In the spring of 1986, I was at my main FM transmitter site about 3:00 AM running some audio tests and exercising the backup generator under load. As I finished up for the night, I felt Mother Nature’s call graduate to Mother Nature jumping up and down and cussing. No bathroom in the transmitter building, so I trotted off to the edge of the woods about a hundred yards away. As I was walking back to lock up I heard the proverbial “bustle in your hedgerow.” When I turned to look, a full grown (300-400 pounds) feral hog emerged, tusks and all, bearing down on me at a full run. I took off running as fast as I could, and jumped onto the hood and then the roof of my Subaru station wagon. The hog, just a couple of seconds behind me, proceeded to vent his anger on the passenger side of my car, actually tearing the metal in several places. He had worked at it for several minutes when I realized that when I laid down flat on the car roof, he couldn’t see me. He finally wandered off after another half an hour or so.
“I know a guy.” My neighbor needed a big tree removed. He knew a guy. About half of his roof has been covered with a tarp for several weeks now to keep the rain out of the giant hole made by that tree when it fell on his house. “I know a guy.” Famous last words.

Baldy is the nicest, least annoying character in this strip, so far. We’ll never see him again after this arc.
