Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 18, 2013

Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig, what's the matter with you? Pig: I have a terminal disease. Goat: Oh my God, Pig... Are you sure? Pig: Yes. I caught it in a bus terminal. Goat: Let's start over. Pig: A smelly guy sneezed on me.
Peanuts is/was slightly lame on some day’s, too. It’s still a great comic, and so is Pearls… it reminds me that I go to work everyday, and not everyday is filled with greatness. Some days it’s just about gutting it out. Keep up the excellent work, Mr. Pastis!
What you can pick up at an airport terminal can be even worse than at a bus terminal. Nothing like sitting in close quarters with a bleary eyed coughing international crowd. I know from experience. Picked up something from a sneezing German at LAX on my way to a 3 week vacation in S. America. Spent the whole 3 weeks in bed with alternating chills and fever.
Actually, when Goat said “Let’s start over,” he meant from the very beginning:“Hi there. My name is Paris, but everyone calls me Goat. What’s your name?

Terminal disease? I thought Pig was going to make a joke about computer viruses.

Get some rest, Pig.

Now, in the Covid-19 era, this isn’t so far-fetched, sadly.
