Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 04, 2019

It better not be that low-cal, low alcohol crap.

Rat at last has a religion he can believe in.

Actually various intoxicants were included in human rituals for tens of thousands of years.

Taking a lesson from Congress, the Great Magic Bunny is now serving Newcastle Brown Ale.

The Catholic Church is a little classier. They serve wine.

Careful all liquid that looks golden is not beer. Especially if there is someone living in that hat! :P

Careful! All liquids that look gold are not beer! Especially if someone is living in the keg.

But they manage to feel guilty afterwards

On the seventh day the Great Magic Bunny gave them Nascar and it was good

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Rat’s mug of joy floweth over!

ahh alcohol the cause of and solution to all of lifes problems

This religion shows promise……at least for Rat anyway….

‘Beer is proof God is good and loves us.’ Ben Franklin

Well Pig you got what Rat wanted ! ……… Croc Power ! ……….. Everyone :-) 4th !

At least the Great Bunny is actually visible.

Father Guido Sarducci says drink of the grape but do not let your cup runneth over…..

In heaven there is no beer, that’s why we drink it here.

Beer is proof God loves us.

How do I find the Great Magic Bunny place of worship in my area? I want to join and even attend daily.

I’d prefer bottomless boxed wine, please.

The Magic Bunny is certainly on the same wavelength as Rat.

I believe…I believe…I will have another! Hic!

A great addition to any 4th of July bbq.

No segue to this off-topic topic. I just couldn’t where else to bring this piece of news that I think will be appreciated here.

RIP Alfred E. Neuman, age 67

“Mad” magazine is ceasing publication [of new material] after nearly seven decades. Layoffs are underway.

So, if you wanna cry a little, here are Don Martin’s comic sound effects for crying… and ending with one cuss word.

Bahoo bahoo bahoo

shnorkle slobble sob

skreeeeeek

Hmm….Man ignores God and says “we want to do things our own way and decide for ourselves what is right and wrong”.

Man then messes everything up and gets himself into an awful state. He ruins the earth and himself.

Man then wants God to step in and fix everything, so that man can once again ignore God and do things his own way

Yeast worship.

Beer is Hoppy,so yes there is a Magic Bunny ;)

So believe in the magic bunny and its free beer forever?

Well, that sure made Rat happy

Beer??? But the caption says “Pop”

Opiate of the masses.

We would not have civilization if it wasn’t for beer. Weird, but true. Think about it.

Yeah. Great

…now that I can’t drink it….

Wine, beer, poTAto, poTAHto…. it’s booze. Take yer pick. I think the cartoonist has been taking some major jabs at religion lately. Treading shallow ice there, my friend. And you’re making your commenters enemies of one another. What happened to the humor and fun?

Although I have to admit… this strip was kinda funny.

Oh Lord, why?

And as for your next question, your answer is ‘42’.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I’d settle for a cupcake.

I take it Pastis is an atheist.

Hmm. Tastes like sweaty felt.

Wait until you taste it before you celebrate, Rat. It may artisanal crap beer….

Uh, considering there’s a giant rabbit in that hat… are they sure that’s BEER?

Sly allusion to a Ben Franklin quote, the one about beer being proof God wants us to be happy.

And on July Fourth. Nice.
