Strip by: Max

Michael: Dad… I know how you think I’m a failure as a son… my ballet and all… But I’m gonna try once more. Dad, I got myself a dog.
Michael: I know how you think every boy should have a dog… So I bought a German Shepherd… very macho! Here boy!
{Pingu shows up}
Tom: Great Scott. That’s a penguin.
Michael: It is? Oh dear.
Tom: Margaret? I'm going to trade our son in for a new Subaru.
Michael: WHAT?

The author writes:

This was Opus’s first appearance. So I decided to replace him with Pingu.
