Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2015
Transcript:
Goat: Heard you're sick, Steph. Just remember - feed a fever, starve a cold. Rat: I thought it was 'Feed a cold, starve a fever.' Goat: I'm pretty sure it's 'Feed a fever, starve a cold.' Pig: I heard it's 'Feed a beaver, starve a cod'? Guard Duck: I heard it's 'Feed Tom Seaver, starve A-Rod.' Stephan: ENOUGH! Rat: Let's just starve Steph on principle.

The rule is, âIf youâre hungry, eat.â

Steph getting a bit of his own medicine.

Theyâre all wrong. Itâs feed a cleaver, starve a bowl.

Why not just draw a genius doctor with a miracle cure, Stephan? What am I thinking? Thatâs not funny!!!

I thought it was âif itâs red, raise the head; if itâs pale, raise the tailâ. Or is that for something else?

I find a nice alternative is curl up in a corner and gently weep until I feel improvedâŠ

At my favorite restaurant/bar they serve a âhot toddyâ that consists of a shot of âBĂ€renjĂ€gerâ (honey liqueur), a shot of âArmagnacâ (brandy), and a dash of lemon juice. It is warmed and then drunk when itâs still hot. Itâs pretty tasty and makes me sleep like a baby.

Ratâs right. Cartoon Boy could stand (or remain lying down) to lose some of that belly he sports.(But I think Goat is correct about the aphorism.)
mammamoonbeam over 9 years ago
Rat is correct. Itâs feed a cold, starve a fever, but what if you donât have either?

Actually latest studies prove both wrong. You should feed both cold and fever, preferably with high nutrient foods with emphasis on veggies & fruits.

âŠ. and the kitty asked, DO penguins have knees? (p.s. swipe right) ;)

I like chicken noodle soup when Iâm under the weather.

Itâs âFeed a Vole, Starve a Weaverâ.

Acetaminophen is only poisonous in large amounts. Like Evan Walker honey bourbon. Or virtually anything else you can name. If you donât like acetaminophen, fine, but letâs tone down the scare-mongering.

Stephan wears his cap in bed?

To add insult to injury, DST ends this weekend. Fall forward, spring back.

Steph would do a lot better if he Banned all Visitors!
AdriLeemput over 3 years ago
well, it would make sense that Stephan dies (or gets more sick) because of stupid puns. Irony, karma, divine justice âŠ.
