Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 11, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: This protest is stupid. Rat: Stupid? There's an entire generation of young men out there who can't get jobs. So instead of buying homes and starting families, they're stuck living with friends in crappy, one-room apartments. Goat: Fin. But what's that have to do with Sesame Street?? Rat: They promote it. Goat: Promote it how?! Ernie: Bert and I would like to go to sleep now. Rat: Pipe down, you brainwashing muppet.

To Yatmanās wife ā Thanks so much for telling us, and for coming back to answer at what must be a difficult time.

Please come back, any time you feel up to it. So sorry for your loss.
