Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 22, 2014
Transcript:
Pig: Whatcha doing, Rat? Rat: I"m hypnotizing myself. The doctor said it might help me get rid of all these faceless people that follow me. Pig: Oh. Then I'll be quiet. Rat: Good. Because right now my brain is very open to the power of suggestion. TV: Pillsbury crescent rolls... Made with the finest pillsbury dough. Rat: That includes the T.V. Pig: Sorry.

It’s a good thing it wasn’t the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man or else Rat would be in really big trouble…

They’re not faceless anymore, but they’re still pasty.

Let us not leave Pig off scot-free here! He turned on the TV, and by Rat’s bad karma, that Pillsbury ad happened to be on, the one with the giggling Dough Boy. Pig’s reckless behavior precipitated Rat’s latest dream-delusion.

This story arc peaked on Wednesday, but Pastis doesn’t believe in ending after he’s made his point. I really think the one-off pun strips are his strong suit. He tends to drive story lines over the cliff.

I can think of a lot of things that would have been far worse than the PDB.

I thought it a clever ending to the arc.

This is quite obviously a nice homage right back to Bill Watterson (Calvin’s snowmen series of strips). I’m frankly quite surprised that nobody else has made this connection already.

@packratjohn – You are supposed to think of nothing, not inoffensive things. Did Ghostbusters teach you nothing?!

Not unlike the “hate” sowed by those on the left who continue to perpetrate the myth that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house.
