    One of those strips where Pastis reaches a little too hard and ends up giving us an extremely lame pun after all that effort.

    If you don’t know what a nugget is, what makes you think they’ll turn you into a bunch of them? They could be made of beaks.

    Look, if I’m going to accept the premise of a talking chicken breast on a plate (waiting to be eaten, no?), then its rather simple wordplay has to be tolerated. Not loved or even liked; just tolerated.Meanwhile, Cartoon-Boy, we’re coming to get you….

    This is bananas! If Stephan’s going to use talking food in his toons, then maybe Rat is justified in going Børk! Børk! Børk! upside his head.

    The chicken breast can relax: everyone know well that there is not actually any trace of chicken breast in McNuggets.

    I was just kidding earlier, of course. I would never really encourage Rat to børk Cartoon Boy, or verbally batter his chicken breast strip. I take the sweet with the sour, and I’m perfectly sataysfied with this one.

    Would brining the breast be considered breast augmentation?

    This was one of those days where the sentiment in panel 4 is correct. Perhaps they should run re-runs when Pastis doesn’t have any decent ideas.

    Well, I know it’s not chicken. The last one I ever ate was breaded fat and connective tissue. Yum.
