Over lunch last week, my friend told me that he believes that micro plastics are interfering with our cognition. (Perhaps Pig’s confused?) And furthermore, he sees a connection between the introduction of micro plastics in our food chain and the rise in cognitive impairments in our children. I told him I thought it was such an important idea, then I would start looking into it. To me this is a great hypothesis, one that deserves a double blind study. What do you think of his idea?
Math isn’t that hard. It’s just facts. Facts don’t lie and don’t change. Literature is subjective so whether you like something or not has no bearing on anyone or anything else. Understanding of what’s going on in the world where humans are concerned is a conundrum.
Now, pig, you can’t have satan removed surgically. Only Jesus can do that. Then you will see that what is happening in the world is the ushering in of the end times, as prophesized many times thruout the bible.
Removing the Confuser may help with math, but not literature and what’s going on in the world. To understand madmen, you need that bit of madness yourself.
It’s an interesting thought but our bodies are having to cope with so many unnatural contaminants that I don’t know how microplastics can be tested for.

Maybe he should go to the dentist and have some wisdom teeth implanted.

In Pig’s case, the confuser might be his entire brain.

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

maybe Pig you can just stay off the internet?

This could make a good story arc, but it’s probably just a one off strip like most of Pastis’ more recent strips.

The confuser is Satan, Pig. And to get him out of your head, spend some time with some real Bible believers.

Pigs are naturally very intelligent, so maybe his brain just functions differently.

Not sure I’d want to understand ALL of that. Maybe leave some of it in.

So that’s what happened to me when I took calculus – my confuser kicked in.

Math has always come easy for me, (well, up until college) so perhaps not everyone has a confuser.

Maybe he should get a Musk brain implant then Elon can tell Pig what to do all day.

The surgery must fail, otherwise the strip will never be the same starting tomorrow

The real confused is the corporatist media. Actually exercise some skepticism and learn about things for yourself. Try using the brain God gave you.

People buy snake oil, so why not have the confuser taken out of their brain.

Pig will never be the same again without his “confuser”.

In layman’s terms – a lobotomy.

I’ll be interested in seeing the changes in pig in future strips.

Unfortunately for Pig, it is not an extra part that causes this confusion, but rather, some thing that is missing (or not functioning properly).

The procedure should be mandatory, like vaccin… Never mind.

Those millions of maggots who have had the surgery can’t be wrong.

No need for surgery, Pig. Richard Thompson has just what you’re looking for.https://www.gocomics.com/richards-poor-almanac/2020/08/21
