For the R.E.M. fans among us

A little fandom in the Sunday comics (click for full size):

Pearls before swine

I was cracking up before I even noticed the R.E.M. poster and Stipe portrait in the first frame.

I was bummed that they replaced Foxtrot with all its World of Warcraft/adolescent computing humor with this strip, but this might make it all ok.

    Pearls Before Swine is usually pretty funny if less overtly geeky than Fox Trot.

    When I was in high school or maybe college (I know it was in Atlanta), I was stuck at a redlight and the guy in the car next to me sang along with *every* line of that song. I have to admit that I was mildly impressed.

    Impressive indeed — even Michael Stipe needs the lyrics printed out on a music stand!

    He says the song was inspired by a dream he had where he was at a party where everyone’s initials were L.B. but his.
