The Order of Mouse and Toad



This comic is based on this picture I saw on an inter net, which hurts because it is so cute.

overcompensating

Another week is upon us like a cheetah upon a gazelle. Let us try with all our might to wriggle free of its fierce embrace.

I know it is rude to ask about why people look the way they do... But I'm an American, so being rude is second nature to me. That being said, Mr. Rowland, why is there a red splotch on your right leg in panel 3?

Is it because of a problem?

I really hope you have as feww problems as possible, because I hear problems interfere with the comic creation process.

That photograph also looks pretty obviously photoshopped.

This reminds me of the snake that befriended a hamster in a tokyo zoo (http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1518777)

Somehow it struck me as a disempowering relationship.

that gives me terrors, and not the good kind either. The bad kind of terrors.

On a secindary note me all must bow down to our new Mousey overloards, I for one welcome the change.

That cinches it, Mr. Rowland. I do know at least one web page that you regularly visit, and so does Blog-na, I would suspect. Your wolf spider wants a leg.

Arachnids with necrotizing venom will ruin your whole... well, three or four months.

I hope that spider got eaten by a toad, sir.

I love Cute Overload like a hamster loves broccoli.

Sweet Jimminy Christ! That had to hurt, also your pale leg reminds me of my own.

I'm just stopping by to mention that toads are amphibians, not reptiles.

Oh, and that picture reminds me of the Aesop's fable where the mouse wanted to swim, so the toad had their legs tied together, but then the toad was selfish or something and drowned the mouse, but since the mouse floated, and eagle grabbed it and ate them both. There was supposed to be some kind of moral to the story. I think it was "Don't trust toads".
