Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 15, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: What does it mean to be drunk? Rat: Being drunk is when you have the worst coordination, the worst perception, the worst judgement, and the most confidence about all three. Pig: That doesn't sound safe. Rat: Hey... Think I can jump and land on Andy Capp's head?

Dispatch, we have a drunken mouse who is about to kill Andy Capp’s head.

Nah, that stupid mouse will hopefully just kill himself.

Given Andy’s condition today, he will not feel anything.

Or not…

Yay! Topeka Capital-Journal dumped For Better or Worse re-runs this week and added Pearls to its comics page.

The only thing rat needs to worry about is his beer, because it wont be his much longer

Andy Capp is way down at he bottom of my page and Pearls is near the top…
From here, he’d probably fall right into today’s Ballard Street and cause even more havoc than what there already is.

Hang 10 & shoot the curl Rat…

It’s like being drunk … through a straw …“What’s so bad about being drunk?” “Ask a gin & tonic.” HGTTG

Maybe he will land in that Dragon’s mouth from The Wizard of Id.

Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!

You won’t hit Andy from that side..“That Ole Janx Spirit”.

On the ArcaMax site, where I preview PBS before seeing it here and commenting, Rat in his drunken stupor is on the wrong side of the strip to jump to Andy Capp’s head—there, AC’s head appears just below the left side of Pearls… in their list of comic-icons…. Sober up, you disgraceful, disoriented rodent!

Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

I guess I have a strange sense of humor. I like today’s strip and laughed. That’s extremely rare. Also, rat is not unlikeable in today’s strip! That’s almost as rare.

In my email comics Andy Capp is at top and Pearls is much lower. This gag seems to have been written with great confidence that strips are always stacked in a prescribed order!

The best stories start with “Hold my beer and watch this.”
Peam Premium Member over 11 years ago
Hmm. How long’s Rat been needing a shave?
AlonzoQuijano over 11 years ago
IS ANDY CAPP STILL ALIVE?!?!?!
Number Three over 11 years ago
That is if Andy Capp doesn’t put you in a mousetrap (rat trap)
LOL xxx

“What does it mean to be drunk”… a question a child might ask, but not a childish question.:Name that reference!
eheroking over 11 years ago
Pig, you are now experiencing someone who is drunk.
Popeyesforearm over 11 years ago
Andy will take his beer
blather046047 over 11 years ago
very clever

Our local paper does not carry “Andy Capp”, and PBS is located at the lower right-hand corner of the comics page. Rat would land in the reader’s lap.
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
Nice, MadCow…Did you see that I’d posted my version on Andy Capp?
I forgot to come back then and post it here….
guitarmutt over 11 years ago
Looks like Rat’s on another bender, and he’s bending the corner of the frame!
Rickapolis over 11 years ago
Being drunk sounds just like being a republican.
jimmer256 over 11 years ago
On my page he’s right in front of him so the stupid rat is going the wrong way. Yep, he’s drunk alright.
ricoyl1 Premium Member over 11 years ago
Funny for me because Andy Capp is the next comic on my Go Comics list. Works perfectly.

This is a variation on the well known quote “often in error but never in doubt”.
lizardlover2 over 11 years ago
I like the earlier version of the site. The commenters were all there to enjoy. Sometimes they’re even better than the strip.
water_moon over 11 years ago
for me he’d land in Peanuts

He’s gonna land on Dilbert for me. That worker’s bushy head makes a soft cushion.

If you buy The Star-Ledger, you realize that he’d land in Phoebe and her Unicorn. Not a bad place for a drunk mouse to land. Comedy-wise, that is. Not a bad place….
