Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 27, 2014
Transcript:
Rat: Hey, Neighbor Bob. Heard you're having trouble meeting women your wife left you. Bob: Yeah. I never have anything interesting to say about myself. Maybe the fact that I raise chickens? Rat: There must be something else you can talk about. Bob: Well, I won an academy award. Rat: Holy !@#$! You're a Hollywood type? Women love all that movie start stuff! What'd you win it for? Bob: Best sound editing. Rat: Tell me more about your chickens.

Stick with Rat for a while. A lot of his sounds need editing.

I hope the video-editting award wasn’t the reason Bob’s wife left him.

knowing Rat, he will tell Bob, “you better than Stephan, and I heard his wife is now separated because he is a basket case”

Actually Bob gave up the accordion to become a musician.

Now, you see, right there. That’s an example of the kind of sound you should edit.

That might work as long as you don’t expect the prize -winning rooster and pullet.

“Lad, I don’t know where you’ve been, but I see you’ve won first prize.”

I have a lovely friend who did win an emmy for sound editing. She is one of the smartest, loving, nicest and most interesting and beautiful person on this planet, and would even be kind to Rat.

What kind of chicken(BLEEP) cartoon is this? Disrespecting Sound Editing?! Why, you should have your sound turned off, Cartoon-Boy! Then what would you do with all those empty balloons? -Bang bang!
gzitver about 10 years ago
Rat seems suspiciously anxious to help.
NWdryad about 10 years ago
That is very sad.
unca jim about 10 years ago
Very.
Observer fo Irony about 10 years ago
They probably never heard the synonym for rooster was a cock and pullet was for a hen. Some ignorant people can be real donkeys sometimes.

1) Bob’s award was for putting Marcel Marceau’s dialogue into Mel Brooks’s “Silent Movie”
2) RE:the October 24 cartoon—Paris is going for the Pearls, he’s been Before Swine since early 2001!
I wasn’t near a computer last weekend!

Why does Bob have trouble when he is surrounded by so many chicks? Wrong language perhaps.

Actually one of the guys who contacted me plays the accordion; I don’t really mind, but DID confide that it’s not my favorite instrument.

Robert Rutledge (back to the future). would be the only “Bob” that won for sound editing, Murawski won for film editing, the one who won sound editing for hurt locker was Paul N. J. Ottosson, there were a few Robert that were nominated
