Strip by: KelpTheGreat

{Most of the Pearls Before Swine cast are in prison}
Rat: What are those two doing here?
Stephan: Guard Duck had an unregistered R.P.G.... Danny Donkey is the town drunk.
Pig: Then who's left to carry the humor of the strip?
{Beat panel, Fred the basset hound is pictured}
Rat: We're all @*#&*@# doomed.
Pig: Maybe we could just run blank space.

The author writes:

After David Morgan-Mar made a couple of strips ripping on Fred Basset, I tend to picture Fred when thinking of an unfunny character. So naturally, when I was re-reading one of my Pearls Before Swine collections, and the actual subject of unfunny characters came up, this remix wasn't far behind.
