"Well, well, well... If it's not our artistically challenged creator, Stephan Parstis..." "Not today, Rat... I'm having a real bad day..." "Oh, no!... Did you try to draw a table and fail?!" "Listen, for your information, I had to take Biff the crocodile and put him in my backyard." "Isn't that one of those dumb crocs that live next door to Zebra?" "Yeah... And Biff's the dumbest... He's the first character I've ever created who simpy can't take care of himself... I had no choice but to take him home, where at least I can protect him..." "Dude, isn't that like the ultimate humiliation for a crocodile to be chained up and domesticated like a common dog?... What's he gonna say to his fellow crocs?" "Listen, dude, it's either that or he starves or walks in front ot a bus or something... And besides, I didn't tell him why he was being put in my backyard... Who knows what he's thinking?..." "...Me a baaaaad man." "Bad? You sad." "Sad? He pathetic."
