Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 23, 2015

I know people like that.

Let’s soak Mr. Negative in some chemicals and see what develops.

What’s the name of Negative Nick’s brother: Positive Paul?

So he’s kinda like a photographic negative, only there’s no image left when he gets done.

Need to check this with Neil deGrasse Tyson, because science …

Cheers

No Cousin of Dumbledore or Dark Side jokes yet?

I like Negative Nick’s effect. How shall we explain it? Is he a living mini-Black Hole? Is this a quantum continuum effect? How long does it last? Can it be replicated?

He used to go by another name, Krampus.

Stephan do not leave Nick around to long for you will not have a strip !

Welcome to the darkside.

I’ve never seen a light elimination vortex drawn before – good art!

He’s a solar panel in North Carolina.

Debbie Downers brother.

at least it’s not another neighbor

He’s a human black hole.

Sort of like a…well…human reverse lava light. Spooky!

reminds me of the ex-friend of a roommate whom he described as able to drain the color from a rainbow. he decided she’d make a good housemate anyway when he needed 1. i knew it would turn out badly but i never said i told you so. i’m a better person than rat is

Just in case you find Ebenezer Scrooge to be too cheerful a fellow…

Why does he look like a clergyman?

You Light Up My Life… Not.

There’s a little Negative Nick in all of us, doncha think?

He must have a sister named Negative Nellie.

Now where’s that dark-sucker switch?

I know a woman who would be perfect for him, but I don’t like the idea of her reproducing,
