Best Reason to be Grateful for Your P.E. Class

Aw Yeah Comics: Action Cat and Adventure Bug #1

Best Example Using the "Because" Argument is Silly

Hopefully you're not involved in too many arguments where one party resorts to using "Because" as their reason for something. We see Evil Cat use it, and it doesn't make him sound or appear too menacing.
