Transcript:
"Hello, readers... Today we delve into the 'Pearls' mailbag to answer a common question: "Has any 'Pearls' character ever smiled?"" "To answer that question, we asked Pig here to conduct an exhaustive review of the 'Pearls' archives. After weeks of research, Pig here has the answer..." "...No." "No?... Never?... How can that be?" "I dunno. It just hasn't happened." "Fine, then... I'll smile... How hard can it be?" "Monday! Monday! She's not gonna hold!!" "Man the lifeboats!!"<Br>"Fire in the hole!!!" BOOM!!<b>Pearls Programming Note: Join us next week for a very special Sunday strip: "Coping With the Death of an Unloved One." "He never should have tried it." "Can't say that I'll miss him." "Beer, anyone?"
pig smiles alot, and I think rat even had a slight turning of the corners of his mouth when he was with pig’s cousin. (i’m blanking on her name, I know it was the bubble girl…)
