Two Lumps [[Snooch, sitting in a chair, and Ebenezer, on the floor, are looking at the computer screen]] / Snooch: "Try this tip, discovered by a mom, for white teeth!" "one weird tip, from a single mom, to tighten abs!" What's this stuff? / Eben: The eternal spam machine rolls on.l / Snooch: No, I mean, mom's awesome, but what does she know about dentist stuff? / Eben, walking away: Amazingly, some people think that the less qualified a person giving advice is, the more "folksy" and therefore valid it is. It's a human thing. / [[Snooch, grinning, taps at the keyboard]] / On computer screen: LOOSE WEIHT NOW!!! THIS !!1!! WEERD TRIK FOUND BY A CAT WILL SHED THE POUNDZ!! MAIL ALL YUR FOOD TO_
Two Lumps [[Snooch is sitting wearing a blindfold with a kanji on it]] / Snooch: Winter chill is here. / [[Background is now a snowy scene with a glowing red Japanese structure]] / Snooch: Silent snow blankets the world. / [[Snooch is sitting in a bread basket]] / Snooch: Fresh rolls keep butt warm.
Two Lumps [[Snooch comes racing into the room, where Ebenezer is laying on the couch]] / Snooch: AAAAHHHH! MOM'S A WITCH! She's stirrin' a huge pot an' cacklin' an talkin' 'bout Wart of Sparta! / Eben: And yet, you look decidedly un-newt-like. / [[Snooch now sits wide-eyed]] / Snooch: It's gonna be Tail of Cat next, I bet! / Eben: Chill, fuzzbucket. She's just brewing beer. "Sparging the wort" is just part of the process. Got it? / [[Snooch grins widely]] / Snooch: Wait... She's like Glinda? The Good Beer Witch of the South? / Eben: Close enough. Go practice your flying monkey imitation.
Two Lumps [[Snooch is looking out the window and it's pouring down rain]] / Snooch: Benny! / Ebenezer off panel: Argh. What? / Snooch: I know rain is water falling down, but how does it get up in the sky first? / Eben off panel: Evaporation. You know how there's steam when Mom boils water? / Snooch: Yeah? / Eben off panel: The steam is water. It goes up in the air until there's enough to make it rain. / Snooch: Mom needs to cut back on making so much tea.
Two Lumps [[Eben and Snooch are standing by a bag of jellybeans. Beans are scattered on the floor.]] / Snooch: Hee! These All-Flavors Jellybeans're neat! An' some are gross! What do you think the grossest flavor is? / Eben: Cat Flavor would be the most disturbing. / Snooch: Ewwww! I'd never eat that one! / Eben (walking away): But how would you know that's what flavor it was, unless you were already a cannibal? / [[Snooch sits frozen, eyes as large as saucers, tail standing straight up.]] / [[Night has fallen. Snooch sits frozen, eyes as large as sauchers, tail standing straight up.]]
 
Two Lumps [Same scene as previous comic. Snooch is sitting, eyes as large as saucers, tail sticking up straight. Eben walks into the panel.] / Eben: Oh, chill out, Fructose Avenger, it was a joke. You lick yourself all the time. You KNOW what Cat tastes like. / Snooch: Oh, yeah. Haven't run into that flavor yet. / Eben: Looks like luck continues to favor the stupid. / Snooch: Ya think that flavor is really out there? / Eben: Somehow I doubt "Butt-Flavor Beans" made it past marketing.
Two Lumps [[Snooch is lying prone. His legs are splayed out, his whiskers are limp, he's wall-eyed, and little bubbles are rising from his head. Ebenezer is sitting nearby. There's also a cup.]] / Snooch: I feel like I licked a tar pit. / Ebenezer: That's what you get for drinking so much last night. Here, you have a leftover cup of beer. A little hair of the dog might help. / Ebenezer: Whoa. Why the death glare, Sisyphus? / Snooch: YOU PUT DOG HAIR IN MY BEER??? / Ebenezer: It's just an expre-- / Snooch: WHY DID YOU PUT DOG HAIR IN MY BEER???
Two Lumps [[Ebenezer and Snooch are sitting in front of a television.]] / <<*Thweet*!>> / Snooch: YAY!

Down. / Ebenezer: Once again: a touchdown is when they get the ball to the end zone. / Snooch: Next you're gonna tell me there's no big bowl of food. / Ebenezer: No, no, I'm not.

You don't even follow football. / Snooch: WHO DAT? / Ebenezer: Ah. Head stuck in a sock again. / Snooch: WHO SAID DAT? WHERE AM I?
Two Lumps "Mom": Wait, you're sending me...a whole lutefisk? / Snooch: What's a lutefork? / Ebenezer: Lutefisk. It's basically a dish made from cod. / "Mom": Oh Gramma, you shouldn't have. No...REALLY. / Snooch (grinning): We're getting a GIANT FISH? / Ebenezer: I'd curb that excitement if I were you. / [[The cats are sitting in front of a food dish full of glop, from which arises wavy lines of stinkiness topped with a skull and crossbones.]] / Snooch: THERE IS NO GOD. / Ebenezer: The things people will do to perfectly viable food.

Two Lumps Snooch: Man, when Mom said they were slow gettin' the lights back on she meant it! Is the dimmer on or somethin'? / Ebenezer: Those aren't the lights, resistorhead. That's dawn. / Snooch: Wo. I can't remember last time I was up this early! / Ebenezer: Do what you like. I'm going to sleep through as much of the blackout as I can. / Snooch: Oh hey! It's Saturday! Cartoons're on! Where's the remote? / Ebenezer: Screaming realization in three... two...
Two Lumps Snooch: Dying of...no TV...all day...ever'thin's gettin' dark... / Ebenezer: The sun's setting, Ennui McNugget. Looks like we're in for another cold, dark night. / Snooch: WAT. / Snooch (in flames): NO. I WILL NOT SIT FOR YET ANOTHER NIGHT OF THIS. / Ebenezer: Gah! / Snooch: IF THEY DON'T FIX THE POWER RIGHT NOW I SWEAR BY THE BLOODSTAINED CROWN OF SNUFFLEUPAGUS THAT I WILL-- / <<*bzoink*>> / Snooch: Yay! It worked! / Ebenezer: You can't just threaten the power back on...but under the circumstances I'm not arguing!

Two Lumps [[Ebenezer is walking towards Snooch, who is lying down in front of a bowl.]] / <> / Ebenezer: Where'd you get milk? I thought everything in the fridge went bad during the outage. / Snooch: A couple days ago, this was vanilla ice cream. / Ebenezer: I don't know whether that's revolting or brilliant. Let me try some! / Snooch (lashing his tail): DON'T MAKE ME CUT YOU, BENNY. / Ebenezer (ears back): Yeesh, fine, I'll get my own drink. Maybe the milk hasn't gone too sour. / Snooch: Tell it I said hi. When I checked it was tryin' to d'scover fire.
