Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 12, 2017

Hitting people with a stick is Rat’s idea of a working vacation.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” – Theodore Roosevelt

At least Drumpf is only spending all HIS time running around hitting a little white ball with a stick… Actually he’s RIDING around in his Golf cart…

Does Rat say “Ya fired” while he does it?

Well since you’ve been donating your salary I reckon it is all for nothing.

Really. You can’t give a guy all this power and not expect him to use it, can you? Of course not. It’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can’t pass that up. It would be immoral!

Nothing beats hitting people with the Executive Branch!

As I always say, what good is being an executive if you never get to execute anyone?

Don’t tell me he became a president because he’s unpopular.

I see Rat is channeling his inner Theodore Roosevelt…

He never knew being president would be so boring.

So…I guess you can say he’s being ‘carted’, like Malia, according to Yahoo! News (which is an oxymoron). Lookit up, Trumpons).

Wow,feel the hate.

ya’ll sound like you hate tRump more than I do… which I find nearly impossible.

This is more like the basic concept of fascism. The ‘fasces’ symbol was a bundle of sticks that could be used to hit people.

So Rat is a not so veiled parody of tRump. Is Pastis intimating that tRump wants to “Stick” it to people?

wouldnt kim jong un be one of the crocs in this strip?

As Nixon would say, it’s not a crime if the President does it.

Rat is so pathetic. Hitting people with a stick.

So, to whom is Pres. Rat going to stick it?

The timing on this one. Charlottesville. Ouch.

Just STICK with it!

What is he? A part-time president? On the other hand, that really makes a lot of sense! You can’t do too much damage if you only come in once a month.
