Puerca Blanca
A transplant from a humid and far-flung southern land, Puerca Blanca is a quiet pig. She prefers to sit demurely, allowing others to speak, waiting her turn. She is conversant... in technology. (Also, Spanish.) Always polite, always just so. Is she a mute? SHE IS A LADY.
Our Lady In White enjoys wordplay, space, and delicious index cards. What we say, she remembers. Behold.

Paul: It disappears, because corpses disappear.
Stan (disappointed): Aw.

That can't be my diary - I'm illiterate!
Cheese Wedge XIV (September 17, 2016)
Robbie: I'll use a cheese point for him!
Bill: Why are you doing this?
Paul: Because he's not paying for them.
Bill: It's his allowance money.
