Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 31, 2015
Transcript:
Zebra: Listen, Killer Koala. I know Koalas need to sleep 22 hours a day, but since you're supposed to be guarding my property, do you think you could sleep an hour or so less? Melvin: HI. I'm Melvin Melvinowitz, and I'm suing you for Koala discrimination, you racist scum. Zebra: Maybe I'll guard my own property. Melvin: That's culturally insensitive. We're suing you again.

Being sued for being culturally insensitive?

They’ll sue for anything these days. Can I sue if a comic strip isn’t funny enough?

If he is a drop bear just spread some Vegemite behind your ears. You will be fine. Maybe Zebra should get a vicious jackalope. That would take care of business.

zebra…if you can be hustled by a koala…you have little hope against a croc or a lion and most certainly against a LAWYER

I wish Pastis would leave his politics out of this strip. Never funny when he tries to send a message.

Last week Indiana passed a law blocking suits over “cultural insensitivity” and the leftists went nuts. Now the cowardly republicans are talking about modifying the law. Spine of jelly.

This makes 3 or 4 Koala strips, and the koala’s eyes are always open. It’s obviously not a real koala, since it never sleeps.

Actually, the republican mayor of Indianopolis “went nuts” too, since he realizes it’s a bigoted law.

Interesting how you made the lawyer Jewish.

I thought the same, Ginny.

To solve this problem, Zebra should get the lawyer and the koala to fight so that one will eat the other. Doesn’t matter which.

I don’t know if this was supposed to be offensive or funny but it made me crack a smile.

Melvin “Why do some people on this Comments Board think I must be Jewish [talk about stereotyping!]?” Melvinowitz was probably wrong to call Zeeba Neighba “racist scum.” There could be a counter-suit in that remark, if Z.N. can get Cartoon-Boy to give him representation…. And, besides that, the koala does bill himself as “Killer Koala,” raising reasonable expectations of performance.

I once read a book about dumb laws. My favourite was a law stating that if a woman drives a car, a man should run in front of the car waving a red flag. I’m certain this was from over 100 years ago.I did not make this up.
