Transcript:
Goat: I get so tired of unmotivated people sometimes. How can someone have no passion in life? No raison 'detre? Pig: Oh. I've got some of that. Goat: That's raisin bran. It's 'a reason for existence.' Pig: Not rally. But it's a pretty good cereal.

Raisen Bran is definitely NOT a reason for existence. It tastes very bad. Chocolate however, is a “raison d’etre”.

I don’t eat Raisin Bran, for two reasons:1. Raisins2. Bran
My raison d’etre is pizza with sausage, olives, and mushrooms. Good eatin’!

Pig’s cup changes orientation between panels 2 and 3, even though Pig is holding the box of Raisin Bran with both hands the entire time. Goat’s cup also changes orientation, but it’s possible Goat rotated it between panels.

I once had a passion to rid the world of stupidity. Now I’m happy if I can limit the stupidity in my life.

Well, we can’t all be as motivated as Goat. Of course his motivation is being pedantic and holier-than-thou. I’ve known too many people who live for that.
