    Topologically a coffee cup and a doughnut are equivalent. That’s why they go together so well.

    The Donut makers were on strike because they want to be paid more dough. They think they deserve more dough. Doughn’t you think they are right?

    Rat does not think Stephan should be able to make dough from this. Stephan believes he should make lots of dough from doing this comic. Do you agree with Stephan? Do you or doughn’t you?
