In this colorful MUTTS comic, Mooch and Earl stumble upon a picnic basket. Peeking in the basket, Earl says, "Ahh, Mooch... a Fourth of July picnic!" Mooch agrees, "The mother lode." The two hastily eat everything in their basket. Mooch says, "I'm shtuffed." as the two lay down on the picnic blankets, bellies full. Mooch adds, "Now we just wait for the fireworks." as the two actual picnic-goes arrive to find the pair.
