[edit] Problems

I've wikified part of this article. While doing so, I found some errors. For instance, our article said Mr Pastis "was a lawyer, practicing insurance law" but in fact he "was a litigation attorney in San Francisco from 1993 to 2002"[1] who spent a lot of time "defending insurance firms against claims from the 1994 Northridge earthquake."[2] The list of his earlier strips here does not mention "Rat", but includes one (The Billbo Chronicles) our article does not mention. And so on.

I've put a {{unreferencedsect}} tag on the "Pearls Before Swine" section of the article. Unless someone comes up with good sources for those statements, we should rewrite it from scratch.

[edit] Picture deletion

Why is the picture up for speedy deletion? If it's a picture of Mr. Pastis, and it's copyright is ok, why get rid of it? No reason is given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.243.172 (talk) 23:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. If it really was good then put it back up, if you know where it is. C. Phoebus —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Phoebus (talk • contribs) 14:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
