Pearls Before Swine: Hey, buy me the moped. I'll drive it off a cliff.

There is an undercurrent of misanthropy that runs through pretty much the entire comics section, but nearly all comics pretend that it isn't there. If this blog has a mission, beyond killing time, it's to uncover that misanthropy. And that's basically Pearls Before Swine's mission, too. This is both what makes Pearls such a great strip and why I like it so much.

Also, a suicidal monkey! It's funny!
