Transcript:
Rat: Look at this... I'm trying to tape down the loose back of the T.V. remote, but the end of my scotch tape roll got stuck somewhere back on the roll. Now it's impossible to find the end, much less peel it off. So now my whole week is ruined. Goat: He's a tad tightly wound. Rat: Well, time the destroy the whole T.V.

But we can improvise tools. There’s an entire drawer full of screwdrivers, tape peelers, pronged pokers, hammers, etc. in the kitchen.

And then go out and buy one of those new 60 inch 3-D LCD LED flat panels, and you might as well pick up a new home theatre system and 3-D Blu-Ray player to go with it. You can destroy them all next week.

Yes, that’s the rational thing to do. Funny that Rat is the only one in the strip WITHOUT a coffee cup – probably a good thing!

‘…the tab on a paper milk-bottle top (anyone else remember those?)’ and the milkman Left the milk in glass bottles on the porch. We started leaving the door unlocked & he would put it in the fridge for us. That way the cats could not get the lid off and drink the cream from the top. Where did those days go when we could leave our doors unlocked?

Duct tape is good for quieting an unruly kindergarten class. However some uptight parents may not approve.

Finally they will have to replace that antique with an LCD flat screen job!

Of course, just starting a new roll of tape is out of the question.

Then when you start peeling, it doesn’t peel straight, it just tears into little triangular pieces
