Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 04, 2018

Mom and Dad could’ve told their kid how they managed to survive so long in a dangerous profession.

They learn how to swing bats at a very young age. That doesn’t mean they learn to swing with any accuracy at a very young age.

What does Papá Pablo Piñata do to support the family if he’s not bashed into smithereens making his wife Paloma not a widow?

At least he has a built-in reward system.

Maybe I’ll just go out and get smashed.

Better for the son (and baseball) if he’d teach kids how to bunt.

Nothing like taking over the family business…..Croc Power

…Great merchandising oppod for the pinata, Steph!!

Have you considered dentistry?

so that’s it? You’re going to leave us hanging with the anticipation of the fallout? What a smashing you deserve.

What’s Stephan got against pinatas lately? They just want to hang around.

Paco Piñata is going into politics. First stop, City Council.

Letting him fill up on candy was probably a bad idea.

Today’s strip is rated PG.

Poor Pablo won’t make it to the party tonight.

The world is a cruel place. Better he learn the hard way.

do kids ever listen to a parent’s advice when it comes to their first life’s choices?

Well, since nobody else said it …

Paco is going to give everything he has for his new job.

Pablo is between jobs right now; his future is kinda blowing in the wind.

They work for Hershy or Mars? Isn’t it time for the prime candy sales season to begin?

I imagine that family has experienced a lot of losses. Now, Paco is courting danger. Sad. They should have had The Talk with him, the Truth About Piñatas!

I laughed at this out loud in a public place. I got wierd looks. Then I showed them this comic. You have more followers now. You’re welcome.

Goodbye, paco piñata. May you Rest In Peace.
