Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 02, 2024

Ooooh, foreshadowing

If you were dead, Rat, you’d be in a place with flames, not clouds.

If he kills off Rat and Pig he’ll have to bring back Zebra and the Crocs. He can’t rely on Goat to provide the humor.

All he has to do is catch Rat in a trap with beer as bait.

Did he borrow those clouds from the flat earth society?

I can’t recall seeing them at a diner. (?)

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!

Don’t hang around, ’cause two’s a crowd!

Cloudy with a chance of pork chops eh.

Don’t tell me that Pig and Rat have *PAST*is away! ;)

The “talking wall” is borrowed from PEANUTS!

The thought has crossed my mind.

It’s worked before.

Pastis saved his art to the Cloud.

More like Pastis is putting Pig and Rat in cloud storage.

YES!

I am SO PROUD of Stephen Pastis for today’s comic strip; he FINALLY has 4(four) different panels out of the 4(four) panels he has to use for his comic strip!!!! Dan aka…ps YAY!!!!

I have often thought that about rat. But it usually passes.

Cloud storage.

Four Panels , and Seven bubbles for the text ; almost as if he knows that T-47 will be back in office soon, and there will be Blue Skies again. Never saw the sun shining so bright.Never saw things going so right. Never had a President ,so willing to Fight , Fight , Fight. Blue skies smiling at me,Nothing but blue skies do I see.

Pig always has his head in the clouds!

Something’s missing. A harp or wings. A gate.

Killing off the Rat inside you isn’t actually possible, Stephan. You can’t have all Yin and no Yang, the Universe just isn’t set up like that.

The comma between sad and little is duly noted.

I can draw a house and a flower. I’m here if you need me, Pastis!

I don’t recall that Stephan ever got the last word before!

Bob Ross: clouds and happy little trees

Just don’t kill Pig.

I do not think Rat would be on a cloud if he were dead. More likely at a BBQ.

You’d better watch your mouth, Rat. Stephan could erase from existence.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. This explains the three meatballs.

Harsh! Rat is my alter ego.

He may be a sad, little fraud, be he does deign to come down to your comic-strip-level existence to let you complain to him personally. Try to show some appreciation… oh wait, this is Rat, after all.

Sometimes you gotta know your limits… and stick to them.

Stephan has a good idea for Day of the Dead.

Even if they die, they don’t love Jesus, so I doubt they will be going North.

¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!

Good one!

LOL!!!!

Say hi to Elvis while you’re up there.

Living on a cloud can be fun, thunderstorms excepted.

The Count wonders if Larry the crocodile is up there? Actually, The Count wonders if Larry the Crocodile is anywhere? The Count misses Larry the Crocodile. :.( <—- Sad Count.

Then he’d have to draw a coffin. Those require straight lines and angles – better he stick with the cloud.

Thanks Steph.

On average, that would be Cloud Four and a half.

If Mr Pastis does his work on a PC, he could set his background as the flying toasters

Hey, at least he stippled all the backgrounds by hand!/s/

There is a Pastis drawin’ a cloud, Rat likes to bat him for bad puns. . .

He could draw them in space, that’s easy

A turnaround. Stephan is the one doing the insulting. He finally realized he’s the one doing the drawing.

I am just howling; this is a funny ’toon — LOLOL

You would think after all this time Pastis would have developed better drawing skills.

Gitchyer stinky feets off my Word Docs!!!

im in my prime

If you do get Rat killed, there won’t be blue skies and clouds where HE’S going!

Did Stephan design the Tesla cybertruck then?

We know he’s never going to draw them on bicycles…
