Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 13, 2005
Transcript:
"What's the matter, weebear?" "Today I saw the most depressing thing, Pig..." "...I walked into a giant department store and there, in the center of the store, were the employees, forced by the owners to shout a group cheer for the store itself... A cheer for their employer!" "{And I thought, how awful must it ne to have a low-paying job with lousy benefits that forces you to say a cheer for it." "How have we allowed this to happen to us? I mean, sure, we need their jobs, and sure we need the income they provide, but for the love of all that is holy, can we at least - at least - keep our dignity?" "...THat's not theirs... It's outs." "Hey, guys, not sure if this is a good time or not, but I really think we need to start opening our mornings here at 'Pearls' with a little cheer..." "...Maybe something like..."All praise to Pearls, my brain's so small it whirls in the cavern of my head. Oh, Pearls, thee I wed... I give my sould to thee. I am nothing. Look at me." "...Bad time guys?"
I must confess, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like what Wee Bear describes.
