Quotes edit see section history

• “'Is. Yes, it's the 'spell-it-backward' joke again,' the Pig said, with some resignation. 'The One just loves those old jokes. The older, the better.' It raised its bristly eyebrows. 'Making a big BANG! sound and running off to hide behind the nearest chunk of physical existence, like some kid ringing the doorbell at Halloween. And the puns. Don't get It started on the puns... you'll be there forever.' It smiled. 'Literally. But what did you expect? Your dog started making universes out of nothing. This wasn't a slight tip-off?'”
