bicycle delivery by Laura Park
Monday, February 25th, 2008this is exactly how I looked when I ran over the rat while bicycle delivering. But way uglier in real life. Laura managed to cute me up a little. However, certain people (Ma!!) will be glad to know that I now work inside the restaurant- pouring coffee and stealing french fries- and while I do miss bicycle delivering, I don’t miss the snow, wind and rain that made that job miserable.
btw, how fucking cute is this?!

I’m pretty glad you’re not doing that anymore. I was worrying like a Jewish mother.

The problem with working outside in any capacity is that every once in a while you’ll have one of those perfect, sunny, wonderful life affirming nonsense kind of days and you’ll try to convince yourself all the other terrible days are worth it.
That picture is amazing.

That’s pretty damn cute.
That half-rat reminds me of the time some friends and I found half a mouse at the playground when we were like 6, and I picked it up by the tail, and all the girls thought I had rabies for the next year.

I like the way laura did the windows on that green building. You’re both great at doing watercolors!

Love the watercolours!
Did the rat actually explode up onto your face?
I have a recurring shoulder injury that resulted from killing a mouse with a . . .spoon. True story.

That is the cutest bear-ito ever.

I’m curious as to bear socks are available to the general public…I’d like to always have one on hand…you know…in case i need to carry a cub….or fill it with quarters

er…there should be an “if” in there someplace, or maybe a “whether”

I read your blog just about every day, and love the artwork/sketches. This one is no exception. Adios.

They take a bear census?
I wonder if they ask them about their income too.. or how much honey they eat.

I just spent the better part of last night reading through all of Fart Party. This was done so instead of the studying for the Italian test I need to pass as part of finishing college. Now that I’ve come to the most recent and there are no more….I’m a little sad. Thankfully, I am drinking beer at 800am so that helps soften the blow.
Thank you (of a sort)

Hello,
I am new fan. Currently slogging through the archive I’m at April 2007. I found your comic through a link on A Softer World. I’m enjoying your suffering and pain immensely, it inspires me. Thx. The joy is o.k. too.
Do you spend a lot of time looking at the sky when you ride? Cause that’s a pretty huge rat dude. I’m just saying.
I live in Minnesota and ride my bicycle to work from where I park. The only free parking is bout a mile away. Sometimes it gets so cold here I have to sit in my little truck and cry for a few minutes before I can get the spirit up to grab the steering wheel with my still frozen hands and try to drive. Winter sports are my fav.
srsly great comic. rly.

Is that Bikey or Dr. Luv N Bright?

This should totally be made into a greeting card. “Sorry I ran over your rat” or “Having a great day, wish you were here, asshole.”
And yeah, I’m totally queueing up a ton of comments for you to moderate. Running into a new strip that I enjoy is like Christmas morning with thousands of tiny presents, and I don’t have to unwrap anything, just click “next.”
