Strip by: Conor
Pig: I have trouble opening conversations with pretty girls.
Rat: Buy a book on openings and memorize them.
Pig: What kind of openings?
Rat: I don't know... just well-known openings.
{Pig is at a bar and talking to a human woman.}
Pig: 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 Nf6 3. Kf3 Bc5 4. Kg3 Nxe4
The author writes:
Comments: In honour (?) of the currently-ongoing (as I submit this) World Chess Championship. If Pig is really interested in serious opening study... well, he probably shouldn't have picked Winning with the Bongcloud.
Original Pearls before Swine strip: 2009-08-20. Pig's chess moves taken from "Pedal to the Metal: The Accelerated and Hyper-Accelerated Bongclouds", Winning with the Bongcloud, Andrew Fabbro, pg. 23-24.
