   I’ve picked up just enough by osmosis to follow most of this. But I think the main point is the over-analysis of trivial things.

   Rather like what I just wrote.

   Separate checks. And each leaves a tip only for his portion. Simple.

   It’s best if he did nothing at all, which at least wouldn’t make it worse.

   The expression is “more fun than a barrel full of monkeys”. It doesn’t directly state that the barrel full of monkeys is fun, only that other things are more so. It isn’t the fault of the monkeys if people take it the wrong way.

   That’s what I was thinking. “Delicious refried beans” is self contradictory.

   Is this a re-run? It’s got today’s date, but I could swear I’ve seen this exact gag before. Maybe a different strip?

   Oh well, maybe just deja-vu.

   If Goat’s friend was named Diglas instead of Douglas, then Pig would be out there now, digging.

   Why? Why would you be surprised?

    That would be sad, if one took the strip seriously. Sedgwick’s father is alluded to but we never see him. Once or twice, perhaps, we’ve seen Sedgwick talking to his father, but the father is “off screen”. I only vaguely recall that Sedgwick’s mother may have been mentioned, but again, we never see her.

    With all parental responsibilities farmed out to a couple of elderly aunts, and to a servant who has no authority to set limits, it’s actually surprising that Sedgwick isn’t any worse than he is.

    But of course, that’s taking the strip too seriously.
