Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 30, 2011
Transcript:
Mom: I hear Dennis the Menace set fire to your house... sounds like your new 'family strip' idea's going great. Pastis: Listen, Mom... I had a nice talk with the young man and I told him he needed to act much, much better. Dennis: Repent, for the end is near. Mom: Maybe too much. Pastis: Hey, Dennis. Go back to burning down my house. Dennis: Here... let me leave you with some literature.
Actually, the end WAS near — he walked right out of the last panel.Cartoon lives have a beginning and an end every day. Do you think they stay in character between scenes?Maybe they all hang out at a toon bar and talk about US.
