Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 16, 2012
Transcript:
Pig: Do you think it's wrong to single out someone because of their nationality and tell them you no longer want them to live? Goat: Of course it is, Pig. That's very racist. Pig: Because I saw a man doing that to Thai people. Goat: What?? That's horrible!...Lead me to him right now. Goat: Pig?... Pig: Yes? Goat: This guy didn't happen to be selling t-shirts, did he? Pig: Yeah, he was doing that, too. Look... Man: TIE-DYE!...TIE-DYE!...TIE-DYE!... Goat: Slow idea week? Stephan: Sorta. Pig: Booooo! Racist t-shirts! Booooo!!

When even Goat starts complaining, you know there’s trouble.

Yeah, Pastis just lost his only remaining ally with that one. Now even Goat hates him!

This isn’t the first time that Goat has complained about one of Stefan’s puns. Still, it’s funny to see Goat and Pig rather than Rat confronting Pastis at the end.

I like the panel showing Goat slowing to a walk as he realizes who is making the complaint and what it means.

I like it best when rat tries to prevent these from occuring again. Like with the shotgun or the gas can.

Reminds me of the back cover of Julie Brown’s Goddess In Progress album, where they mention she works in the Curl-Up & Dye beauty salon.

I agree, the panel showing the “comes the dawn” moment in Goat’s eyes is super funny.

I’m waiting for it to escalate. You’ll know that Pastis has finally gone too far when Pig starts complaining.

In this strip, Paris Goat cements his position as the smartest critter in Pearlswood by figuring out how Pig “thinks” before they even reach the punchline.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Rat’s not here today because he went to Thai Wun Onn; apparently, he goes there frequently.

I hate all American’s, what race does that make me racist against?
Not really but my point being that nationalities aren’t really a race, there are actual races for that. One could hate all people of a certain nationality and not actually be racist against any partcular race.
If I were to say I hate all French people, there is jew’s that is part of that, does that make me racists against Jew’s? there is also islamic people, make me racist to them? I think not…too many people take things too personally these days and go out of their way to label others.
Remember to get offended is a conscience choice, much how if someone is insulting you, that you can get upset over it and return the anger or let it go and not care.
