Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 20, 2017

Rat would be an improvement over the orange freak that’s being sworn in today.

Ok Rat as President, id rather him be president instead of Trump tbh

Actually, no, LWP, Rat IS the orange-haired freak that has been sworn in today. See? I tried to tell y’all that because of the election of a closet liberal in disguise as a far-right populist Stephan would have Rat be president just because he’s a straw-man populist who’s also been liberal from time to time, but no one ever listened to me. Today is the end of one error and the beginning of an even worse error.

The Reign of Error has begun.

Be afraid. Very afraid. Rat would be a better choice.

Reasons why Rat would make a better president than The Rump:

1. Rat isn’t a “business leader” who’s gone bankrupt six times.

2. Rat isn’t favored by groups like the Klan.

3. Because Rat is a fictional character, we don’t have to worry about him stupidly pushing the Button to find out what it does.

4. At his worst, Rat has never been as cruel or callous as The Rump.

5. There have actually been moments when Rat has been a nice guy, even helpful.

6. Rat shows signs of intelligence.

So we got a “Do-Over” and picked Rat instead of any of the original choices?

Of course, you’ve all missed the point that it was the other candidate that couldn’t seem to put down the brewskis…

A lot of sour grapes here in the comments today

I wish Nona de Above had run. She would have won.

Rat is going to party like it’s 1999 ! Just say NO to the Hil-Da-Beast….BaHaHa

It had to be rat. Who else could it be?

Raise your right hand… take off your hat… raise your right hand… put your left hand here… TAKE OFF YOUR HAT!..

I have advised all members of my group to boycott the broadcast of that inaugural dog and pony show and treat this as just a regular day by hearing or watching other programs. Me and my family are gong to watch TV channels that do not cover this inane event such as Game Show Network, Buzzr (the other game show channel), HGTV, Food Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Disney XD, The Discovery Family Network, and Cartoon Network. Far was we’re concern, this past election year (2016) was nothing but one big political cartoon!

This is a great day for America….Can all you losers can quit whining please? ….and get Rat another beer!

Wah,wah,wah.Buncha damn crybabies.Grow a pair and deal with it.

I quit drinking years ago. It may be time to start again. Four more beers.

Et Tu, Stephan?

Will he actually speak the oath or will he tweet it? My money is on tweet.

I’ve decided I’ll get sit back, crack a beer, and watch the world implode for the next four years. This fool wanted the office of one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. Well, guess what? He got it. And I’m going to take great enjoyment in how he’s going to suffer for it.

Such bad cartooning, Pastis such a Dishonest cartoonist, The failing PBS has lost its way. Sad. So sad!

Rat is not as vindictive or malicious or greedy or racist or misogamist as Trump.

Resist!

I wonder how many Trump supporters know that a YUGE amount of the opposition to him came from CONSERVATIVES? For two reasons: First, Trump is not conservative. Second, Trump is not sane.

I just heard President Trump’s inaugural speech. What a breath of fresh air. Like being confined in a musty, rotting house for eight years and finally being released out into the sunshine.

Hey, Rat, don’t forget to grab some ass while you’re at it! You’re famous. They won’t mind.

Since this is a political strip, I want to say this to everyone.

Trump is officially president. Get over it.

That is all.

xxx

What? Wait.

How did Rat suddenly get elected? We didn’t even see him sweating the vote returns.

I feel cheated….

Borderline, Pastis, borderline. I HATE politics in cartoons that 99% of the time don’t deal with politics. One more and this customer is gone.

I am sorry that I have joined the feed a comic. I will never read this strip again. The he** with you.
