Transcript:
Rat: Look, Pig, it's a message in a bottle. Trapped on island. Situation dire. Help. That was from my husband. He is on vacation with me and my parents. I hardly think that qualifies as dire. You've never met her parents. Pig: This is getting ugly. Rat: Look, she has a retort.

I must admit, Rat is being less obnoxious than usual today.

Was the husband hoping of having the island vacation with just his wife and she suddenly invited her parents?

Probably an unintended pun in that such a large jar can serve as a canning or pickling retort….

If there’s a larger bottle, the husband will be in it, holding onto the cork as tightly as he can.

1) Fan mail from some flounder?
2) It’s hard to believe I’m the first person to make THIS remark…maybe Susan Sunshine is on vacation?!?

i’d say the guy on vacation is in a bigger pickle than the pickle jar. right now, he’s trying to figure out why he got married, anyway. been there done that(not cause of my in-laws though, they were lovely)

Cartoon-Boy is The Best Newspaper Comic Stripper of 2015?Okay, congratulations, even though I don’t read print edition newspapers anymore (just their digital versions). This isn’t like being designated band conductor on the Titanic, is it?
Should we call the message-in-a-bottle lady long-winded for her retort? Or just Economy Sized?

If the parents are anything like their daughter, she’s just made the case for her husband.

Have to feel sorry for who ever find the bottles, in this case Rat and Pig. Trapped in the middle of an argument like that.
