Morty Comix # 2319




Morty Comix # 2319 was left inside a tabletop advertisement for, I think, some kind of beer. This was in one of my favorite places to go eat, a Mexican cuisine restaurant in Elma, Washington.

Last month I leased a Kia Soul with a "Cat Folder" button. Now I'm leasing a Chevy Impala with these buttons to eject cats from the car! Probably the sun roof opens and the seat boings upward due to a giant spring under the cushion. Weird.

The car has California plates, so maybe this is something they do down there but is as yet unknown to us behind-the-times Washingtonians hiding up here in our overcast corner.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Catch Me If You Can

"Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse."
