Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 17, 2018

There is no escape.

I guess N Korea decided to strike first in spite of Singapore.

There is no way to get away form the long arm of catastrophe.

THE END IS COMING!!!!

Pig, I’m with you. Everyone needs a meadow.

What he needed was a peaceful and serene bomb shelter.

All that is necessary for the triumph of politicians is that good men do nothing

This time it is the big rock from outer space, they already had nuclear war

Of course, according to the POTUS, it’s all the democrats’ fault.

I remember going to sleep knowing the country would still be there in the morning. Now I can’t sleep wondering what new horror awaits.

Aren’t we all pig. Aren’t we all. :-(

Stephan is right on the money here. Turn off the TV. Focus on other things besides the news and you will be happier.

Pig’s got the right idea

I smell irradiated bacon! Pretty dark, there, Stephan. :-)

Kind of like Opus. https://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty/2018/06/11?ct=v&cti=1312075

If that happens it doesn’t much matter who pushed the button.

if you build it, they will come….in hazmat suits

Not immediately,no.

Shouldn’t there be dandelions in that meadow?

He leads me beside still waters and makes me lie down in green pastures. Be anxious for nothing. Happy Father’s day Larry!

“Pearls Before Swine” just turned into “The Day After”.

That’s okay. I’ll take the very remote possibility of nuclear war over the pernicious effects of The News. And I’d welcome the meteor. Maybe whatever evolved afterward would have no need for The News.

Ignorance is bliss.

Until they pave his paradise to put up a parking lot.

Isn’t this where the Apes take over?

Avatr, Ok two problems with that. First, an illegal, by definition, has no “fair share of the American pie”. We baked it, so it’s ours. If we choose to share it, that doesn’t negate the fact that it’s ours. Second, and more importantly, the Dems are worried about just about everything happening in this country at this time. They would have more intelligent ways to deal with it. But, as soon as you put the word “too” in your argument, you are admitting that it is Trump’s mess. If your best argument for supporting Trump is that the Democrats are awful too, maybe you need to rethink your support.

Pig might run into Opus in his dandelion patch.

Don’t worry about the nuke. Trump already pardoned the bomber so his team won’t “flip”.

Happy Father’s Day, America!

How do I find a peaceful meadow when my favorite cartoons are becoming political too! (Not only this one, but many others are not able to escape the gravitational pull of today’s black-hole of politics. So many regular cartoonists are feeling compelled to raise their voices.)

I guess the message is that no matter how safe you think you are, Life will somehow intervene. Even if “Life” really means Death.

“Go ahead and putt,…”

Old panel cartoon. And it may not even be the first.

society’s values started deteriorating from the 70’s under Peanut Farmer Carter and accelerated under the libs vitriol beginning with Bush. Trump has done nothing more than just to give a public voice to what right of center Americans have already been saying for years about the media and libs. Now that the right has someone who stands with them and is not silenced any longer, the left can’t handle it.

We’ll all go together when we go.

If I wait another 2 1/2 years it might all go away. Wishful thinking.

I think Pig chose this meadow on a lark.

It already affected his meadow…the daisies went missing at the back of the field on the right even before the great KABOOM. (“Where’s the KABOOM? There was supposed to be a great KABOOM” – Marvin The Martian)

Does it have dandelions??

Damn, man, lighten up, comics are supposed to be fun. I know, let’s sing a song!If the button is pushed, there’s no running away,There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave,Take a look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy,And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,Ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

Came for the Opus reference, leaving satisfied.

Is this near Milo’s Meadow?

Gosh! 1950s nostalgia!

You know what this reminds me of? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Id_r6pNsus

Ahhh…MAN, that is really going to Harsh your Meadow. (With apologizes to Cheech and Chong).

We need to be part of the solution otherwise we are part of the problem. We need more good people who realize the need to get involved and do something and not expect others to take care of our problems. We need to take care of ourselves and of others. While a peaceful meadow can be thought of as a safe haven, a singular isolated peaceful meadow is not in a world of angst. We need to be aware of what is going on in our world and our communities. We need to be concerned and active and not "check out’ and function as an ostrich. Be concerned, active, and aware, Pig. That is what you need to know

@Outlaw: How can you justify supporting a psychopath?

So, Cartoon-Boy, what would happen if you combined [ideas stolen from—STRIKE THAT] inspiration from Bloom County (the meadow for meditation) and Lio (who tends to blow up nearby cities with his nuclear weapons from time to time)? Would it make Pig happy? Would it make crafting a Sunday strip without a pun easier? Well, would it?

“If the button is pushed, there will be no running away, a world in a grave

Life is a mix of cruel, death, happiness and success. But not all are happy and successful.

Opus of Bloom County is in the dandelion patch next to Pig’s meadow

How can ignorance be bliss when you have a fear of the unknown?
