Goat, should you really be asking Rat this question?

While I like Goat, he tends to be a glutton for punishment. Hey Pastis, where have Zebra and Larry and croc family been?

Maybe he should “conversate” with them before “flatterizing” them. (Auto correct didn’t like what I did here).

Oh, you clever Rat! Rat lured Goat straight into that one….

A fun game to play with comics is when you are reading the strip, at what point do you imagine a “triggered” or “woke” person will become activated!!!
For example, at the end of panel #2, I thought maybe.
