"Pearls Before Swine": spelling and verb forms

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

the 10/19/04 "Pearls Before Swine" comic, drawn by Stephan Pastis:

"At the Street Sign Bar".  the speaking characters are all street
signs.  the pig merely observes.

1:  Danger High Voltage, to pig: Look at that stupid guy next to you...
Can't even spell 'through.'

No Thru Traffic: Hey, leave me alone, man...  The full word didn't fit.

sign not visible, from off right: Yeah... Leaves him alone, man...
It's you that be the stupid one...

2:  Danger High Voltage: Hey, listen, "Thru-Boy."  You better tell your
moron friend to stay out of this...  Everyone knows he's the dumbest
guy in the bar.

3:  No Thru Traffic: He's all right, Hal...  Stay out of this.

Slow [now visible in the scene]: But I is smart, George...  I is smart.
