Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 24, 2019

Can’t they put a litter box in the corner for Rat?

Goat is right.

With Rat in the same space, something bad will happen.

He didn’t put the Larry in there.

Why did he include Rat?

why was Stephan Pastis excluded?

What, no Crocs?

On another note, it’s nice to see some other underutilized characters, such as the big fluffy cat and Guard Duck!

Pig, I totally get the impulse, and I wish it would work.

If only it were that simple…

sighs I’ll get the anvil.

When a pig leaves five people to starve, friends or not, he’s the one that’s going to have something bad happen.

I’m sorry for your loss, Stephan. (I have no idea if he’s had a loss, but I just thought I should say it just in case.)

Rat, you mean use the head for hitting? You do that anyway.

I know the feeling. I’m trying to figure out how to shrink wrap my grandson’s head.

Nice to see Zebra, Mr. Snuffles, and Guard Duck again.

I’m surprised that Rat allowed Pig to put him in the box.

Snuffles! It’s been too long!

It doesn’t work with Rat in it, Pig.

You’re guarding the Guard Duck, Pig? Oh the irony!

This one made me remember my childhood “Toy Box” ;-) ….. Croc Power !

…So. Is Grandma gonna remain dead or or they going to retcon it away next week? Or will it turn out that it was a clone of ol’ Babuska that kicked it?

Several years ago, I lost many ex-coworkers in a very short span. This is exactly how I felt.

YAY!!! Guard Duck! Mr. Snuffles! YAY!!!!

Back when we used to sit up waiting for all the kids to get home for the night….

“the head”? Are they in the navy now?

Aw, Pig! He even loves, Rat

I know, Pig. Wish we could really do that.

That is ground zero forthe the Sweet Meteor of Death.

There stands guard duck, ever watchful. After all these years, he still stands guard. ‘Tis as it should be.

YEAH! WHERE THE HELL IS LARRY!!!???

Yeah. My Dad died 2 1/2 years ago. I had to perform CPR on him. No, you can’t always protect your loved ones. More’s the pity.

A best friend died this week. The fifth this year. This is what I need to do.

The asteroid lands in the next panel.

Thing, thing, stay away. Come again some other day.

Pig, are you gonna feed them or something?

So, what is Rat doing in there?

Hey Rat,‘the head’, what, you were in the Nav too?

Welcome to the Ostrich Society of Democrats and Republicans.

This reminds me of when Chester Bennington died. Grunge fans around the world wanted to dig a moat around Eddie Vedder – last man standing.

Very touching.

A safe place is no recomendation

Hmmm, he must really know it’s over between him and Pigita.

I went to a friend’s funeral yesterday and my dad’s last month. Thank you for this.

I thought he was going to stuff the lil guard duck in the mailbox at first!

Ironically, we laid my best childhood friend to rest this week. We played, we drank, we laughed, we chased skirts, and we generally misbehaved together for years. Gonna miss you, Danny.

This last week saw the three month anniversary of my brother dying. I know the feeling.

Hurray for Pig! Bless his little bacon-y butt! And I’m so glad he did not omit Mr. Snuffles. What a nice thing he is doing (if doomed to fail, cuz we all die sooner or later)….

good ol pig (:

Rat’s a squid!

Dear Pig, allow me to share a Truth of Life : Bad things happen to good people!

Awww…he loves Guard Duck.

Awwwwwwww… Pig is so sweet!

You’ve pretty much assured that everyone will be taken out at the same time by the same disaster. Never keep all your friends in one box.
