Transcript:
Rat: What happened to you? Pig: I don't know. I was sitting here watching TV and everything went black. Rat: Looks like someone hit you on the head. There's a big bump. Pig: Who could have hit me on the head? There was no one else home? Goldfish: No one ever suspects the goldfish.

It is clear that oxygen deprivation resulting from his recent mishap has turned sweet, innocent Gomer Goldfish into a revenge-seeking homicidal maniac-stalker! Pig is just the first victim. (Cue scary music.)

I remember that, Dukedog. Came out in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine in the seventies. I was just remembering that story the other day.There was a copycat story in which the woman was making several loaves of bread, put the knife she stabbed her husband with in the centre of a loaf and threw it into a deep ravine after the cops left, taking with them a free loaf.

Maybe Gomer is in the pay of the sea anemones. He needs a good halibut. I mean, alibi.
