Missing my Pearls


I am pathetically addicted to Pearls Before Swine. Like way addicted. It's genius! I get the Standard Examiner and the first thing I do every morning is find the comics page and read Pearls. So the Standard's editor decided that they are going to re-vamp the comics page to make it "hipper" (yes, that's what he said). And how does one make the comics page hipper? Apparently by taking the lamest strips known to man and plugging them into the paper for a test run. So he replaced the greatest comic ever with a beyond lame one about boot camp for a month. I feel like I'm in boot camp.

So I wrote a letter to the editor. Never done that before. Not when I was misquoted, not when they deleted my account without warning, not ever. But I wrote him for this. And nothing happened. So now I'll vent about it here. And get my daily Pearls Before Swine dosage at comics.com
