Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 23, 2012

thanks a lot… uh… Goat or Mr. Pastis?… for ruining it all!

It was funny when Yogi Bear did it.

Happy thanksgiviing Rat and Goat :D

Bababooey… er, um I mean - Ratatooey

hahahaahahaahaaa

When he made the comment, it was still Thanksgiving on the West Cost.

The gag is to steal it, Goat. You don’t need to eat it.

If you’ve got a complaint, Rat, take to That Sad Little Man, a.k.a. Cartoon-Boy. I snickered at this one….

What a joke!

real sign of the times : Who bakes pies?

Pecan for me! followed by cherry then the other fruits

It’s better than what they did in “Family Guy” when the steam from the pie raped Peter.

How does Goat KNOW it’s not a gluten-free pie. In my town, odds are it would be. Yeah, I know… we’re thinking of moving.

Soupy Sales would have made very good use of that pie!

To much of an insider joke. Mildly amusing.

Kind of like buying a bag of mixed salad greens labelled in large letters: GLUTEN FREE!! Yes, well I would hope so!

I would get that pie, and I would also pick up Cool Whip on the way home!!

Goat should learn to be less tolerant of Rat.

Sometimes Goat can be a killjoy but he’s still adorable.

LOL xxx

haha.. nice try rat!

That’s the difference between Goat and Rat. Goat is a celiac and Rat is a silly hack.

Don’t hate me, but I prefer pecan pie

My mother Is gluten intolerant, so now we can’t eat anything delicious!!!! Rat, take the pie man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Stephan Pastis assumed that no one would read it because it’s after thanksgiving.

This is what made the “great depression” grate . . . . .☻.Another nice one DFrog – ☺

Hmmm…so, in the Great Depression, when people were starving, it was a great gag to steal someone’s pie? How funny….

“That’s a pie safe”….itsa sure is iffa no one can reach it.

I thought it made for a good comic strip.Digital Frog – very funny!I bake pies – they are actually quite easy.Great comments today!

Today’s strip is rated PG (Paris Goat); tomorrow we’ll be back to the stuff that’s rated R (Rat).

I am very sorry for your child. The problem here is that so many people are on “gluten free”(or whatever the bad food of the month is) that many places will sell it anyway. like the little boy that called “wolf”, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Allergies are not to be messed with, but when they are claimed wrongly, others do not believe.

Just eat the filling and throw the crust away…a lot of folks do that. I think the window sill thing came when kitchens were tiny and hot. Maybe. Just guessing. We don’t do that in L.A., it’s usually hotter outside.

Happy Thanksgiving, Stephan. Thanks for all the great strips!

Let’s face it, hot kitchen or not, when you are waiting for a pie to cool you want it fast. It is going to cool quicker on the sill, where the air can circulate better.

The pie-in-the-window idea showed up in “Wreck-It Ralph”. I read this comic this morning before seeing the movie.

saw the peanuts “Happiness is a Warm Blanket” again tonight, pastis had a big part in making that

I do like the scene from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” where they steal the pie—and then Delmar runs back and leaves a dollar.

So, if goat ate the pie, would he gag on it?

A gluten-intolerant goat? That’s like an elephant with a peanut allergy!
