Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 25, 2019

Rats head is full of minions.

Remind me to avoid Rat’s head.

And his baseball bat.

Rat’s mind is plagued by demons.

just like eric cartman’s head

Those are some disturbed emojis.

I would like to get a pass to share Pig’s head. Call me pig headed, I don’t care.

Thank goodness we don’t live on Altair IV.

That is a surprisingly well drawn bird in the first panel. Way to go, Steph!

Rat should have known better! His mind is an ugly place!!

That frame reminded me of the “San Venganza” showdown in Ghost Rider!

Rat’s mind isn’t nearly as scary as I expected.

Pig is riding the rainbow!

Shades of Ralph Steadman

There coming to take me away.. ha,ha .to the funny farm where life is beautiful all day long ….

“Attention everyone, do NOT take any of the brown acid, the brown acid is bad….”

Pig really shouldn’t allow Rat to do the Vulcan mind-meld when he wants to see happiness

Rat should practice Mind over Matter: if you don’t Mind, it doesn’t Matter!

Are those musical notes spewing from the rabbit’s butt? That’s nearly as disturbing as rat’s vision.

What ever happened to Ralph Steadman?

It is where his demons hide.

The musical notes are playing “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows”. Looks like Pig already ate the lollipops.

He just dropped in to see what condition, his condition was in.

Rat has a lot of issues.

Meditation is not for everyone.

I’m surprised that Rat’s mind wasn’t occupied by images of logos from old-time beer companies!

This explains much.

Must be those insincere thoughts and prayers…

That is really mild compared to the chaos in my mind. The emoji’s I would need would probably be banned by the Geneva convention and the Khitomer Accords.

Did you mean to make it look like the bunny is farting???

Pig’s meditation state features a music-farting bunny. I wonder what song it’s tooting?

Would you want to live in your own mind? Think about it …

Bippy came back Rat, he is here for you.

And those emojis are his milder ones, during his less-insane moments. You should see the ones that hit when he drinks coffee.

Hmmmmm, all I see is a bunch of Grey mush!

Kudos on the first panel, Mr. Pastis! And Watterson thought you couldn’t do it…

Rat regrets seeing The Emoji Movie a couple years ago

I. Am. Rat.

It’s Pig that should be afraid of Angry Birds.

Pig’s looks like that creepy Rainbow Bridge poster.

I hear the Amboy Dukes, “Journey to the center of your mind”.

Did Pastis have a guest artist for that third panel?

Hmmmm, none of them look right.

Ba-a-a-ad trip!

“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.”

I try to think about rainbowsWhen it gets badYou got to think about somethingTo keep from going mad

smiley rainbows. Yes!

Rat’s mind is a scary place to be, even for Rat! Screw Meditation!

And that, Rat, is why I do not look into my own head! Have some wine (or beer or your libation of choice) and the visions fade, the voices get too drunk to talk to you anymore.

Oh Pig! We love you! Don’t ever change.

Very Ralph Steadman

It can be confronting.

Pig’s smile in the last panel is cursed

Wow. His head is not a happy place.
