Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 24, 2011
Transcript:
Zebra: What are you reading, Rat? Rat: Chemistry book. I'm learning all about valence electrons. They're what determine if one element can bond well with another. Zebra: Why do you care about that? Rat: Because knowledge like that has practical uses, you moron. Uses I can pass on to everyone I know who may be dealing with difficult interpersonal issues. Pig: It's not you. It's your valence electrons.

But doesn’t focussing on valence electrons give you a negative outlook?

Rat may be on to something here… after all doesn’t Pigita display frequent examples of electronegativity?

Careful, I think her electrons are in an excited state!

If your electrons are free, you can take them for a spin up or down while particularly waving energetically to the valence band.

Pigita: “Actually, I think I lost all my valence electrons.”Pig: “You sure?”Pigita: “I’m positive!”

It’s fun to try to mess with people to make them unsure if your badmouthing em or saying something disagreeable or whatever.

Pigita’s electrons aren’t into bondage.

“If electricity is produced by electrons, is morality produced by morons?”.No. It’s only ignored by them.

It’s ionic, but they have a give-take relationship: Pig gives and Pigita takes. Especially when she a-salts him.

Maybe Pig just has shy electrons that won’t come out of their shell.

So that’s why Stephan’s been missing from the strip recently… he produced and wrote the hour-long Peanuts cartoon that just aired on Fox!

Panel 4 was deleted due to scenes of graphic valence.

Right on, Pig! You tell that mean ol’ Pigita. She doesn’t mix well with you :)
