Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 16, 2017

But Matthew’s lawyer wants to talk to Stephan.

Does the estate of Charles Schulz have a case against Planter’s?

Pastis should be more concerned about the guy that copyrighted the pun.

The short version of a joke I may have posted before. Dorothy Parker and Clair Boothe Luce, ardent frienemies, reach a revolving door simultaneously. Luce steps back and says, “Age before beauty.” Dorothy Parker breezes through the door, saying over her shoulder, “Pearls before swine.”

the bible. where even the featured FOUR BOOKS about a single guy, can’t even get their stories straight.

What about Minnie? Doesn’t she get something to say in this matter?

Never really thought about it, but if the strip is Stephan’s Pearls he is casting, that makes us the Swine?

Ok, when a strip gets self-referential, it’s jumped the shark.

We have “progressed” from a culture where the “Ten Suggestions” were important enough to be chiseled upon the facade of the Supreme Court Building to one where the origin of the 200 or so commonly used phrases coming directly from the same book are unknown. Maybe at some point the animal with both brain power and opposable thumbs will find out where, how, and maybe even why the “accidental Big Bang” where nothing exploded into something occurred.

Who did Rat hire as a lawyer, Stephan Pastis? That’ll end well.

FYI You can’t copyright a title, but you can trademark it.

Always wondered where Stephan came up with his title. Interesing that he took it from a book of religious mythology.

I am pretty sure Pastis considers his puns as pearls, and us as the swine.

read the entire Bible this year…then read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John again, then start at Genesis and read from start to finish again, and the Truth will be Known

Good luck with that lawsuit, Rat!

I think the Other Side has a pretty potent team….

No Trump references in these comments? What a blessing!

Brute beauty and valor and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billionTimes told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!The language that describes events contrary to common sense must necessarily be metaphorical. In the field of quantum mechanics we know events happen that defy all common logic. A particle moves from point A to point B instantly without traversing the space between. A particle can exist in two places at once. A pre-particle manifests as an overlapping set of probabilities, including existence and non existence, till the probability field collapses into one or the other and the particle exists or doesn’t . So it was with the proto universe. No time, no space, nof matter, no forces, no energies. This is what “nothingness” means. That can be pictured as an infinitely small point from which all that we now see and all that we don’t see “exploded.” There “were” infinite possibilities, ripening into more likely probabilities and ultimately collapsing into, well, THIS. I prefer to think not of a big bang but the Great Flowering Forth of all followed by the interactions of the products of the flowering that eventually leads to you and me.

The world, charged with grandeur, flames out like shining from foil, shaken, and gathers to greatness. Either that, or it’s all an extremely complex origami project folded by a Cosmic Child as its first grade graduation thesis.

Steph, your comic strip title is a rip-off from the Bible! HOW DARE YOU?!?! (JK, I know it’s just inspired from that Bible quote)

His lawyer is Pastis

PBS should totally sue. Amiright guys.

But dogs are holy! The Bible is mean… ):
