Pearls before SWIPE?
DJ "Trouble" Coffman was surprised recently when he sat down yesterday to read his favorite newspaper comic, Stephan Pastis's Pearls Before Swine.

DJ Coffman, usually one to shy away from controversy and the spotlight, had this to say in his blog about the strip:
"We're making their jobs much easier, aren't we? Too bad we can't steal their watered down garbage that's fit for papers, eh? Nah, that stuff won't fly online. Of course, we here at Yirmumah can't PROVE any of this.. it's just, uh, 'speculation' and 'commentary'. yeah.. that's the ticket."
Could this lead to a whole line of swipes from the cartoonists in the print world? Should we expect a blue troll to appear and eat Cathy? Will Garfield start playing video games and spew profanity? The possibilities are endless. Endless and delicious.
