Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 04, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: Hey Goat, which dictionary do you like to refer to when you have to look up a word? Goat: This friend of main said to use this one. Pig: Why do you listen to him? Goat: Well, he was really smart. Plus, he died, so it's sort of my way of remembering him. Pastis: I sense a reference preference deference remembrance. Pig: He's very annoying.

I’m wondering how long it took him to come up with the key phrase (or if it just popped into his head and he had to do a strip around it).

He had better leave the puns up to the animals. They are much better at it.

That’s nice, Goat.
If Rat were here, Pig he would still hit you with the cricket bat because he’ll think there should be a stronger, more complicated word for ‘ANNOYING’
LOL xxx

Logical Duck about 11 years ago
Someone kept telling me his pet theory that when the world’s wealthiest people start getting together and going about things the same way, it makes the rest of us sit up and take notice. I think he’s wrong and I’m getting sick of hearing about it. I told him: “Enough already with the affluence confluence influence effluence”.
