Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 19, 2016

GandhiMLKRatWhich one these things is not like the other?

During campaign season it’s more productive to click the “off” button on Facebook.

MLK would be proud, I’ll bet.

Sometimes he clicks the like button and sometimes he uses the sad emoji. That’s a step up for Rat considering he hates everyone.

Where’s the Pied Piper when we need him?:BTW, Zebra’s here and there’s not a croc in sight — Yay!

shouldn’t command duck fit in here somewhere?

Sure, Rat. Please don’t strain yourself. You’ll need all your strength for looting and hiding your misdeeds once you get elected. It’s such a strain, I know.

Hummm…….Rat’s Flag Hat spun around in the last panel……Is that to show a change of direction for the Rat campaign ? Larry Croc for Vice-President ! A Zebra neigh-bor in every pot !

….and I guess with that line of thinking MLK must have been “Uppity”. (Sarcasm is so difficult to express when writing…at first glance I thought you were serious about Ghandi….)

“One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn’t belong.”

What happened to Rat’s tie?

Lame and racist, dude.

I’d vote for him.

What, no pun?

Ah, the Millennial Revolution

“Frog Applause” got the pun in for today.

So did “Argyle Sweater”.

I’m a non-political person trying to understand a political strip.

I’m wasting my time. Off I go!

Not to call him any part of a scumbag, but Gandhi was a virulent and vicious anti-Semite.

This is Rat going all out.

Rat: “Zebra, here’s how I plan to win; via total, absolute honesty. My Fellow Americans, what I want most of all is to impress everyone whom I possibly can! You see, this way I get to parasite off of your easy pickin’s energies; because I like the way it all makes me feel! Trouble is, the ‘high’ that I get off of all this is that it only lasts for about two seconds; and so I have to keep replenishing that ‘high’ with more and more of the same! That is to say, more and more big talk, flamboyant speeches, and promises that I know will appeal to you; even though I cannot possibly keep any of them! I mean, that is precisely how any campaign works! And so: a Vote for Rat is a Vote for Honesty! Thank you.”Zebra: “Are you sure you didn’t leave anything out?”Rat: “Oh, I forgot, you spilled some coffee down your front!”

Not to be mean, but it’s center on not center around.

Smart move. Almost everything is online now.

Even the most radical candidate has to present the appearance of prudence. Rat is shrewder than we think!

Like. :- ((I had to hold the shift button down to make that parent. That was a lot of work. I think I’ll go take a nap.)

For the record, “Pearls” is mentioned in today’s Frog Applause …
