Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 25, 2012

Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig. Where were you this morning? Pig: Visiting my friend, Bob. He's in the doghouse. Goat: What'd he do wrong? Pig: Nothing. Goat: Then why's he in the doghouse. Pig: He's a dog. Goat: Anthropomorphic animal strips are so confusing.
David Letterman used to have a dog named Bob. In the early ā80s, Dave used to show short films shot from Bobās point of view. Bob wasnāt the brightest dog in the world; he died after eating a Presto Log. I hope Pigās friend has more sense.
In the arc where Goat went home to visit his family (and we found out his name is Paris), we saw that he and his mother were the only anthropomorphics in the family; all the others were on all fours eating grass.
āI just saw another of my friends, Bill. Heās out of his tree!āāIs he a lunatic?āāNo heās a raven.āāA raven lunatic?āāNo heās a raven. He was just out looking for food.Then thereās my friend Joe. Boy is he in the soup!āāWhat happened to him?āāHeās a crab. He got caught and made into soup. Oh and I saw another friend yesterday, Bob. He was in a real jam!āāNo let me guess. Heās a bee, or a wasp? And he got stuck in an open jam jar?āāNo, it was our neighbor Bob. Heād just come home from work and was caught in a real bad traffic jam.āāPlease ā¦ make it stop!ā

Goat should have known better than to ask why when Pig said Bob did nothing to be in the dog house.

Yes, but this Bob is famous. He has a show called āBob the Doghouse Builder.ā

While Pig was visiting Bob, did that mean Pig was in the doghouse, too?

So, Mr. Pastisā¦.how confusing is it when anthropomorphic animals DON"T strip?
burleigh2 over 12 years ago
I got it just fineā¦ Pig is too literal to have made a gag like that. Pastis on the other handā¦ he canāt be helped. ;-)
