    A little early for the fantasy drafts Pastis though the true fantasy nerds really do their research year round to try and get an edge over most of us who start to take notes after the first pre-season game.

    Not the first time Pastis has parodied this. Check out the strip from October 19, 2014.

    Somehow I find it hard to believe that Pig is friends with Howie Long. Maybe it has something to do with football and pigskin.

    These two need to learn better communication skills. But at least it’s good to see Pig drive Rat up the wall like that, albeit without realizing it.
