Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Btw: donât cut parts of yourself off to eat if youâre ever stranded. It might seem like a good idea (nutrition, less cells to feed), but the shock to your body will take more energy than youâll gain. Also, donât drink urine or seawater if youâre stuck without drinking water: it will only make you thirstier.
Remember the one about the traveler who saw a pig with a peg-leg? He stopped to ask the farmer how that happened.
âWaaall, that pigâs somethinâ special. When he was just young, he chased down my youngest and kept him from drowning in the crick. Then when I got trapped under the hay pile when it slid, he ran and got mâ wife to get me out. Anâ thatâs not all, no-sir. Just a last year he followed me out into the woods and sniffed out a $600 truffle. Quite some pig!â
âWow. That is some pig. But howâd he come to have a peg leg?â
âWell, a pig that valuable, you donât eat him all at once!â
Pig might have watched the same documentary about the Donner Party that I did a few nights ago. on NetFlix though I saw it on PBS way back in the â90s. The historical author, David McCullough narrated it.
That would be truly impressive. Iâm familiar with the story of the guy who got himself pinned between rocks while hiking in the desert southwest and cut his own arm off in order to extricate himself. But this would be taking survival to a whole new level.
I think Stephen King wrote a short story using this premise. I think itâs called âSurvivor Typeâ and is in one of his short story collections. âSkeleton Crewâ I think. I know I should look it up, but Iâm too busy reading comics.
âLady fingers. They taste just like lady fingers.â

At least the hiker didnât gain any weight.

This is giving me some recipe ideas. Breasts of chicken, stuffed with dark meat? I will have to try that.

He tried to sue himself but he didnât have a leg to stand on.

Reminds me of my favorite âOther Spaceâ episode, where the âAT&T Girlâ eats her shipmateâs legâŠ.

Yeah, just yesterday he had too much marjoram on his hands.

The hiker was known as Stubby from then on!

Sounds like an Orson Scott Card short story.

Heâs a living leg end.

Pig is he still a hiker with only one leg ? ⊠Croc Power !

So - he came prepared -- in a way.

Read Stephen Kingâs âSurvivor Type.â â âlady fingers they taste just like lady fingersâ

I love more than I should that Pig always has that splotch of ink on his head when he writes.
Kilrwat Premium Member over 4 years ago
Better to eat an arm then. Tough to walk out on 1 leg.
Ellis97 over 4 years ago
Thatâs painful.
Mighty Phavahg over 4 years ago
I guess that makes him ham-handed.

Sounds like he was down to his last leg.

That sounds as gruesome as that one scene from the first Saw movie

Heâll grow many more inches,but wonât grow another foot ;)

Pig obviously uses a fountain pen.

Earlier, he was probably thinking âIâd give my right leg for a good mealâŠâ

Stephen Kingâs short story, Survivor Type.

Reminds me of a chapter in âCandideâ, but I canât remember exactly.

Does that make him a cannibal or not?

He must be a big fan of âAlive.â

That actually made my scalp crawl.

The hiker probably hated the trail mix that he brought along.
Mostroatomico over 4 years ago
I didnât know Pig was a Cannibal Corpse fan!!
knight1192a over 4 years ago
Look at your housemate, Pig, and use what little brain power you have. Rat is extremely full of himself.
asrialfeeple over 4 years ago
Wouldnât it be more logical if he ate his arm? That way he could still walk.
tee929 over 4 years ago
What a hack job!
Otis Rufus Driftwood over 4 years ago
I would think âFull of Himselfâ would be a biography of Rat. In that case, Pig better use a pseudonym.
Sisyphos over 4 years ago
Itâs âlong pig,â Pig. Consider it a cautionary taleâŠ.
