Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 10, 2013
Transcript:
Goldfish: From this new fortified base, I shall seek nothing short of world domination. To bend people to my will through the force of personality. And if that fails, through the use of physical force. I want people chanting my name! I want people attesting to my greatness! I want statues of me in every park!! I want to be worshipped by the @#@*@#* masses!!! Pig: I'm regretting buying you that castle. Goldfish: So...how do I get a working cannon?

you know what? lemme introduce you to this nice shiny white porcelain bowl. i’m pretty sure there’s a cannon in there.
rshive almost 12 years ago
Don’t forget his internet connection Pig. He’ll probably be able to find the cannon on E-bay.

Pastis pulled a fast one on us. Up until the last panel, who honestly didn’t think that it was Rat who was speaking?

Fish, from his fortified power base, will unify all piscine aquarium tribes, wherever they may be, and lead them on a crusade of conquest against their human oppressors.That is, until they leap over the edge of their tanks, and lie flopping helplessly on the carpet.

In the missing last two panels, Pig stares at the goldfish, eye-locking him in an attempt to overcome and moderate the goldfish’s errant personality.An hour later, goat comes in and finds Pig standing there flapping his trotters up and down, opening and closing his mouth.

Your reference to" Emperor Tuna Fish" somehow made me think of this (don’t think I mentioned it yet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIwrgAnx6Q8
