WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
PROPOSING A NEW TEAM FOR PRO BASEBALL - THE 'NADIAS'. THEY'D BE NAMED FOR THE FAMED GYMNAST, NADIA COMANECI, AND WOULD BE AN INSPIRATION FOR GIRLS EVERYWHERE.
FINE. BUT YOU NEED A SHORTER NAME THAT FANS CAN USE WHEN THEY CHEER. LIKE THE NATIONALS ARE THE 'NATS'.
MAYBE THE 'NADS'.
GO NADS!
STOP NOW.
WHAT? WHERE'S YOUR TEAM SPIRIT?
WHO DOESN'T LIKE 'NADS?

I'M SAD.
I WILL EAT UNTIL I'M HAPPY.
NOW I FEEL GUILTY.
BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN SAD.
I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM.
NOW I'M SAD.

Once upon a time, there was a faraway place where people only got the news they wanted.

THE SKY IS BLUE.

NO, THE SKY IS RED.

This divided everyone.

Even families.

I CAN'T EAT WITH HIM. HE THINKS THE SKY IS BLUE.

Then one day the Great Bunny O'Wisdom descended from the sky with a shocking revelation.

MEDIA OUTLETS MAKE HUGE PROFITS FROM ONLY CATERING TO THEIR VIEWERS. THIS HELPS ONLY THEM.

So the enlightened people gathered all the partisan TV hacks and locked them in the Great Cube o' Silence.

And we Americans met each other again.

HEY. YOU'RE PRETTY NORMAL.

YOU TOO. HERE'S A BURGER AND A PITCHFORK.

And we could once again get things done.

THE BILL PASSES.

But alas, there's no Great Bunny O'Wisdom.

We're all screwed.

NO HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

I LIKE TO END ON A REALISTIC NOTE

I WISHED HIM INTO EXISTENCE!

PIG'S READING A BOOK BY SOME PRODUCTIVITY EXPERT. IT SAYS THE BEST WAY TO HAVE A PRODUCTIVE DAY IS TO DO THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST.
HE'S EATING CHEESE.
WHOA... SO PRODUCTIVE I CAN'T MOVE.

A SUMMARY OF HOW PRETTY MUCH EVERY TWEET ON TWITTER WORKS...

DEFINITION OF INSANITY.

HEY, RAT, ARE YOU GONNA DUST YOUR ROOM?
I DUSTED IT LAST MONTH.
IT GOT DUSTY AGAIN.
SO IT'S MOCKING US.
I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT CALCULATING.
GO TO YOUR ROOM, ROOM.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE, PIG?
BRAND NEW ALARM CLOCK THAT THE BOX SAYS HAS A LOT MORE SNOOZE BUTTON OPTIONS.
LIKE WHAT-- TEN MINUTES? TWENTY MINUTES?
'REST OF LIFE.'
THAT'S ONE WAY TO COPE.
KISS MY PROBLEMS GOODBYE!

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Trouble shooting? Aim better.

HOW TO SUCCEED MORE.

PERMANENTLY OFFENDED GUY.

NEVER USE THAT WORD. I'M OFFENDED!
NEVER MAKE THAT JOKE. I'M OFFENDED!
NEVER HAVE THAT THOUGHT. I'M OFFENDED!

IF A GUY COMPLAINS IN A FOREST AND NO ONE IS AROUND TO HEAR IT, DOES ANYONE CARE?
I'M OFFENDED!
PLEASE SHUT YOUR FACE.

WHAT'S THE ONE THING YOU'RE DETERMINED TO DO IN YOUR LIFE ?
GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
THAT'S WONDERFUL. WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO GO ?
BACK HOME. THE PLANE WOULD JUST CIRCLE AROUND.
SOME PEOPLE LAND AND SEE THINGS.
I JUST WANT THE FREE PEANUTS.

Change
starts
with
you.
I AM KING OF THE WORLD NOW. DO AS I SAY.

I THINK RAT GOT AWAY WITH EMBEZZLING FUNDS FROM HIS EMPLOYER.
WELL, THE GUILT THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAUSES IS OFTEN ITS OWN PUNISHMENT.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD COUNT ON THAT.

HEY, NEIGHBOR BOB. SAW YOU SAID SOMETHING BAD ABOUT ME ON TWITTER.

KIDS, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT FAMILY DEBT.
ALRIGHT.
OKAY.
The bad news is it’s large. Over $350,000. And it’s an amount like that is hard to pay back.

YEAH, BECAUSE ONE OF MY SINS IS THAT I'M LAZY AND KNOW I'LL NEVER GO.
SO WHY'D YOU DO IT?
BECAUSE ANOTHER ONE OF MY SINS IS THAT I'M GREEDY AND DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY LIKE THAT.
SO YOU LET YOUR SINS BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY.
IT'S THE KEY TO STAYING FIT.

Once upon a time,
there were corrupt
local governments.
But they were watched
by people paid to
investigate stories.
Then one day
an internet
appeared.
And everything
changed.
And now people want
their news
for free.
So there is no one
left to watch local
government.
But that's
okay,
because
governments
will be good now.
