Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 1990, features a conversation between a dog and a rat. The dog, who has just returned from the lab with a professor, says goodbye to the rat and comments on its appearance, stating, "That's stupid." The rat responds by saying, "You're getting stupider," implying that the dog's love for it is causing its own stupidity.

The conversation continues with the rat expressing its love for the dog, stating, "He says he loves me. That must be why he fed me so much." The dog replies, "I have to follow my heart," indicating that it is willing to overlook the rat's stupidity due to its love for it.
