In this colorful MUTTS strip, Chickpea and Chickpea's brother discuss their adoption story. "It wasn't too long ago we were abandoned in a parking lot." Chickpea replies, "It wasn't too long ago we were living on the streets." "And it wasn't too long ago we were caught and put in a shelter." Chickpea continues, "Yes, and it wasn't too long ago we thought we would never leave there." "And it wasn't too long ago we were adopted by 'our Jenny.'" Chickpea replies, "And it wasn't too long ago we were made a part of her family." "And it was only an hour ago that we sat on her lap and gave her more 'thank you' kisses!" Chickpea asks, "Has it been that long!?!"
