Too bad he didn’t use a pyramidal shaped container instead of a cube. Back in high school I had a physics teacher who believed in the pseudoscience of ‘pyramid power’, that is that pyramids had certain mystic properties, one of them being the ability to preserve foods. To try to prove it, he tried to preserve a piece of fruit by placing it under a plexiglass pyramid for a few months. I don’t recall it being entirely successful.

And as the world turns … in the near future, Pig’s Date will shrivel up.
In remembrance of his Date’s once full body, Pig will raisin’ up a glass and give a toast that his Date never Wined

If you go to Indio, California, you can watch a guy make a date shake.
(I fully expect to see reference to this in a future strip.)

Hate to be old-fashioned here, but the word is, “invitation.” It is a noun, not a verb.

Rat’s right. Pig is hopeless, though not helpless. Maybe Neighbor Bob’s Daughter can make him her Rescue Project….
