Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 05, 2017

Now, body slam him!

Does Stephan not know how to spell “precedent”?

I’m sure that ‘pressident’ had a double purpose….PRESS-ident for Rat’s comment, and when read it sounds like president – meaning Rat, which was why the jokester got the tar and feathers.

I think that it had more to do with the comment from Trump’s lawyer where he mispelled President. But with Stephan who can be sure?

I posted the other day about how it’s almost impossible to parody something that’s so bizarre that it feels like parody to begin with. A parody of nutty behavior usually feels like simple reportage because the parody is so nearly like what is already happening. Here’s an example. In mid-December Donald Trump tweeted about the incident involving China’s illegal seizure of a U.S. underwater drone device in the South China Sea. Here’s the tweet… >>> "China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters – rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act.”-@realDonaldTrump<<< When he does something so unbelievable, people often say, “You can’t make this stuff up.” And the fact is, you don’t need to wait for someone to parody him. He does it to himself pretty much every waking hour of his life.

I seriously think the president jokes with Rat are extremely funny. I seriously think the comments to the president jokes with Rat are extremely un-f***in-funny.

To tar and feather was often lethal and permanently disfiguring if you survived. Trump approves

If the RW ever realizes how much Tweety has ‘sold them out’ they may lynch Trump. Beginning with breaking his thumbs….(sorry. I have a cruel streak too)

If you want to see a “Bad President”, look no further then the disaster in the White House right now…if he’s NOT on a golf course somewhere, or at one of HIS hotels scamming more money, or on the john at 3 A.M. Tweeting what the voices in his head are telling him to Tweet…

i just assume that the comic writers would have loved to playfully poke fun at obama, but lived under the fear of being branded racist if they dared suggest that he wasn’t 100% perfect and godlike, so now they have trump’s shenanigans to work with AND 8 years of repressed hostility to work through.

Always loved this strip. You probably don’t care Stephen but if you get political I am gone. Plenty of that elsewhere.

Is Steph on vacation? This one is funny!

Still better than presiCAN’T orange

President Rat blindsiding his staff as usual.

Lotta people here get their undies in a bunch pretty easy.

Wonder how far down Rat’s tie goes……

That’s what happens when you don’t get a Harumph.

Wow. Is that it?

Rat’s obviously going soft… HA!

It’s good to see President Rat maintaining a disciplined staff. Stay on message, Rat. The press can be so annoying!

Probably because Obama knows how to spell basic grade-school level words shrug

Now dump him into a tar pit where the tar belongs!
