Thing is, if you, like myself. are not really sentient until about 10a.m. (truth) that routine is what gets you to sentience while you can’t really think. I can barely HEAR before coffee and 10 o’clock. And yes, when I worked I found jobs that allowed me to NOT get there at the ungodly hour of (shudder) 8 and which I could navigate on autopilot until the brain kicked in. My husband, on the other hand, comes from a family of four . Bless his heart. When he tries to converse with me in the morning, he speaks slowly and waits for me to catch up. He’s a good soul
I’m reading this comic on Tuesday evening instead of my usual day. Altering routines should be easy. Of course, my routine is to read a week’s worth of Pearls every Saturday evening.

So of course Pig had to get up early and make coffee so he could meet Goat at the diner for coffee. Wait … what?

That’s not the morning routine I would have expected from Rat. The exploding brain part, yes. But not the rest.

If your morning routine is interrupted, the whole day gets somehow out of whack. Nothing goes right.

On one hand, Rat’s usually a smug so and so and can deal with change for one morning. On the other hand, morning time is sacred!

I would’ve expected Rat to aim his head at the offender. To see Pig unharmed in the last panel is the un-punched punch line.
