Stephan Pastis had written in the comments section of his past books that he had a hard time getting more adult themes past the censors of his work (AKA editors) because the comics section had to be kept at a children’s level for the kids reading it. Crap… don’t use that word. Butt… nope, and other things. Glad to see the editors are letting him “push the envelope” and he can run strips like this. If you want pure sweetness, stick to Garfield. If you want edgy, Pearls Before Swine is the strip for you!
A friend did this to a bottle of beer I was holding once. The bottom of the bottle fell out in a perfect circle. Needless to say, there was no foaming action. I wish now I had kept the bottle.
There is a Bloom County strip where Opus comments about loving the smell after a rain, and Oliver informs him that it is petrichor, an oil produced by plant feces. If you google Bloom County petrichor, you can find it. It’s one of my favorite Bloom County strips.
How long until the comments start showing up about a live lobster being green and a cooked lobster is red? (Ironic that this is the first one.) Just enjoy the comic and move on, don’t get boiling mad and all red in the face.
Really sad thing here is, I believe Rat rents.
