Transcript:
Goat: Do you ever worry about a global catastrophe that could leave us without a food supply? Pig: No. We have an emergency supply of cotton candy in our attic. Goat: That's insulation. Pig: There goes that plan.
Gee, Pig, did you figure out that the pink stringy stuff in the attic was cotton candy all on your own, or did Rat suggest it to you? Anyway, now that Goat has disillusioned you, maybe it’s time for a trip to your local bargain bulk food dealer….
*Stephan Pastis* is off on a “World Tour” to promote not one, not two, but TWO new books! “Timmy Failure: Now Look What You’ve Done,” and the latest “Pearls Before Swine” collection, “Pearls Falls Fast.” We talk about life on the road, how he creates his successful “Timmy” books, and how easy it is to get on the bad side of theme park attendees when you make them stand around and wait as you take photos on a popular rollercoaster for an hour.Tall Tale Radio http://www.gocomics.com/tall-tale-radio/2014/02/27
Well with the drought thinning cattle herds and the baby pigs dying like flies from some virus, all we need is a good bird flu and meat will be too expensive to buy. Civilization and food security is such a fragile thing that’s best not thought about too long.

Had to look twice at the last panel, but it seems like their ears are doing the ‘high five’.

Well, if the catastrophe is that the ice caps melt and the world goes up in flames, you won’t need the insulation anymore.
