Series/Important Strips in the book
August 2006
August 7–9: Rat uses one of the crocodiles to replace his shift at Joe's Roastery. While Rat was on the phone with Gary, Joe's Roastery's manager, who is angered, Rat said the croc would only kill "self-absorbed bookworms". Right that moment, the replacement crocodile had eaten a customer. The croc was then fired.
August 13–17: Rat got a letter from the National Cartoonists Society explaining how only two comic strips at that time allowed their characters to age, making the rule that currently syndicated comics will advance their character's age to the current date of the strip. The next strips tell about how "The Family Circus" aged and their adventures, as 50-yr. olds.
August 18–19: Pig wants to visit the South Pole to visit his friend, Ollie the Penguin, who has an overprotective mom.
August 21–26, 28: The crocs attend a college, sleeping through their studies, answering questions wrong and writing un-related answers to questions and essays.
September 2006
September 1–2: Rat poses as Chi Chi Perón, Preacher of the Stars, who talks to the stars about who will go to Heaven or who will be condemned to a life of eternal torture.
September 4–5: Rat works for writing ads for a doorknob company, using profanity in his taglines.
