Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Rat... Do you have to open a new bag of chips? There are three open ones in the cupboard. Rat: Yeah, but there's barely anything in them. Pig: Then why don't you just throw them out? Rat: Because as a genius, I must guard my time zealously. Pig: That gets him out of a lot of things.

Also gets him into a lot of things.

Rat lets Pig take out his trash! How great-hearted a genius!

Combine the three almost-empties and make one semi-full one that Rat might eat. Problem solved.

Rat must not be much of a genius if he could not think of a character for McD’s.

If the opened bags aren’t thrown out it may attract rats.

It’s a miracle. Pig, didn’t act like, a simpleton today

Is that how it works? My wife must be right up there with Einstein because she never throws ANYTHING out.

Which is better: to bear a cross or to cross a bear?

14 (now 15) comments? Wow. This is the lowest I have ever seen (for a new strip).
claire de la lune. about 10 years ago
But honestly, this is not an eventful strip.

I remember there was a hippo one that got under 20, but still.
