Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 01, 2013
Transcript:
Rat: What are you up to, Goat? Goat: I have to run home and write a paper on a foreign dictator for his college class I'm taking. But I can't decide who to write about. Pig: Hmm. Goat: What's the matter with you? Rat: He had his wisdom teeth taken out and they gave him some painkiller, so he's talking a little slow. Pig: Sad. Goat: Aw, don't be sad, Pig. I've had my wisdom teeth taken out. The pain goes away. Pig: Damn. Goat: Well, it's no reason to swear. That's not like you. Pig: Who? Goat: You, Pig, you. Gosh, it sounds like those drugs are making you a little insane. Pig: Sane. Goat: Well, you don't sound like it to me. You sound- Great idea, Pig. Thanks. Pig: You're. Rat: What the @*&# just happened? Pig: Wel come.

Well, Pig is slow; but usually Rat is faster than that.

I think those drugs actually made him a little smarter.

For once, Rat was the one without a clue, not Pig.

The small cel where Goat is alone is where Goat realizes what Pig actually said.

This one I saw coming immediately. It’s getting harder to fool us. Still the best strip.

‘Tis a pity Pig doesn’t realize just how funny he is! Maybe he ought to have his wisdom teeth pulled more often.Also, one must acknowledge the dogged ingenuity of Cartoon-Boy’s wordplay….

Sister’s one word telegram from the auction win to two slow brothers to pick up the big cow: “Comfortable”Come For Ta Bull :P

Pulling Pig’s wisdom teeth seem to have given him more wisdom. I’ve never seen him give Goat a good idea before.

most of you are probably too young to remember Idi Aman, but he was a very bad egg.
patsysutcliffe Premium Member over 11 years ago
spelled it wrong, I’m sure. Idi Amin, maybe. too lazy to look it up. Anyway, the country was Uganda.
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
I think mine was too subtle.LOL
pam Miner over 11 years ago
I liked it I also like Barack who’s sane Obama.
punmeister over 11 years ago
Uganda check my spelling too? Idi Amin was Amin Gorme.

I think you missed the ironic tone of the original post, JPuzzleWhiz. That’s the problem with the written word — sarcasm and irony don’t always come across the way they do in the spoken language!
