Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 15, 2018

Gonna knock you right on the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead

better board and nail up the closet too

Yeah, don’t let out the skeletons in the closet

Doesn’t Rat know that you should never open a closet when you hear strange noises?

Well, except for that president you voted for. He’s taking care of that payback for us.

The Karma Brothers?!? Weren’t they a hot band on the college circuit in the mid 70’s? I think I caught their act!

Why do there need to be three of them?

I think there’s more then just three skeletons hiding in their closet.

Looks more like death. That’s some bad karma.

Get Zeeba, Karma Brudders!!!!

I sense Fear,Bitterness,and Betrayal coming from that closet.

I like Hot Karma on my ice cream.

Wrong house, guys. You want the closet of Michael Binkley, over in Bloom County.

What, no face-eating leopards?

Hey, Karmas, you’re in the wrong room. Pastis is next door…

Larry, Moe and Curly, the cosmic jokers.

All you back room schemers,

Better find something new to say

Cause you’re the same old story

It’s the same old crime

And you got some heavy dues to pay

It shouldn’t be skeletons. It should be chameleons.

That isn’t a closet, it’s a close-it!

This better be a series.

KARMA SISTERS may be a bit more accurate.

Maybe it’s me, but hearing a knocking inside your closet and deciding to open it sounds like one of those terrible ideas in the first half of a horror movie.

“Hi! We’re War, Famine, and Death. Pestilence is still busy on Twitter…”

Quick! Out to the garage! We can escape in my Karma Ghia!

I believe Karma doesn’t miss out anybody. Do a terrible, unforgivable thing and it’s NEVER forgotten about.

Pig will never be caught—because he’s a karma chameleon.

Shouldn’t at least one of them be dressed as a clown?

“You’ll float too…”

Closed? More like locked, barred, and with the Ghostbuster team standing behind you as a backup!

I have a feeling that we’ll see the Karma Brothers again. That closet door can’t keep a good haunting down forever!

Time to think about Straightening Up your lives, Pig and especially Rat!

Yeah, kinda-gotta give ya’ that-one. But then again, the alternative was just kinda-bit TOO-“scary”, for it’s own-good…

That’s kinda kreepy….
