    Rat’s definition makes a lot of sense, I’d roll with it.

    That’s right, Goat. Stop. Stop reading that book. Science has moved past the falsity of evolutionary theory. It’s called the fossil record.

    Grainbelt, she understood perfectly. I married her and she told me.

    “Ta-Tas”. Is that what you kids call them these days?

    Why is Goat shouting while Rat and Pig try to have a serious conversation? Is Goat some kind of trouble-maker?

    Often – but not always – human consciousness overrides natural selection.Perhaps the same would apply to conscious pigs, rats and goats . . . ?

    Tata, boobs, girls, knockers, tities, hooters, bazonga, jugs, handles, breasts, mammaries is there any part of the human anatomy with so many names or so much focus of attention?

    Hence another reason why Rat has no girlfriend anymore. Even Pig’s sister sees him as an idiot.

    Natural selection makes sense. It’s Evolution that doesn’t.

    Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow. Men have hundreds of words for breasts.

    Reminded of a 70’s era Steve Martin routine in which he recited a long list (including “snack trays”) of euphemisms which should never be used for human breasts – suggesting that “Hooters” was the only acceptable label. First time I had ever encountered that nickname, predating the eponymous restaurant chain.

    So, explain Katy Perry syndrome to the rest of us. Or Pamela Sue Anderson for that matter.

    Thanks joshknape! TIL that the reverse of “if you have to explain why a joke is funny, it’s not” applies. Excellent!

    Perhaps Goat feels that their favorite diner isn’t the right place for this conversation, and that they should move it to Hooters.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷H4J, everybody!

    I had to laugh at that one. Rat might have made more sense than Darwin there.

    I love Rat, he has a way of explaining things. Even if he is way of the “PAGE”.

    The most amusing thing about this comic is that Rat actually understands natural selection better than do the creationists, and Rat does not understand it at all!

    Yeah I tend to prefer women with natural chests, because I think there’s a point where the size of the “Enhancements” get ridiculous and end up detracting from the woman’s appearance rather than adding to it. In other news, I am quite pleased we haven’t seen any meaningless fights over evolution.

    In all fairness, if you marry a woman with a naturally flat chest (with implants added afterward or not), you’re more likely to have a daughter with a flat chest… less likely for boys to be beating down your door when she’s a teen. :-s
