Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Rat... want to join the Clive Richardson Fan Club? Rat: Clive Richardson? You mean our next door neighbor? Pig: Yeah. Why? Rat: Because he's not famous. He's just a regular guy. Pig: We all need fans.
I thought Bob the Neighbor was their next door neighbor on one side, and maybe Zeeba Neighba on the other (followed by Larry and Patty’s place). So, when did Clive move in? Can I get a Clive Action Figure, Pig?
It’s time we gave “regular people” their due. Many ordinary people (teachers, scientists, engineers, police officers, firefighters, etc,) have accomplished far more than most of today’s “celebrities”. Especially in an era where people like Snooki and Paris Hilton can be famous for doing absolutely nothing.
As usual, something unusual. My, how I love this strip. Love Pig but identify with Rat. Haven’t thumped anybody in years, though. Honest. And some times don’t count, anyway.
Everyone may need fans, Pig, but everyone does not deserve fans. Rat is the one who gives reason for hope, he is smart and whimsical. I just worry about Pig because he is so happilly dopey. addie
One more reason to love Pig. He is so sweet in spite of all the abuse he he takes from everyone. hope Stephan realizes this. Keep up the good work,, Pastis. Love the strip, it makes my day. Magdala

I get the feeling Rat is going to start a fan club of his own.
Didn’t Joe Walsh say he was just an ordinary, average guy?

Is it sappy to think that people like Pig gives this world hope?

Reasons to be a fan of Clive Richardson:
— He doesn’t keep getting arrested and then getting off light.
— He doesn’t try to make an entire career out of having a nickname for his tummy.
— He mows his lawn (i.e., he actually does something).
— He doesn’t make racist rants and then act like he’s the victim.
— Even when he’s not telling jokes, he’s funnier than Adam Sandler.
Feel free to add to this list.
