Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 11, 2013
Transcript:
Man 1: I just ____ a ____ who ____ my ____. Man 2: Did you ____ a ____ of ____ in her ____? Rat: I sense a wee bit of censorship. Pastis: Well, we're in newspapers, gosh darn it! Pig: Whoa whoa whoa. Watch the language, Steph. Every major character in "Pearls" is currently in prison, with the sole exception of Goat, who isn't funny. So in lieu of a "Pearls" strip, Stephan will run an installment of his favorite online strip, "Cyanice and Happiness."

I will love you forever for this, Pastis. C&H is my favourite comic ever and the show is going to be something amazing.

So cartoon-Pastis digs Cyanide and Happiness, ehh? I had not known of it before, but after reading a sample number of strips, I can see why it might be censored if it were a print comic. Gosh darn it! (Back off, Pig. I’ve got a frying pan, and I’m not afraid to use it….)

If it’s a question of money for bail, Larry’s parents seem pretty well off……

Maybe you could run some old strips from 50 or 60 years ago instead of this junk?

Now I see why writers don’t normally tell stories over several days. The target audience doesn’t have the brain power to remember anything previous to today. And from what I’ve seen, some even have problems with today.I sampled a few C&Hs, and really just have to say it’ll be the last time I bother; especially with recommendations from the mainstream. There are a few web comics I like, but that will never be one of them.

Compared to C and H and XKCD, Pearls before Swine is overdrawn. Stephen is putting too much effort into drawing his comic strip.

Maybe Pigitta will make pig a cake with a file in it; but the file will contain a virus . . and the cell will be infected . . and there goes the pearls AND swine . . . heavens to murgatroyd . . . ☻

Could have been worse. He could have decided to use Oglaf, and the entire second panel would be blacked out.

You don’t know what REAL swearing is, Pig. Or maybe you do.
Rat is the expert there.

You know, its funny how some strips can put in narrations and use other strips, but their comics still stink. Stephan on the other hand, can use this to create classics.
