The comic follows a red rat and a blue pigeon, both rendered in a watercolor painterly style are having a conversation in a white, paneless void.
At the top of the page, the rat, while seemingly floating, declares, “i don’t know how but in 3 days i drank 21 bottles of water which is insane. i usually only have 1 or 2 glasses of water a day”
The pigeon, who is sitting on an abstracted telephone wire, replies, “Are you okay??”
The rat has now grown bat wings. It sits on a purple floor with its wings spread out wide. It yells, “i’m finally hydrated, i haven’t had a headache in days. i’m reaching my final form.”
The pigeon asks, “Does your final form require cheese?” The rat curls around a large chuck of swiss cheese. It tells the pigeon, “Maybe. i may have evolved but i still won’t cut dairy.”
