Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 14, 2012

Probably have to nickle and dime Burl Penny.

I wonder will Richard Thompson appear in this strip as a revenge for knocking him unconcious a few strips back

(28-02-2012 strip)

Andy was three sheets to the wind, and was feeling no pain.

Andy Capp? But he’s all the way in England!

Andy Capp just got plugged.

… heard unsubstantiated rumors that they’ve been P.C.-ifying Andy Capp so that, among other things, he’s not so drunk anymore.Smokes less, isn’t as funny, etc.sigh I suppose it had to happen.

And plug the Pluggers?

So who are the famous West coast cartoonists, and who are the East coast ones? West Coast has Dilbert’s Scott Adams, and the late Charles Schulz of Peanuts. I bet most of the rest are East Coast.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought this was the East Coast-West Coast Cartoonists War. Andy Capp is totally a British strip I thought. Or are have Roger Mahoney and Roger Kettle been doing the strip in the US after taking up for Andy Capp’s late creator, Reg Smyth?

Why guns? It’s a cartoonist war. Why not stupid pranks?

I just learned about Rullet pizza, 7 slices of normal deliciousness, one slice with very hot pepper sauce instead. Game is to serve randomly and whoever the group thinks had the nuke pays. Strikes me as more fertile ground for jokes then a cartoonist war with a former lawyer with a piece.

That explains why Andy is crouched behind the bar today.

I hate gang wars, but at least this one should have some great graffiti.

Nabuq, the only place you can find those firearms nowadays is in the Museum of Antique Cartoon Weaponry.

I’m sure Pastis sleeps with a loaded MacBook handy, though.

I really do hope so. Solange would deal with rat, no problem.

Pastis pops a cap! He’s wearing’ his gangsta cap, too!

I would think anyone could tell which slice was loaded up.

“East coast / West coast” obviously refers to the two coasts of the Atlantic.

Say, whatever happened to “Trevor”? It was a decent cartoon.

We can only hope that Stephan gets to Snuff Smith and K.O. B.C.

Not Funky!! But Family Circus for sure.

Where does Brooke McEldowney come from? Watch out Steph. If Brooke sends you his succubus Drusilla, you’re gonna be in big time trouble….

where is guard duck and hellikitty…………………..

Technically, of course, Andy Capp is a creation, not a cartoonist. But who could pass up the chance to put a cap in Capp?

..and eliminate Big Nate

and when the hapless family’s bullet riddled corpses are found strewn about the circle, Dick Tracy is left to wonder who was responsible for the carnage.but his prime suspects were “NOTME” and “IDA KNOW”

Where’s guard Duck during all this commotion…

Remember the drawing board!

OC – Original Cartoonist!!!

That Steph, he’s one bad motha . . SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!I’m just talkin’ about Steph.We can dig it!

I’m gonna bust some shots off!!I’m gonna dust some Capps off!!!Capp killa!!!

THIS IS WAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al Capp has just risen from his grave in Massachusetts and is slouching toward California to revenge his namesake.

That is true…and they are limber too.

Do we get to submit a list? I say get rid of Marmaduke, The Family Circus, Mary Worth, Judge Parker and any other dwebe comics. Becareful with Mary Worth though, I think she has a roscoe in her garters.

Watch your back, Number 6! Capp was a long shot but Oscar & Wild might jest be next. . . . . ☺Pastis is packing a magnum . . . Dirty Stephen?!? . . ☻

What is Steph trying to protect with that mattress? It couldn’t even stop a sneeze.

Actually with Steph always having to deal with Rat, it’s amazing that HE hasn’t taken to drink!

Just be careful with Lio, you do NOT want to get on Cybil’s bad side.Although a showdown between Cybil and ’lil Guard Duck could prove interesting…

Roulette pizza…that’s pretty good. There used to be a Special forces game called “smile…” anybody remember THAT one?

I was wondering how the cartoonists get to the other coast. Because the TSA should stop them for sure for traveling with weapons of mass distraction.

If they send Hagar the Horrible crashing through, game over!

Andy Capp will never be the same again.

R.I.P Mr Reg Smythe (1917 – 1998)

Why does he need a mattress to hide behind? There’ s a perfectly good wall right there.

This cartoonist got the name for this strip from a Monty Python sketch, “Pearls For Swine.”

My hit list (i.e., list of comics to “hit”) would include:- Cul de sac- Frazz- Red and Rover- Mutts- Baldo- Baby BluesHow ’bout yours?

Is this the same gun the Venus flytrap used on the uncooperative flies?

HA HA HA HA!!!! Bet Number Three loves this one!!!!

Hrrmmph!!! The violence in comics is despicable!

Just send over Betty Boop… They’ll stop shooting for a while… :-)

I do like this arc though, pretty entertaining.

All I wanna do is [BAM BAM BAM BAM] and [KACHING] and take your money!~M.I.A., Paper Planes

I saw this in the paper and I had to write the editor on this. At the time, they were censoring “Doonesbury” and I wondered, why censor one and not the other? Most kids, I can guarantee you, don’t look at “Doonesbury”, but there are talking animals in this strip, and now thousands of kids must be wondering what it means to “cap” someone…

probly have to shove bill watterson under the water.
