Pete the Pet Rock was a character from another birthday comic I did for my friend Carl (yes, the same Carl who I did a wedding comic for, which started this whole @$$hole! web comic series). Pete was just a rock, but people would respond to him as though he had actually said something. If you want to check out the story, click this link for the first page (and navigate to the subsequent pages).

Laura basically reacted this way when I gave her the box (although she guessed what it was full of before I could give the speech). Here's your sappy ending. Only one more page left in this story arc, and then we go back to color updates on Fridays. I hope you've enjoyed the ride!
