Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 26, 2011

Hahaha So where’s Alice?

Snurk!!!

You gotta love the melonheads, they make such easy targets!

If we had had our fourth kid first, he might have been an only child!(Just kidding… we love all our kids the same… honest…)

Okay, which one of you guys stood up in front of the 4th wall and heckled? Not only was it not very nice, but it drew the attention of that insufferable FC kid![Terrific strip today, Stephan!]

I did that once and sent a letter. I was having a bad time. I felt forever guilty.

Look on the bright side, Rat.He didn’t say it was as funny as Mary Worth.

Think about it……..why would that dumb Pig be wondering about a study?

reminds me of Amelia Bedelia.

Better’n’better. More…

Was that Statler or Waldorf?

Pig would enjoy the contents of that big old desk that’s always in a study. Think of it…paper, pens, stapler, tape, paperclips (squee!) maybe even gummed reinforcements and brads!!

‘The Family Circus’ is MUCH funnier this way:

You’re right. That dummy would have fun in a study.

HAHA!

lol, too true!!

I love Powell’s book store. Was visiting there recently and found a neat book, “A Stroke of Insight” by Jill Bolte Taylor. Y’all ought to read it.

Obsolutely brilliant. Way to expand the medium

Powell’s! Best bookstore on Earth!

I’ve seen comics break the fourth wall before—but can’t remember one broken from outside, as it were.

Eeeeeeek!

LOL xxx

Hey, I like Family Circus!

I think I’ll stand up and yell that tomorrow night.

The Family Circus has gotten better, I believe, actually… I believe someone “put the heat on” them… I find them more modern and up-to-date now, and am actually laughing at them and finding them funnier than a lot of the other comics I’d read recently… Then, this thing inside of me says, “No, it’s not possible!” So, then I just shrink away and pray the word doesn’t get out that I’m actually finding The Family Circus funny… What to DO?!

Mom!Im in the second panel of Pearls Before Swine comic strip!

That’s exactly what I thought!

Why does he keep insulting his own comic strip? It’s getting very annoying!

You know who that heckler is, Jeffy?Not Me.

Most of us don’t like politics mixed with their comics. I also feel that way about proselytising religious views. That’s my main gripe about Family Circus, and BC.

I love it when the Family Circus kids make cameos……

Mr. Pastis is not responsible for this strip – it was the ‘not me’ ghost!

Rat is reading the “Arizona Daily[?] Iliad[?]” in the first panel, “Increments[?] Woe[?]” second panel, and “Press[?] Domino[?]” in the third panel
