Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 24, 2014

Yes!

Rat deserved THAT and More!

THIS year?

Rat gets his lumps.

The theme from “Batman” is now playing in my head.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa: “I’ll see your Tonya Harding, and raise you a Tony Soprano.”

Wait until you see what they left in his stocking.

Yeah, if they traded lumps of coal for lumps on Rat’s head, you can only guess what they put in the stocking.

I asked santa to clear our house of it’s rat infestation. Well done, santa!

I mean Santa makes the list, he checks it twice, determines who’s naughty and who’s nice, then what’s he supposed to do? Not send out the Hit-Elfs?

When elves are outlawed, only outlaws will have elves.

Still looks like your not getting a CBS Christmas special

Santa claimed ‘elf defense’!

I think the North Koreans might be attacking my computer. All the strips are loading slow, and PBS didn’t load at all. But the comments did.

Am I the only one who thinks Santa’s elves look like leprechauns?

“Did we say Elves? We meant Enforcers.”

Kids, that is how it really works if you are on Santa’s naughty list.

YAY! Rat gets what he deserves from the elf squad! It’s the Chicago way….

Don’t ask “WHYYYYYY”…Nancy sent us.

Yes, we noticed. Most of us understand MK’s humor.

Crocs? Pleeeze? Even once in awhile? Pleeeeze?

Good morning PBS commenters. Good on you Elves. Pay back,came for Rat. :) Peace.

I can’t explain it, but I have always gotten a kick out of the clenched teeth angry faces that Pastis draws onto his characters. Also the cartoonish both-feet-off-the-ground pose as they administer beatings with a baseball bat. IDK, maybe it’s just my fondness for the classics.

Best Christmas Present ever!

Karma’s a bitch, huh, Rat?

Rat, meet Santa’s bat.

Ahhh! That felt good.

I love it when something like this happens to Rat. Like Christmas, if it happened too often, it wouldn’t be special.

No, you’re thinking of “faggots”.

Give it a rest already. It is starting to resemble bullying. They very thing “others” are accused of.

Pete must have showered this year.

If the elves and crocodiles mingled…..
