    Strike up the Beer-on-Belly Polka, band-guys! —Followed by a Dirge for Terra. It may be pointless, but it might as well be fun!

    OK, another reason NOT to use speaker phone, beyond it’s just plain annoying.

    I come from the future. The first BIG one hit ten days after all the nations of the world united and declared peace, and 2 days after the terrorists of the world said Hey, blowin’ people up is boring…Just your luck…sorry….

    Funny, I thought clocking someone after they ask you to help with their garage is a clear enough refusal. (July 23, 2012) Apparently, Goat just won’t give up on getting Rat to help.

    Typical. Find any lame excuse not to do something he promised. Yet if someone promised Rat they’d help him with something and then had to back out because they were in the hospital after getting seriously injured in an accident he’d go there and beat them up for breaking their promise to him.

    Scattering all of that dust in the air may help offset man made global warming.

    This inspires a whole new image for the phrase “beer belly”.

    If it was important, Goat would have kept the garage tidy first off.

    Are there really 47,000 asteroid that could decimate our planet, or is Rat pulling facts out of his gluts again?

    Pig has his priorities straight. I for one will be joining him this afternoon with a nice cold one, although not sure I will balance it on my stomach.

    @doctor toon: what a travesty (and I don’t mean the part about cleaning the garage)! There’s a sweet little beer that needs a home and you’re not going to adopt one (or six)?

    @Bliss:False Dichotomy Fallacy. There are more options available than “Do nothing” and “Live like a caveman.”

    @denis1112:Strawman Fallacy. Rockngolfer did not advocate nuclear winter.Antarctica has been losing approximately 24 cubic miles (50 gigatons) of ice a year since 2002.Natural temperature variations occur over thousands of years, not the decades we’ve been observing.

    But we’re here to discuss comics…

    The number of potentially hazardous asteroids NASA found was 4700 not 47,000. Not that that is reassuring either, but still..

    One good thing about rat: In the second panel, he says “lying” instead of “laying.” I intended to put this before seeing an example of alternate usage. My primary-care physician says, “Lay down.” Whatcha gonna do?Sisyphus is losing.

    Doesn’t look to me like goat needs to clean his garage – you can still see patches of floor & hardly any dirt. It should look like Luann’s bedroom or Fibber McGee’s closet before I’d even think about cleaning it.

    Actually if you are reffering to this past Monday’s strip, Goat, Rat beat you when you explained why he should help you in the first place so Rat has all the reason to drink beer on a hill.

    THings are so bad in the environment that sometimes it seems we all better just lie in the grass and drink beer.The ones who could make a real difference in whether the earth makes it or flames out in hellish heat, they don’t care as long as they get filthy rich doing it in.
