Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 15, 2017

Don’t worry, Pig, Sam will save Fredo.

Why not? Bilbo Stole the Ring from Gollum…

I never got to watch /The Godfather/ trilogy, but I did get to watch /The Lord of the Ring/ trilogy.

Frito, Moxie, Pepsi, Goodgulf (I think), Sorehead…anybody remember the rest of the character names from National Lampoon’s “Bored of the Rings”?

“I know it was you Frodo! You broke my heart!”……

Me thinks Pig needs his hearing checked :-)

Bilbo was a gun-for-hire working for a thug named Gandalf, aka ‘the wizard’, who was an enforcer of boss Thorin Oakenshield. Bilbo is known to have participated in the assault to Lonely Mountain with the 13 Dwarves gang. The Hobbits were into something…

Pig’s sure off the mark with that claim. True, Bilbo may not have been its key instigator, but he was definitely the principal burglar in the whole robbery scheme. Tolkien didn’t name him Baggins for no reason.

“They” say that Godfather III is the weakest of the trilogy. But even it wouldn’t off a hobbit. Hobbits, unlike the Mafia, are fictitious.

‘Fraido you’re wrong about Fredo, Pig.

Pig. That’s not a Sicilian name, is it? No respect….

I believe that Michael did the deed himself. He didn’t “have Fredo shot”.

Is it weird that I’ve never seen not one Godfather movie?

Goat should not make a hobbit of spoiling plot surprises.

ATTORNEYS AND COMIC STRIP ARTISTS DON’T MIX!

Crocs before it’s too late.

Take the Pig, leave the cannoli!

What I’ve long-suspected has finally been proven true — punning has become a “hobbit” with Pastis!

Don’t worry, Mike will never put out a contract on Fredo while Mama’s still alive.

(Tom, put out a contract on Mama!)

Never watched any of the Godfather films.

Awaiting shocked gasps…

“Hobbits and organized crime don’t mix”

Pig has obviously never met the Bag’s End Thieves Guild

One ring to make ‘em an offer they can’t refuse.

Well they are good at kneeing people just like his great great great cousin Rat

The Godfather of the Rings!

Hey, try banning alcohol in the shire, it’ll be ten times as bad as banning alcohol in the US was.

Pig doesn’t want Titanic spoiled but he’s fine with this?

I’m reading Lord of the rings right now.
