Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 13, 2013

The kind of diet I need.

Well, three-fourths of the word IS “die,” after all!

Not even for a morsel of health food, Guard Duck? And how do you guard the cupboard, fridge and pantry all at once?

Trust Guard Duck to put the “die” back in “die” + “t”, which leaves the rest to fit Pig to a “t”.

As I sit here scarfing ice cream…..

Anti tank rockets to enforce a diet, pretty hardcore.

I need one of those.

Tough love,duck style !

The Guard Duck diet always ensures you loose at least ten pounds.

Sumbodie tell Peeg to eet Gard Duck. Probbem solved!

Ah yes, the guard duck diet. Works every time.

Pig certainly IS strictly disciplined! Little Guard Duck and his favorite weapon, the rocket-propelled grenade launcher, can cover the kitchen with very powerful reminders that extra eating is strictly Verboten!

Pig has always been a light eater,,,as soon as it’s daylight, he starts eating!!

That will work. Unlike the preacher in Gasoline Ally, Guard Duck can’t be bribed.

soup nazis!

Kind of reminds me of the Flintstones episode where Fred joined Food Anonymous, and the guy was there to stop him from eating at every turn.

I could never live if I had one of those.

Quite an awesome plan.

If not dangerous…

As long as he doesn’t keep Pig away from the BLT’s!

“Being that this is a grenade launcher, you gotta ask yourself one question: ‘Am I really hungry?’ Well, are you, punk?”:Name that reference!

If he fires that RPG in the cupboard the backblast would blow the both of them to smithereens.

Don’t ask. Do, then ask of forgiveness.

RPG diet, or LGD diet?

++++

Either way reminds me of a Geico commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynR0yRhxeL8

Ha! Ones like these are why I like this strip. I must say, this is probably the most useful application of a household Guard Duck we’re likely to see.

Steven……You DO know that a Soviet RPG is about as dangerous to the shooter as it is the target?! The cabinet would be gone and we’d most likely have roast GD with Pig!

Hmmmm. Come to think of it, that sounds pretty tasty!!!

Good taste with the cheese poofs, though.

take the, dr. atkins!!!

Eating is a bad habit.

I’m trying to quit.

Be thankful that Stephan didn’t draw an assembly of catholic priests (a “diet”) in that final panel.

haha

That says cheese poops.

I need a guard duck in my life, but to gain weight. If a duck with an RPG tells you to finish your meal, you certainly will.
