Stephan Pastis hates pigs?

Arnold Buckley
    Pig is a character in Stephan Pastis Pearls Before Swine which is basically the oddest comic strip out there. In this animal dominated comic strip a bunch of animals mess with each other and many times the comic creator himself is thrown in these prints. What really is disconcerting to me about this sardonic comic strip is the amount of three stooges violence one finds in it and like ninety percent t of the time it is directed towards pig. This is a bit of a bullying comic strip and the amount of fighting and violence is superfluous and unnecessary. I was looking at through some old comics through a web comic portal the other day and came across this Pillsbury boy strip where pig gets the snout shit stuffed out of him through an ass beating by the Pillsbury guy after he tries to rub his 'cute" little belly. Why Pastis lives in a fantasy world where the Pillsbury guy is as violent as a second string Philadelphia Flyer right-winger is not really understandable but there he is having the lovable dough boy beating the shit out of pig. One violent strip can be ignored but when every other comic strip involves one of the various animals (except rat) getting the shit be out of their snouts makes a comic critic like myself squirm and say what's up.  Pig takes the amount of abuse of a Curly in the three stooges and again one wonders why Pastis directs all of his anger and drawn for this adorable and  popular character of his comic strip. One can only do a search of pearls before Swine comics on Google and see a mass of comics where pig is made into bacon live on the strip after he says or does the wrong thing to something. it can be a cruel world when one makes the Pillsbury dough boy out to be some evil gnome.
