Transcript:
Rat: So if we're gonna manufacture [blank] we're gonna need a shady lawyer like Saul Goodman to protect us. Pig: What actual lawyer do we know who's that unethical and slimy? He might be too slimy. Breaking Rat
Hey Stephan, let’s go get drunk on 6th Street together after your stop at Book People in Austin. Lol. Oh wait, you have to catch a flight to Wichita the next day. Plus, your old lady probably wouldn’t be too happy with you if you went out and partied with a few of your fans. LOL…
Read yesterday’s comments, and I can’t believe anyone would be unfamiliar with Breaking Bad. Even my brother, who basically only watched American Idol, has decided to try it out on Netflix!That’s something that would make Walt say, “I won.”
Aha! It appears Cartoon-Boy is reverting to type. Once slime, always slime, I guess…. But I wouldn’t hire him, Rat. Not only is Pig right, but in addition he has a conflict of interest as well, being your creator and out for a laugh at any cost….
To be fair, Pastis didn’t decide that cartooning “paid better” than lawyering (that would be insane). He just decided to follow a dream, and it worked out well for him. Mainly because he’s a super talented cartoonist.
“Methamphetamines” is a censored word? And that’s too long to fit in his black box. “Blue rock”? “Glass”? “Crank”? “Ice”? “Crystal meth”? Aha. I bet that’s it. Crystal meth. Got it.
Once a little girl and her mother went past a gravestone that said, “Here lies a lawyer and a good man.” The girl saw the gravestone then turned to her mother. …“Mommy? Why did they bury two people here?”…Yeah, too easy, but the Dr Rat story was just begging for this punchline sooner or later (we figured SOMEONE would sue Rat for malpractice before this arc ended).

“Tell you what. I’ll talk to my lawyer. If he tells me to do it; I’ll get a new lawyer.”

Better not pour salt on him, or you’ll need a new lawyer.

But it WOULD be fun.

Is he really a lawyer? In case I ever need one…..

If Pastis teamed with Rat, they could do “Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel” after this.

Rat should never hire a lawyer who would have him as a client.

I didn’t know that Cartoon Boy was a lawyer. This explains why his wife left .

For once, that dumb Pig makes sense.

Way too slimy.

Stephan’s mother should be pleased his law degree isn’t wasted after all.

Hmm wrong character to use as the “Saul” for this run, he does know he got beatup alot by Walt and Jesse right?

You could always hire famed “pig lawyer” Oliver Douglas. He has experience with other animals, too (eg, getting a cow out of the draft).

What’s the difference between a vulture and a lawyer?.....A vulture can’t remove his wing tips!

I thought for sure we would have seen a special guest appearance of attorney Steve Dallas from Bloom County.

Lawyers and catfish, both bottom-feeders……………

I knew those Peanuts characters were shady.

He said that killing all the lawyers would lead to anarchy, which was the first step in overthrowing the government.
Carl Pini Premium Member over 10 years ago
Steve Dallas may still be around.
foxsinger Premium Member over 10 years ago
manufacture what? My word is blacked out. Do I just not get it or is it censored?
Sailor46 USN 65-95 over 10 years ago
I question if Pastis can plan that out. Reading this comic makes me think that he makes a lot up as he goes. Thus his greatness!

That pink shirt, tie and cheesy grin was a mistake.

No clue, therefore not funny. Too bad.

“Better call Stephan”…isn’t as catchy as “Better call Saul”
