Pig: Hey there, Rat. Today is 'Opposite Day.' Where all the stuff in our strip turns out the opposite of how it normally does. Want to participate? Rat: No. Get lost, loser. Noise: CRACK. Pig: Things are different on 'Opposite Day.'

I sense that Pig is really enjoying Opposite Day.
georgelanigan almost 13 years ago
Good for Pig. But I imagine when opposite day is over he’ll pay for that BIG time,

I think I like Oposite Day. Too bad there aren’t more of them.
Herb Thiel Premium Member almost 13 years ago
I loved this one. Or, since it’s opposite day am I supposed to say I hated it?
Colt9033 almost 13 years ago
Way to roll Rat, Pig! Hope your opposite day continues so you can dodge Rat’s punch.

Time for the Croc to eat the Zebra? I mean Zeeba.
Potrzebie almost 13 years ago
Opposite day? That means Zebra gets to hunt the Crocs, and Guard Duck gets to be shot at.

chekhovskaya almost 13 years ago
Rat should have remembered that “No” means “Yes” on opposite day.
listmom almost 13 years ago
Oh yeah! Totally out of Pig’s sweet disposition, but oh so satisfying.
OneFiveThree almost 13 years ago
Genuinely surprised. I’m thinking about making the last line my late 1980’s action-hero catchphrase.“You lose, evil dictator. Things are different on Opposite Day!” (U.S. flag unfurls in background for no reason)
JRod3787 almost 13 years ago
Pig, you missed. You were supposed to get Rat in the Jimmy.

HAH!! Stephen, you corrupted Pig! (as in, you corrupted the character named Pig, not that you are a corrupted pig. G-d forbid.)

bossyheifer almost 13 years ago
Indeed, Pastis needs to get one over on Rat and let Pig have fun for a while! :)

Whack-a-Rat! LOL!
Sherlock Watson almost 13 years ago
Today Rat gets served a helping of Pig’s knuckles, and throughout the land there is a great chanting of, “Hit ’im again! Hit ’im again! Har-der! Har-der!”
snowman92 almost 13 years ago

Ermine Notyours almost 13 years ago
In the late 1970s, shortly after Garfield launched, Jim Davis went on a local Seattle talk show to plug his strip. He talked about cartoon violence and how the sound effect “POW!” was okay, but “CRACK!” is over the line. Let’s hear it for Pastis, breaking another comics barrier, not to mention a bone or two.
jimelek almost 13 years ago
Awesome….
SapphireSkies Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Yay, Pig! Hit him again before Opposite Day is over! Maybe Rat will lose his memory of the past 24 hours and Pig will survive tomorrow.
rumplesnitz almost 13 years ago

photochick408 almost 13 years ago

FCZ almost 13 years ago
De rat, he go splat! Bravo, Pig!
Now, for “Opposite Day”, maybe newspapers could run comics at appropriate sizes, and pay cartoonists a living wage…
theromanqueen almost 13 years ago
