER DONE.

DAFFODILS! THE FIRST SIGN OF SPRING! YOU'VE BEEN DORMANT FOR SO LONG. LET ME FILL YOU IN ON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE WORLD!
THEY WENT BACK INTO THE GROUND.

IF YOU CAN DIE AT ANY TIME, WHAT'S THE POINT OF EXERCISE?
EXERCISE ISN'T ONLY ABOUT LONGEVITY. IT'S ALSO ABOUT FEELING BETTER ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.
I FEEL BETTER WHEN I EAT A BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN WASHED DOWN BY A SIX-PACK.
ENJOY YOUR SHORT LIFE.
ENJOY YOUR LONG, SUCKY ONE.

Happiness is a journey!
Which must mean my car is broken down by the side of the road.
ARE THERE TOW TRUCKS FOR THIS?

I am sad.
Sad because I am lonely.
Lonely because no one in the world wants me.
And when you don't feel wanted, you feel invisible.
I used to comfort myself by thinking of all the other unwanted people there must be.
But sometimes it feels like I'm the only one left.
Especially at the Post office, where the government announces all those whose status has changed.
SIGH.
HEY, MORON. THEY'RE CRIMINALS.
AW, NUTS. WOMEN ALWAYS LIKE BAD BOYS.

Dear Powers That Be
in the Universe,
I have had more
than my share of
bad luck lately.
So maybe pick
on someone else
for a bit.
P.S. I can
suggest
names.
I ALWAYS TRY TO BE
HELPFUL.

DON'T YOU WISH SOMETIMES THAT THERE WAS THIS MAGIC THING THAT COULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF AND MAKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE OKAY?
YES.
IT'S CALLED A SIX-PACK.
I MEAN LONG TERM.
IT'S CALLED A KEG.

BAD NEWS. WE HAVE SAVED ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY FOR THE FUTURE.
GOOD NEWS. THERE MAY NOT BE A FUTURE!
I KNEW IT WOULD ALL WORK OUT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE LIVING THE LIFE YOU SHOULD BE?
STEVE JOBS HAD A GREAT TEST. HE SAID IF TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU WANT TO DO WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO DO TODAY?
DEFINITELY NOT.
WHY IS THAT?
BECAUSE I’D SEE NO NEED TO PICK UP MY DRY CLEANING.
LET’S START OVER.
I KNEW I WAS ON THE WRONG PATH.

WHY DO PEOPLE TAKE DRUGS?
I GUESS TO PUT THEMSELVES IN A STATE WHERE THEY HAVE NO WORRIES, NO ANXIETY, AND JUST FEEL GOOD.
I CALL THAT NAPPING.
THAT'S CERTAINLY SAFER.
AND IT'S NOT EVEN ILLEGAL.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE, PIG?
IT'S A GLOW BALL. IT GLOWS IN THE DARK.
WHOA. WHAT MAKES IT GLOW?
THERE'S A LITTLE ELECTRIC LIGHT INSIDE. BUT IT MAKES THE BALL GET PRETTY WARM, WHICH WORRIES ME.
WHAT WORRIES YOU?
GLOW BALL WARMING.
MAY THE RISING SEAS WASH YOU AWAY.

YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENTS BEEN ACCUSED OF MURDER.
NO TRIAL! GIVE HIM THE DEATH PENALTY!
MY CLIENT HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF MANSLAUGHTER.
GIVE HER THE DEATH PENALTY.
DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE?
DEATH PENALTY!
SAYING THE WRONG THING?
DEATH PENALTY!
THINKING THE WRONG THING.
DEATH PENALTY!
ASSOCIATING WITH OTHERS WHO THINK THE WRONG THING.
DEATH PENALTY!
ISSUING AN APOLOGY THAT WASN’T 100% TO OUR LIKING.
DEATH PENALTY!
IF SOCIAL MEDIA WAS AN ACTUAL JUDGE.
I’M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER DUE PROCESS.
HANG THE GOAT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
I JUST SPRAY-PAINTED A COP CAR AND ROBBED A CANDY STORE!
WHAT?! WHY?
I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR TODAY AND IT SAID FEBRUARY 29TH.
SO?
SO FEBRUARY ONLY HAS 28 DAYS! MEANING IT'S NOT A REAL DAY! SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!
THIS FEELS REAL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
I MET THIS GIANT FLY
AND HE LET ME HOP
ON HIS BACK AND WRITE
A STORY.
WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO
DO THAT?
I LIKE CREATING
STUFF ON
THE FLY.
THIS FEELS APPROPRIATE.

If it is before 9 a.m., do not speak to me.
If I have not yet had coffee, do not speak to me.
If it is BOTH before 9 a.m. and I have not yet had coffee, THIS COULD GET UGLY!
IT'S NICE WHEN HE COMES WITH WARNING LABELS.

HOW THE
WORLD LOOKS TO
PEOPLE ON
TWITTER.
OHHHH!
GAWD,
THE WORLD
IS ENDING!
SHAME
THEM!
SHAME
THEM!
WE
ARE
DOOMED!
HOW
THE PEOPLE
ON TWITTER
LOOK TO
THE WORLD...
WHOA...
DUDES ARE
FREAKING OUT.
THE IRONY IS
THAT I'LL
POST THIS ON
TWITTER.
WHAT IS
THAT
TWEET
'SPOSED TO
MEAN??

HEY, RAT... IT'S ME, GOAT... LISTEN, MY CAR BROKE DOWN AND I'M STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. CAN YOU HELP ME ?
SURE. I'M SENDING YOU THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
IT'S SO MUCH EASIER THAN GETTING UP.

I WANT TO WORK HARD AND BE RICH.

HOW COME?
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE RICH, ALL YOUR WORRIES GO AWAY.
NO THEY DON'T. IN FACT, SOMETIMES YOU GET NEW ONES.
MY LIFE OF SLOTH HAS BEEN VALIDATED.

AHA!
WHO ARE YOU?
WE'RE THE OFFENDEDSITAS!
WE TAKE OFFENSE AT ANYTHING YOU SAY.
AND DESTROY YOU.
WHY?
IT GIVES US PURPOSE.
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO?
NOPE
WHAT IF WE JUST GO ON WITH OUR LIVES LIKE WE USED TO....LEAVING CREATIVE PEOPLE FREE TO IGNORE IT?
WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR LIVES?
AND THERE GOES THEIR SUPERPOWERS.
CAN I AT LEAST KEEP THE TIGHTS?
KNOCK YOUR SELF OUT.

I DON'T NEED YOUR JUDGMENT.
THAT'S REALLY STUPID.
BAD READING COMPREHENSION.

RETIREMENT
CALCULATOR
To determine your
annual retirement

following:

Add your total
personal savings to your
total employee pension.
Divide by the number
of retirement years

I LOVE WHEN THE MATH
IS EASY.

GOD HANDING OUT INNATE SKILLS.
AND YOU SHALL HAVE GREAT MUSICAL SKILLS.
AND YOU SHALL BE NATURALLY GREAT AT SPORTS.
AND YOU SHALL HAVE GREAT ARTISTIC ABILITY.
HEY, GUYS! HAD TO TAKE A QUICK POTTY BREAK. WHAT'D I MISS?
AND THAT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
DEFINITELY DIDN'T GET THE ART SKILLS.
