But does anyone gain anything from the rat leaving the sinking ship, either? The rat would probably drown either way, if the ship isn't close to land. How far can rats swim?

The reason we never see Abby's backpack is because it is too ugly.

Unfortunately, in this case, the small letters are the liars. The product clearly is intended to prevent disease (what's the point of making a medicine to boost the immune system if you don't want it to stop people from getting sick?) Whether it actually does prevent disease is another question.

Marcus doesn't know that Cathy is so obsessed with her weight that she wouldn't have eaten the chocolates anyway. (Unless she knew they were laxatives.)

I think I may have just outdone "O mem sahib, Bart, rabbi has memo."

Someone should pitch this idea to the actual Candygram company.

Unwritten rules are unwritten for a reason. If you wrote them down, they'd usually look so silly that you'd have to reconsider them.

Seriously, there is no species of duck that has white ducklings. (But then, there's no species of duck that speaks English with a Scottish accent, either.)

It would be interesting to see what would happen if nobody actively campaigned for president, and ballots had nothing but write-in blanks. America would probably elect nothing but actors, singers and football players. Okay, rephrase: it would be interesting and catastrophic.

I'm writing this comic on December 14th, 2009. Probably, by the time this posts, "Dollhouse" will have addressed that issue. If it hasn't, it loses a lot of my respect.

Here, once again, we see how Abby can turn any highbrow literary conversation into an orgy of bad puns.

Abby probably would have accepted the gift more graciously if her mother hadn't insisted on mentioning Abby's children.

I don't think anyone would actually sue a company for putting misleading labeling on a can. I mean, unless the labeling failed to inform you of something dangerous in the can, all you'd lose would be the price of one can of food, and that's a lot less than the price of a lawyer.

Sometimes a comic is inspired by reading someone's actual comment on someone else's blog. This is one of those times.

The article in question was in Newsweek a while ago. It was pretty funny, but I don't agree with the whole anti-cellphone message. I actually think cell phones are less noisy than conversations in person. If I hear someone else on the bus having a cell phone conversation, I'm hearing only half as much noise as I would if I heard two people on the bus talking to each other. Even if the cell phone conversation began with a loud ringing sound, the inaudibility of the second party more than makes up for it in terms of total amount of noise.

I've always found it funny that everything a non-human organism does is considered natural, but very little of what humans do is considered natural. It's silly to think of it that way; we're not all that different from other animals. Just more complicated.

Abby doesn't have a sweet tooth, she has a whole sweet skeleton. I think her skull is one of those Mexican sugar skulls.

I think Spanish is a little better than English for making palindromes, because it doesn't have two or three consonants in a row quite as often. (It does have a lot of ch's, though, which are hard to work into palindromes.)

If the prof could foresee such things, then "prof" would be short for "prophet." (Which would start a whole new phonetics discussion.)
