Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 15, 2019

And Pig’s mug is purple

Stefan makes a strong case in the last panel!

Nice, Stephen.

I’m a Mauve person myself.

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble…

YOU ARE ALL WRONG! Pantone has declared “19-4052 Classic Blue” the Color of the Year for 2020.

We’re all bubble-wrapped, I guess. Certainly, I choose to pay more attention to opinions that I agree with, though I try to pay some attention to the idiots who provide counterpoint. And I do pay attention to sources of actual factual data. Which is harder to come by than you might think.

Pig is jealous because he is not purple. But Pink’s time will come.

Come on, Stephan. Surely this is not a suggestion that we listen to what those accursed Trump [haters/followers] (pick one) are trying to tell us?

We’re not PBS fans because we were programmed to be. We’re all just stupid enough to like lame puns.

don’t let anything burst your bubble…

Bring back Farina!

There is no purple. There is only blue with a touch of jaundice.

Very insightful.

I do believe that all of these people in their bubbles are suffering from VD (vitriolic diatribe)

Thank God Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine back in the day!

Surprised Pastis didn’t appear to tell Rat off or ask for his own strip back.

Purple is a primary color of the soon to be World Champion Baltimore Ravens!

92 minutes of standing ovations.

Finally, a cone of silence that really works.

How about shades of Soylent Green

Purple = Royalty … Croc Power !

Yea, tell me what I want to hear, not what I need to know.

That is maybe the greatest problem of the world today. Too many people are living in their own little private bubble and do not know or care about what goes on out side that bubble. They then go all crazy when something happens that effects the bubble and act all surprised when it happens.

Oh, to be so wise as to be in the bubble that contains all bubbles.

I was “born to the purple”, but switched at birth.

Truth.

What a load of hooey. Everyone knows burnt sienna is the best color.

As my God given right, I will not give up my purple crayon until they unwrap it from my cold dead clammy fingers!

There is a white bubble around the White House.

This is the best book I have found for coordinating your wardrobe colors; https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/showing-your-colors-jeanne-allen/1114987651

The universe is a distressingly large place, so much so that most beings prefer to live somewhere smaller, preferably of their own devising, and this is in fact, what most beings do. (Douglas Adams, The Hichhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.)

Pastis as a social commentator? Pshaw—he’s far too intellectually lazy. I read him for cheap jokes about Pig.

Pastis has clearly been reading “Loserthink,” the latest book from Scott Adams.

Start wearing purple wearing purple,

Start wearing purple, for me now.

All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,

I promise, it’s just a matter of time.

So yeah start wearing purple wearing purple,

Start wearing purple, for me now.

I promise, it’s just a matter of time.

I know you since you were a twenty and I was twenty,

But thought that some years from now

A purple little little lady will be perfect.

For dirty old and useless clown.

So yeah, start wearing purple wearing purple!

Start wearing purple for me now!

All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,

I promise, it’s just a matter of time!

I know it all from Diogenis to Foucault

From Lozgechkin to Paspartu

I ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza

Schto muzika poshla ot Zvukov Mu!

I prefer blue myself.

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater

(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater)

A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater

Sure looks strange to me

I love how Stephan’s characters are always revolting against him!

As and expert on comic strips, I can say Pearls Before Swine is the best!

I identify as Purple.

Purple is best, Go Ravens

Blue + red = purple.

RAT is behind this…..obscene purple bubble….he knocked out Pastis and took over his drawing board……

I hate purple and have none anywhere in my home. Green rules, or it should!

I do read better strips: Fox Trot, for example

Confirmation Bias…the new “truth”. So long Critical Thinking. You’ve had a good run.

For readers of Cleo and Company on Sherpa, we all know it is PURPLIE!! And we love it!

I think I’ll just stay in my bubble, the one which rejects the Flat Earth Society as a bunch of idiots.

Huge fan of purple, I approve of this message… err oh wait ;-)

Shouldn’t that be Pastis in the center where Rat is standing? Or maybe that entire last panel in one big bubble? And then Pastis himself in a larger bubble? Wait… what if we’re all part of a cosmic cartoon bubble, that’s only one of many ongoing universal strips?

The only one that is true to nature is Family Circle. They’ve had the bubble thing down for years. Far sight and Universal Consciousness.

Transparent is clearly the best color.

You should buy my book, “Purple Is Best.”

Bubble O’Rat…

Purple is a mixture of red and blue which means a compromise of ideas from both parties. That will certainly never happen. Prime colors rule!

He got it right. That IS purple, not violet (red + blue).

My favorite end of the visible spectrum, as a red-green deficient guy. However, weather maps legend colors not matching any map colors is maddening. And, what’s with different shades of purple? Can’t be melanin, can it?

So, is Rat the Purp-etrator of all this?

“♪♫ When the deep purple falls…”

Purple still reigns in Minneapolis (and I mean Prince, not the Viqueens).

I prefer yellow, red can denote hate,devil, etc…..blue, cold,sad…..green, not bad,but then there’s weeds…….yellow, sun,happy,smiles……..yep, yellow the best…..just saying

Oooh, the colours.

People eaters are purple.

They are all Deep Purple and Prince fans .

Which is why you hear more about other colors than purple, their better than purple.

Blasphemy!! BLUE is the best color!! Haven’t you heard of “ROYAL BLUE” ?!?!?!

Is “pizza” a colour?

Didn’t suspect that Left Coast Cartoon-Boy would be a Northwestern U. fan.

Anyway, I gotta get back into my own protective bubble, viewing only what I find agreeable.

Go away, Pig, or learn to to play the Game!

If all they have to compare is Stephan, I’m not surprised they’d say that…

How news used to be presented is that no one talked about anything other than purple. The purple newspeople are very upset that this changed.

You guys should read Cathy, not this one!!! (I have actually see such comments posted here)

What color is your favorite?

Proof by lack of evidence.

I LOVE LEAN!!!
