Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 26, 2015
Transcript:
Pastis: Hey, Rat, I'd like to introduce you to our newest character... A warthog. Rat; He's just a plain old warthog? Warthog: I knew I wouldn't be accepted. I'll probably fail and everything will go wrong and i'll get fired and get sick and die. Pastis: A Worrywarthog. Warthog: Oh, Great... you're whispering about me... I'll just fire myself now.

Funny. I hope he stays as a regular cast character and wasn’t only used once to use the ‘worry wart’ line.

Is that a Worrywarthog or a Neurotic warthog. Though I think Eric Salinas found the real reason for today’s strip (worry wart)

Warthog instead of turkey for Thanksgiving? Trying to start a new tradition?

I heard that Pastis’ first choice for a new character was Tom Turkey but there was an accident in the kitchen. So he had to pick his second choice WorryWartHog.

Warthog is actually quite tasty. I’m sure that Larry will attest to that.

I love that he has actual legs and hooves on his hindquarters. The crocs having stick legs always seemed like a cheat!

If Mr. Pastis has a bit of imagination he might have a new friend for Duck.People say the A-10 Warthog is a plane designed around a gun—its 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon.http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a18236/why-the-a-10-warthog-is-such-a-badass-plane

Well, WartHog, I think you’re making a splendid ingenue appearance today and you should be proud of all those pesky remarks, meant in jest of course, that have come your way (South America – no me gusta el pescado para comir pero las frutas de malanga como son cocinado en mi pais de Cuba – muchos anos despues de Castro por supuesto, desde 1961 quando nos entraron a Miami con la familia), Singapore, Canada, non-Canada, and even here in sunny Sarasota, FL. I will look for you in cyberspace, dear WH (there, I’ve just given you a more corporate nickname). Feel better now? I kiss you on your furry forehead, ‘cause I think you could use some luv… Don’t need my net today.

Great new character, Cartoon-Boy! Just be careful that worrywarthog doesn’t become a crazed, paranoid serial killer! I mean, the first thing I thought of (like Jimbo31333, I guess) was the A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the Warthog, a powerful weapon against our enemies….

Any relation to Philbert Desenex?
Sherlock Watson about 9 years ago
He mostly worries that he’ll never get rid of his warts.
