Goat: The stupid state wants to raise money by expanding the state lottery. Now people will spend more of their hard-earned money chasing impossible odds. Rat: Yeah. That's what's so great about the lottery. Goat: Why does that make the lottery great? Rat: It's a tax on people who can't do math. Goat: Please leave me alone. Rat: Now if we could just tax general stupidity. Pig: Four lotto tickets! I am guaranteed to win!!

Even with superzoom http://assets.amuniversal.com/6d21bce03db401314c8e001dd8b71c47?width=1500 it’s hard to read the newspaper names in each panel. My guesses:
Panel 1: The Standard ExaminerPanel 2: Lewiston Id [Something]Panel 3: Santa Rosa [Something] Dom[Something]
I was too lazy to google to find the full names, but I’m sure someone could!
