As many have remarked on other strips, Rat definitely has a drinking problem. Which is what makes him think that another few beers will make his dreams come true. It won’t…it will ensure they stay just dreams.

Doing something in no way ensures anything. Doing nothing doesn’t either. It’s all dice rolling.

Womble — unless, of course, his greatest ambition is to get very drunk.

When I encounter an impedance I resort to my mantra
Ohm Ω Ohm Ω E=IR Ω I=E/R Ohm P=IE (I²R) Ω…Z takes a little more meditation.

Or a six pack, whichever sounds good.

Silly goat, rat had to run to the liquor store because his legs are too short to reach the accelerater……..☻

Rat’s this close to saying, “I love you, man!”

Poor rat: he thinks the gap is narrowing, but it’s really growing wider with every sip. Unless his aspiration is to get blitzed out of his little mind.Shame: he was made for more than that.+++++Wait: no, this is Rat.He was made to be cynical, abusive, and funny.Keep drinking, Rat! Achieve that potential!!!!
