Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 30, 2014
Transcript:
Goat: Great. Robbing old ladies. Rat: Hey... she was holding out. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get the poor dog a bone. But when she came there, the cupboard was bare, and so the poor dog had none. Old Collie Dollie saw this was folly to live with a woman so rude. "I'll teach you a lesson with this Smith And Wesson." And Hubbard discovered more food.

Wow! A carnivore with a gun! What a concept. :) If she didn’t have more food I suppose he could have stepped out back and shot a squirrel…..or an old lady…..or something.

Dolly should realize that if you’re going to resort to violence,go for something better than canned dog food.

Collie Dolly is my new hero! When the old lady was holding out on her, she stood up for her rights, and won! —Even if what she won was just canned dog food….

This reminds me of the 1942 Warner Brothers cartoon “Foney Fables”, in which the dog opens a cabinet next to the empty one, finds it full of food, and reports Mother Hubbard as a food hoarder (a stigma during WWII food rationing).

The Washington Post published a different strip today. Too violent, maybe?

I have always suspected that Old Mother Hubbard had a snack or two hidden away. Good for Collie Dolly.
