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!
Yammo Premium Member about 12 years ago
He didn’t add heroin, but he did add cocaine (get it? “crack”?). Sorry.

Crack is whack!
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 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….

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
finale about 12 years ago
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.
PatrickASL about 12 years ago
Woah! Pig just punched someone?
I find it ironic that the sound effect used was “crack” in a prelude to an anti-drug sermon.
marshalljpeters Premium Member about 12 years ago
@Goat:You’d better hope Pig doesn’t catch you with some grass.
dfowensby about 12 years ago

This seems a bit aggressive for Pig.
Valis616 about 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.

I think pig is on something. His behavior is suddenly vlolent. Take note Moms and Dads. That’s a sign!
