Pig: Hey, Goat, want to come with me and Guard Duck on our journey through space? Goat: Hahaha... well, gosh, Pig, I'd love to play with you two in that big cardboard box, but I've gotta run to the bank... so you guys have fun. Duck: He looked surprised when the rocket boosters kicked in.

They had better watch out for the R. U. Sirius, because Brewster might think the box is his and take away their ship.

I like the way Pig’s helmet says “Hi, my name is Pig.” Is he planning to make contact with some friendly aliens?Also, Pig’s helmet doesn’t appear to be connected to an air supply. How does he breath in space?
