[Panel 1]
[Nils]
....I wouldn't have minded so much
if any of us actually LIKED cats.

[Ginny]
I don't mind cats
in the right place.

[Nils]
Someone else's house, maybe.

[Jaakko]
At home the cats live in the
barn to keep down the mice.

[Panel 2]
[Jaakko]
They aren't treated as pets.

[Ginny]
Do you keep any pets? I assume
that dogs are for pulling sleds,
in your part of the world.

[Jaakko]
I never have, but my sister
usually has a pig or two.

[Jaakko]
She's got a Tuft-Tailed
Hairy Lapp Pig at
the moment. Very
sweet-tempered.


[Panel 3]
[Nils]
As a pet?

DEFINITELY someone else's house!

[Jaakko]
You're just prejudiced.
Pigs are very easy to
housetrain, you know.

[Nils]
I'll take your word for it. So your
sister keeps pigs in the house...

[Jaakko]
And cats in the barn. Yes.

[Nils]
It occurs to me that your
life must always have been
slightly confusing, Jaakko.

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Maybe that's why you sometimes
come over as a bit strange.

[Jaakko]
Maybe it's because you
never had the civilising
influence of pigs that
you sometimes come over
as a bit rude...

[Nils]
It's civilising to sit
with a pig in your lap?

[Jaakko]
Oh, come off it, Nils:
that wouldn't be confused,
it would be just SILLY.
