* BizarreBelching: In one four-strip story Horse gorges himself on a massive amount of rotten fish-heads. Just as an incredulous Dog muses he can't believe ''anyone'' could eat '''that''' many rotten fish-heads with no ill effects, Horse belches and emits a visible cloud of miasma that kills a meters-long stretch of grass.
Added DiffLines:
