Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 28, 2011
Transcript:
Goat: What happened to you? Rat: I got fat. Goat: Why? Rat: To get rich... see, if you're famous and you get fat, all you have to do is get unfat and people will pay you millions of dollars to write a book revealing how you de-fatified. Goat: Maybe you could start by using real words. Rat: Shut up and book me on 'Ellen.' Duck: More cheese-covered fried 'Twinkies,' sir?

Rat missed a step. He didn’t get famous first.
That said ditching weight is a great way to get noticed. I’ve lost almost 50pds since last november. I’ve lost track of the number of people commenting on it. Unfortunately their coworkers/neighbors/family and not hot single girl’s.

Cheese-covered fried Twinkies — Yum. But they forgot the chicken-fried batter and the bacon wrap.

That was not smart. Then again, smarts don’t factor in to whether or not you get rich.

Normally, when people start this process, they’re already rich.

Rat is ready for Dancing With The Stars. None of them are actually famous, either.

Next step: Rat will start a magazine called R, and have his own picture on every single cover. That’s how much of a shameless ego freak he is.

Now that Rat’s filled with twinkies inside of him, someone should deep fry him in fat.
BillWa almost 13 years ago
Actually Rat doesn’t have to lose the weight, he can just spout insanities and stupidities like Michael Moore

I didn’t watch THE OPRAH SHOW very often, but I think people connected with her genuine concern about whatever she was talking about. If she was faking, she did it very well. Ellen DeGeneres has a similar following and her good deeds seem to be genuinely offered.

Clever… notice how Twinkies is in quotation marks in the last panel (as in not twinkies, but artificially twinkie-flavored Brillo pads)
