Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 04, 2013

It is indeed.

That’s why I don’t bother to meet my neighbors.

@jnik23260That’s too bad. How much longer do you have?

Around here it’s possum.

Coyotes in Vancouver……..

Yes, the Armadillos of Texas have long been at war with the Tire-raninas.

Arm a dillo…exercise your right to bare arms.

No, I have no clue what that has to do with anything…I just made it up and it sounded sorta funny…unless someone else has said it before… in which case…carry on….

Anyway….this is a modern phenomenon, armadillos getting run over…back in the 40’s and 50’s, they turned into purses.

He has plans to cause damage with his death.

@SusanSunshineAnd before that, they somehow managed to avoid the horse traffic.

Armadillo, the Hedgehog of Texas by all accounts.

Easy for Rat though.

I saw plenty of squashed armadilli (?) when I lived in Texas for a cuppa coffee’s worth as a youth. But what is disturbing is how pessimistic Pig’s new neighbor is; I’ve never seen trucks barreling through Pig’s neighborhood….

Uuummmmm … rode kell taste GUD

1) “…just moved in…” How can an armadillo pay rent?!? 2) I enjoyed meeting Stephan yesterday in Brooklyn, NY. He looks better in person than in cartoon!

So much for armor. Being likely a Texan, he needs to pack heat.

The Crocs are rejoicing. EZ pickin’s moving in. They’re hoping for an entire extended family.

“Always look on the briiight side of life! whistles” Eh, Armadillo?

That’s funny.If they were going to get hit by trucks,they should be extinct soon.

All so sad tho, hard on the family.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the armadillo it could be done.

“A guy from Australia told me that some kangaroos are smart enough to look both ways before crossing a road.”I heard about someone seeing a mama raccoon teaching her young to look both ways before crossing the road. You don’t see many roadkill raccoons. However, someone saw one in Florida the other day. Must not’ve listened to Mom, or she was lax on the home-schooling.

Now that’s funny, right thar!

Friendships can be messy.

Possum on the half-shell..

I hope the armadillo is going to be a regular character; it would be fun to see the crocs breaking their teeth on his shell.

Awwwww… He’s a cute little fella!

xxx

Armadillo, a/k/a Texas road pizzas.

That would be pedestrians here…

See the chicken down the road, she’s an expert. She taught the possom the road crossing trick.

A good many of Pig’s friends are roadkill, at least of the mental variety.

Hahaha.

He’s like Alphonse, the needy porcupine!

I see the Texas visit provided subject matter. You ran over the I-10 road bumps didn’t you? Armadillos also carry leprosy. There’s an old Texas saying: Never eat a 3-legged armadillo. Gee I miss Texas.

For the longest time my kids thought that opossums came into this world dead, flat, and lying in the middle of the road. At least they weren’t dead, flat, and smelly like skunks.

why’d the chicken cross the road? show the armored dildo it could be done.
