Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 26, 2012

i know have a sunday comic where readers send in request and ideas for strips…. and give me credit if you use this idea!!!

I’d like panel 3

I’m for panel #6.

Chad Carpenter, who draws Tundra gives credit to the readers who submit ideas.

Stephan, see what kind of followers you attract? Get help!

The one thing Steph isn’t telling you is that all of those ideas were from his relatives…

More cow bell

Mr Pastis,Please ignore all of these comments.Including this one…No, Wait… Except this one.

Ah, nevermind

Has Cartoon Boy been reading the banal Comments section again? Give it up, Cartoon-Pastis. Reading these comments will just give you a headache….

You need a Hillbilly into your strip to react with the crocs

Actually “rat getting wasted at Disneyland” has potential – maybe he could be hired as a holiday substitute for Mickey Mouse or some such. A sickly-cute murine, and a resolutely uncute murine….

More #6, More #6, More #6!!!!!!!

Rat at Disneyland. Rat punching Goofy, Mickey, etc and raging around the park demanding that they release Uncle Remus from the dungeon where they’ve been hiding him since the 60’s.

Just reading it gave me a laughing whiplash.

Is this why we can’t comment on Brooke McEldowney’s Pibgorn or 9 Chickweed Lane?

Or have Duck kill Rat. PLEASE.

Dude, keep up the good work. Croc’s Rock

I’ll bet that all of these are actual suggestions from readers.

I’m a big fan of letting the cartoonist do the cartoon the way he wants to do the cartoon. If a commentator doesn’t like it, my opinion is that the commentator should shut the f up and start his own cartoon.

If you’re not taking flak, you’re not over the target.

I have a request: Get out of your mom’s basement and get a REAL job!

Wow! If people only knew what it took to make these comic strips.

This strip is so unique it makes me wonder where he actually gets his inspiration from. Love it!

ok. so we just got handed a non-toon on a sunday. thanks.

This one today made me laugh.

But my idea is a really good one.

Awwwww. Poor Stephan!

It looks like he needs an asprin.

xxx

You can’t please everyone, so why try? He must be doing something right…

Sounds like Rat wrote that last one…

I think Steph should introduce a competent croc.

well now that he brings it up….please NO MORE CROCS!!! They are NOT FUNNY in the slightest. It actually makes me sad when I open the paper/call up this site & see a crocs strip.

Rat/Pig/Goat are so awesome, even the puns strips are amusing – why on earth do you need to resort to jokes about ignoramuses who communicate in illiterate patois?

I’m sure Rat’s been there and done that!

Pastis shows his true colors……..KILL ALL THEM PEARLS CHARACTERS….Leave Pakistan.

“More crocs… less crocs. LOL!!!”Let’s all go get croc-ed..“HIC! How dry I am! HIC!”

As nice as suggestion Nº 3 would be, I have only one request: Bring back Sweet Fanny!

All feature films have crappy sequels. (Newton’s Fourth Law of motion.)

I have a suggestion! The crocs should come up with a really stupid plan to eat Zeeba Neighbor, which fails and one of the crocs dies.

You are welcome to use my idea — I only want half the pay we get for it. :)

-Cougar :{)

I just bought a book of rejected New Yorker cartoons. The editor had each cartoonist answer some stock questions. One was “I have a great idea for a cartoon. Would you like to hear it?” The answers all boiled down to either “no” or “hell, no.”

I bet these are real suggestions Stephan received

Me theenk more croks ees gud idea. You tell zeebas no worry. We ees just innosent floteing logs.

Panel 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panel 6 and 7.

No wonder people sometimes try to get pearls booted from their paper!

I’d like 1, 2, and 8.
