    That’s Steph. Forty minutes and still not a prune…

    It had to be a shower. It would’ve been easier and cheaper if he just drew a bath.

    I wonder what kind of “grass” Steph planted.

    Please, Steph’s wife, take him back; Rat can’t take it anymore!

    If Steph is killed by one of his own creations would the creations no longer exist??

    I blame Rat for this – he is the one who keeps saying Steph’s all wet

    Drought, Stephan.I’ve been asked to remind you that we’re in a drought.

    Rat is unaccustomed to having such a disruptive creature as Cartoon-Boy in the house. But getting stuck with a high water bill is perhaps incentive for him to get a steady, paying job!

    Thanks, Susan, for reminding us of California’s drought. Maybe water-wastefulness is why Staci dumped Stephan, forcing him to sponge off of his cartoon characters—especially his alter ego, Rat.

    I’m guessing Pastis still lives in California.

    I wish I were charged based on usage. There’s only one person in the house, and use only a fraction of the minimum charge (which is quite large.)

    I agree Anonymous… Gotta be Cali. That’s the only state that has such lousy planning that they have a water shortage because minnows and some wild flower are more important than people.

    Stephan, we’ve talked about this before. PLEASE put some clothes on before you go traipsing about the house. What are you trying to do, ruin what’s left of my eyesight?

    Um, wouldn’t that be 50% higher, not 300%? Of course, a human IS bigger than a rat and (most) pigs…

    They must be in California. And yes, our water policies are very bad. We won’t be ready for the floods that come next either.

    Get your bids in early, ladies. With a body like that, Steph won’t stay homeless long.

    Time for Rat to call Steph’s wife and pay her to take him back (or have duck threaten her)

    Wait, is that Stephan Pastis or my “I need to take an hour long shower and then another half hour to dry off, brush my teeth, and do my hair in order to get ready for work,” sister disguised as Pastis? I think it’s my sister.

    while 3% of the time in the shower is cleaning myself, the other 97% is “mm hot water”
