    What I mean is, as a ten year old, I broke my heart spending a couple of months worth of allowance on a board game “for the whole family.” They all thought it was stupid and we never played it.

    How did rat end up on the biker’s stool?

    Given Rat’s frequently violent nature, does Pig really believe that Rat would have reacted any differently than the biker had the arrow been pointing in his direction?

    Hey folks, thanks! But it is just one of the many poignancies that we all acquire, and I am well over it, forty plus years have passed.I am looking forward to a great Christmas, if I can stop and do some shopping beforehand (I am at work now – can’t complain).BTW, the game was called “Hands Down”.

    Especially when the biker’s name is Angry Bob.

    I’m loving the portrayal of “Angry Biker Bob”. Also like how Rat calmly watches the entire scenario play out . . . without a single word or expression!

    I love how there’s one punch line panel and then a 2nd – which is even better!

    I really felt a twang of sympathy for Pig today. His idea seemed so good, too. Poor guy.

    Did you and Break of Day’s Nate Fakes plan this together? I love it when comics on the same day make such similar jokes. http://www.gocomics.com/break-of-day/2011/12/18,

    looking at the counter in front of the vested yet shirtless biker, you can tell that he had a bone to pick with someone.

    Right idea, wrong side of Rat. But, of course, Pig would’ve been beaten up either way. Lose, lose situation.
