Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 06, 2017

The same people who play bridge are the same people who still read newspapers.

Hey Mr Pastis can u do more zebra/croc strips? They r hilarious!

Rat was being a dummy, and now there’s a contract out on him.

If you get those puns, you are truly a bridge player.

A Bridge Too Far?

Rat is NO Diamond in the rough, and he has no Heart! He might end up getting Clubbed, and then Spade if he isn’t careful! (If Toon-Boy can make bad puns, then so can I!)

Maybe some crosswords will help calm them down?

Fargo for the pun. This gets the Stamp of Approval.

Let’s see, how’d that saying go again?

There may be snow on the rooftop but there is fire in the… um…

it was furnace, wasn’t it?

Rat’s CV must be at least 20 pages by now.

Long time ago, I tried to learn bridge. Like the three other players, I was dealt 13 cards. Don’t remember the other 8, but I do remember the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten of Diamonds. The ONE time in my life I had a Royal Flush, & it had to be in a BRIDGE hand!

Rat has a new book coming out, Title, “If it’s wrong then it must be Right”.As Forrest Gump would say, “I like it a lot Jennnnnnnnny”.

I would bid 3 No-Trump but people would accuse me of getting political.

MORE CROCS STEPHAN!

“our front porch” ?? somehow i missed goat rat and pig all live together.

Just opened the morning paper. First thing I read was the bridge column. It was a good one today. Declarer landed a Seven-spade grand slam with an aceless hand. Then I read today’s strip.

I was wondering the same thing. Who still reads newspapers? lol it’s 2017. how long do they live?

I believe my Mom still reads the Bridge column,or is it Dear Abby?

I believe my Mom still reads the Bridge column,or is it Dear Abby?

What next, will Rat remove the comics section from the newspapers? Oh, the horror..!! 8O

AARP, fool…WHAT?!?! Represent!!!

Just as long at Rat doesn’t get rid of the funnies…

xxx

Has there even been a bridge column since Omar Sharif died?

And, except for Little Old Ladies with Molotov cocktails, does anyone care?

(Sorry about the fire at your house, Rat and Pig!)

Mrs. London’s coming round, she’s coming with her son.

For the record, Rat makes a (small) appearance in today’s Fort Knox strip.
