Pastis may need the help of an angry bird (LGD) to get out.

Is Rat drawing the comic strip now? There is no telling where the arc will go!

Wonder how much of this is based on experience.

Pastis has a sister. She rescued him as a child after mom and grandma conspired to dump him out of the car. This is according to Stephan’s comments in a treasury.

If Stephan is not getting better fed, he’ll lose enough weight to slip between the bars and escape.+++++I wonder which stool pigeon Ratted on Stephan—and will Momma use that angry bird to bring down Pastis’ house of cards.

Since when does the FBI give you a phone call?Tomorrow – “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”.

I wonder if Rat is going to rescue him from jail as an attempt at his revolution… or maybe Pig and Guard Duck? Nah, Pig wouldn’t be smart enough… Hmm…
mac47 over 13 years ago
I’ll bail you out, poor Stephan.
P.S. Angry Birds is SOOOOO addicting, but I HATE the ads on the iPad.
AGED_ENGINEER Premium Member over 13 years ago
Well, at least we know who ratted Stephan out!
tmick2001 over 13 years ago
Angry Birds is an actual game?
AGED_ENGINEER Premium Member over 13 years ago
As noted, LGD is definitely the first “angry bird” in popular culture, or at least earlier than the game, though I remember Daffy getting pretty torqued from time to time, so maybe he is the original.

I thought only the kids liked holding a computer or phone with left hand instead of just getting a laptop and putting it on the table.
Tracy Jordan over 13 years ago
C’mon. The woman did put a hit on him thirty years ago.

No such thing as a “one call.” You’re entitled to the dang phone.
