Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 17, 2016
Transcript:
Stephan: I'm often asked to explain the pre-history of 'Pearls Before Swine'. Well, it starts like this... "Once upon a time, the president of Russia had his planes buzz an american naval ship." Sailor: That plane sure is close. Sailor 2: Let's shoot it down. "They did. And as a result, nuclear war ended the world." Rat: It's like a Disney story, but not. Pig: Does Bambi die?

We’re all just figments of the imagination of somebody in that split second where their life flashes before their eye just as the nuclear bombs detonate.

If we ever live through something like that again, I hope we can find the secret to hibernation.

Mr. Pastis, I have what I consider to be an important question… was PBS created, or did it evolve?

I agree that we should give a hickey to anything that comes too close to our ships or aircraft. Makes good practice for the real thing, but hopefully not with a nukes. So Perls mutated after the SPF 1000 nuke episode? That ’splains a lot.

Bambi always dies, Pig (see Bambi Meets Godzilla), and a little-known fact is that one of those trigger-happy sailors was Cartoon-Boy himself (the “nuclear annihilation” is, like all his stories, a trifle exaggerated)….

Unlike Pedals, New Jersey’s bi-pedal bear, Bambi survived the hunters. He didn’t survive his encounter with Godzilla.

What a hoot! Great proof that outrageously funny comics do NOT need ANYTHING political in them. You done good, Pastis.

Bambi went all the way for a buck.

Somehow Bambi became a girls name.
Bambi was a stag and his sire sired most of the years crop of baby dear. Most deer are sired by the alpha stag with a little action for the beta deer.
Deer are tournament species, humans are a mix of tournament and pair bonding. This is a major factor in our life and literature.
And Bambi is not dead because he is fictional.
