"So, son, how's your work?" "Fine, ma. I've been in the comic strip five years now... do you still read it?" "Yes, but I don't always understand it... and why do they call you 'Goat'? Your name is 'Paris.'" "I know, ma. It's just a stage name." "Well, it's a dumb name if you ask me.. and why do they give all the jokes to that rat and pig? Can't you say funny lines?" "How 'bout we talk about something else, Ma?" "Sure..." "How come you don't visit more often?"

I love how they are talking about it while they are actually in the strip. So confusing

Wouldn’t it be wild if Paris’ last name were Franz?

Pig is dumb and Rat is well Rat and then we have the Crocs and Guard Duck so that’s why Goat doesn’t have funny lines he’s the unfunny one

He gets some good ones. And the setup from the straight man can make or break a joke.
Besides, with that expressive face, he can be funny without saying a thing.
