So much has been going on. There's the Viking scandal (something about Sven, Pig's friend, in an airport restroom stall), the first Whimsical Tuesday, when bad things just happen, and Dr. Rat's Brain Augmentation Surgery that makes you smarterer than everer. Straight from the "gigantohead" of creator Stephan Pastis (Rat said it), comes the tactless and darkly ridiculous humor that legions of Pearls fans can't get enough of. And to top it off, the Sunday strips are now in color. That's huge!
