Transcript:
PIg: I wrote a screenplay about this heroic guy, but I think it's missing something. Goat: Have you thought about adding some strong heroine? Pig: Say no to drugs.
Poor Goat cannot win for losing, it seems. Perhaps he should consider a different Animal Farm? (I will be searching with him). Meanwhile, dear, passive Pig appears to have swallowed some Rat poison!
It is called that because it was made as a cure for morphine addiction – the “hero” drug. Now, they are trying to make drugs without a good feeling(or no feeling) that do the job.
Critics would think it was “the best story ever written” if he wrote it on crack or heroin…(Come to think of it, they might like it even better if he wrote it IN crack or heroin!)

Geez! What a dope!

He didn’t add heroin, but he did add cocaine (get it? “crack”?). Sorry.

That should really be a “Smack. . ..”

Crack is whack!
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 12 years ago
Juke…Pig stays away from the smack, even when he’s horsing around…

On the bright side: Pig is writing (!); Pig is against drugs; Pig is more assertive. On the dull side: Pig….

where’s Rat? He’d say- “I wish I”d thought of that".

The detective in my mystery novel used that joke. It fell flat for him, too. www.amazon.com/Unthinkable-Penfield-Mystery-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B006QYVF8K

With Pig’s liguistic background I would imagine that his screenplay is a 30 second Enzyte commercial.

Just hilarious. The last person you expect to get violent. Glad to see he hates drugs too!

And the heroine’s name will be Mary Jane.

Woah! Pig just punched someone?
I find it ironic that the sound effect used was “crack” in a prelude to an anti-drug sermon.

@Goat:You’d better hope Pig doesn’t catch you with some grass.
dfowensby over 12 years ago
apparently pig’ s never got a skag rush. heroin(e) is good for you.
rshive over 12 years ago
This seems a bit aggressive for Pig.
Valis616 over 12 years ago
I tried saying no to drugs, but they just wouldn’t listen…

Hilarious! If the local paper had room for only one strip, Pearls would have to be it. You’re a funny guy, Mr. Pastis!

Pig hit Goat in the nick-o-time, before Goat could invite Pig to have some grass and relax.
Zebrails over 12 years ago
put your nose where your mouth is… after all, that is how a pig eats.
naturally_easy over 12 years ago
I think pig is on something. His behavior is suddenly vlolent. Take note Moms and Dads. That’s a sign!
Katiekicks over 12 years ago
I hate people who pronounce heroine that way
SuperDaveP270 over 12 years ago
Good advice for any aspiring writer

Seriously, how many times has Pig actually smacked someone? Even better, someone as innocent as Goat?
