Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 01, 2015
Transcript:
Rat: I've determined that everyone is much too sensitive these days. No one can take a joke. Goat: So? Rat: So I've developed 'Rhinomatic,' a thick skin made from rhino hide, complete with horn. Pig: Makes me feel ray. Censored by thin-skinned editor. Rat: Whoa whoa whoa. Only your skin is thick.

Alexander the Good Enough about 9 years ago
No, no, no. Concupiscent! It’s a very nice word, and I’ll bet that neither Stephan’s editor nor the comment moderators have the slightest clue what it means.

Is it me or the ‘only your skin is thick’ is also a double entendre?

The following is a parodic letter: .Dear Mr. Pastis: We strongly recommend that your characters not use that suit. We do have a character called “The Rhino.” On second consideration, we must ask if your character would be interested in serving as a stunt double in our next movie.Signed, Joe Lawyer, Marvel Comics Group..Hey, you never know. The Rhino character is kind of stupid…

In pig’s case, his skin is definitely NOT the only part of him that’s thick. So’s his skull.

Is that a pig in a poker?
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 9 years ago
Yeah, I didn’t know, either, which way “only your skin is thick” is supposed to go.
“only YOUR skin is thick”… or the other way…“Only your SKIN is thick” … which doesn’t really make sense, in context, but sure sounds .. um… racier.
Kind&Kinder about 9 years ago

Pig said “horny”! Pig said “horny”! No Thin-Skinned Editor can fool me. Pig’s new exoderm suit is thick-skinned; he would be a much better Editor!But I hope Rat uses only faux-rhino for his “Rhinomatic.” Otherwise, I will have to condemn him to participate in the most dangerous game….

Charlie Fogwhistle about 9 years ago
I don’t know about this. Kill just one lion, and you’re all over the news. But develop a product made with products from an endangered species? Good thing it’s just a cartoon. “No actual Rhinoceroses were harmed in the making of this cartoon.”

Since when does the word “corny” need to be censored?

Rhino poaching is at an all time high, thanks in no small part to a doctor in Viet Nam stating that it helps cure cancer. The Chinese have used it in their ancient medicines for years, but not the Vietnamese use it in theirs as well as having it on their wall as a status symbol. It has to stop.

Does any one else think of a certain candidate with an upswept hairdo, few brains, thick skin, and might be considered a Republican In Name Only (RINO)? Nah, Pig is too sweet natured.
And yes, I too oppose hunting Rhinoceros. And Elephants.

I’ve developed a thick skin over the years. Especially on GoComics when all the trolls are roaming about.
They can call me any name under the sun and I honestly couldn’t care less.

Pig is not as horny as goat!
Andrew Bosch Premium Member about 9 years ago
It is good that you wish to make a statement against hunting certain animals to extinction because of others’ stupid beliefs, but could you at least remove the graphics references from the website you plagiarized?

When I served in Southeast Asia, we found a much simpler answer: rhino horn was used for the same purpose as Viagra. Inquiring foreigners were given any number of fairy tale answers — sort of like those you’ve mentioned.
