Goats comic strip from July / 21 / 1998: jon is pathetic, part XXIII (2) How was your date? / Wonderful. It couldn't have gone better. / / You know, it probably couldn't have gone better...I'm seeing her again this weekend. There's no way I can live up to this evening.

So, I thought I'd give you a few reasons to call me back. First, I have 50% fewer parasites than other boys you've dated. / / Second, my extensive collection of Richard Simmons "Sweatin' to the Oldies" videos can provide thousands of hours of entertainment. Third, I own my own stapler, which is a sign of virility in today's work-a-day society.

You don't really want the truth, do you? / No, I suppose not.

You're scaring me. / Don't worry, baby, my wrath can be pretty groovy.
Goats comic strip from August / 05 / 1998: alien pimps and the comics syndicate (4) Neil, baby, you are one swingin' cat. / I look ridiculous. Polyester gives me a rash. / / Neil, this is Muffy.

Goats comic strip from August / 11 / 1998: alien pimps and the comics syndicate (9) So, who are these Comics Board people, anyway? / Oh, just the most villainous scum in the universe. / / The Comics Board is a shadow organization that rules the comics underworld through intimidation and brute force.

Goats comic strip from August / 12 / 1998: alien pimps and the comics syndicate (10) If we don't get a good guest star, the Comics Board is gonna cancel us. / No problem.
