Transcript:
Rat: So why'd the feds let you out of prison? Stephan Pastis: I agreed to make 'Pearls' a "lighthearted spoof on the modern American family, sure to induce wholesome chuckles." Rat: That's like almost every other comic on the page. Pastis: Yep, and we're gonna start by introducing a kindhearted mother character... in fact, my very own mother. Mother: Is this the only $*@! beer in the house? Rat: Maybe we won't be like every other comic on the page. Pastis: Language, Mom. Language.

They tried to brainwash cartoon-Pastis, but he outwitted them! Welcome, Greek, ciggy-dangling, potty-mouthed cartoon-Mama Pastis! I foresee a long and exciting acquaintance.

My Mom never drank beer, but she could get potty-mouthed with the best of them if you pushed her too far.

I can see mom and Rat are gonna be best friends. I wonder if Rat is gonna make Pastis call him dad?

Totally reminds me of Craig Ferguson. He’s always getting yelled at for his language and lack of being like any of the other talk shows. Yea Stephan! Yea Craigy!

Considering that it’s Rat’s fault the strip has to change, I think it would have been even funnier if it had turned into another “Family Circus,” causing Rat to cry out, “WHAT HAVE I DONE?”

“I wanna gal just like the gal that married dear old dad”. I’m afraid to ask what tatoos Mom might have. And where!

Is she complaining about the beer quantity or quality?

Oh Lord. That’s just what that strip needs: More smoking and drinking characters!
