Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 01, 2021

Each one of you gets one lick of the frosting.

Betray him for a cinnabon? Nope. Now, a scratch cinnamon bun from one of the local churches fun raisers. I’m thinking about that one.

And when the Cinnabon is gone, just show them something shiny.

I am sure I am not the only one who enjoys this arc bringing together the croc side and the rat side of this strip.

A cinnamon bun with icing drizzled like zebra stripes, and extra large coffee.

Like feeding 5,000 people with two fish and five loaves, I’m sure there’ll be a miraculous way to feed many crocodiles one Cinnabon.

If you unwind it, it will be easier to split.

A Coup can happen just that fast. Ya better watch Yo-Self.

They are bribed with little.

Looking at many past elections, “you’re a bit of a loon” appears to be a pre-requisite to even running, let alone winning

Wonder if they are all related to Larry Croc ?

So, this is the ominous week of strips they pulled in January because of the Jan 6 event… Doesn’t seem so bad. I think they could have run them in January as intended, just fine.

I’m just intrigued if Zeeba was president, would these elite crocodile guards protects him or eats him?

Hm..all of the president’s guards are crocs? This explains so much…

Cut into 7 equal pieces is a difficult one. But it is unusual for Duck to not use firepower or excessive blasting force. This is a way brainier method – I expect Goat as the mastermind.

Golly, all of the trolls who attempted to co-opt the strip and made sure that everyone knew they were sure it was about Biden have… disappeared. Maybe the mother ship came back to pick up all those stupid mothers. Gosh…

I think I might have spelled “mothers” wrong in their case though.

Recommend book “Guards! Guards!” By Terry Pratchett It’s an eye opener for anyone who has survived *45 Of course, the entire Pratchett “Discworld” series is a treat

OK, who wants to kick in for a case of Cinnabons?

Zeeba flavored icing?

Reminds me of the meme: “I would sell your soul for one corn chip!” Only with gators instead of a raven.

Oh Sir, Doesn’t take much!!!

This is so damn great

Ratpocolypse now.

In his case, I thought it might be ice cream.

Crocs clean up surprisingly well

Yes! Guard Duck, the Crocs, now we only need Snuffles!

I think just giving them the cool shades would’ve been bribe enough.

It’s usually idiots who couldn’t even get thru Algebra who want to tell schools what to do (that and religious fanatics and anti-tax fans)

Guard Duck spared no expense in the bribe. :-D

Sounds like someone is ready to get rid of Biden. Of course, we’d then have laughing Harris as Pres. That’s a troubling idea also.

Thought Rat would be smarter than to rely on the crocs……

Hey cinnabons are not cheap

Biden could be betrayed for a tic-tac…..

’Lil Guard Duck is closer to being a loon than Rat. Rat is, well, a rat.

We could use a military coup against Sleepy Joe right about now.

Personally, I prefer homemade cinnamon rolls. Not that already made stuff.

Is this what really happened to the Former Guy?

This could have been an ironic cartoon about Haitian politics.

Begone RAT! You’re done, caput, fini!

Rat hired the Crocs as the guards? GD is right, he is a loon.

I get the center (of the Cinnabon)!

If only it were that simple…..

a LARGE fresh Cinnabon fresh out of the oven, with light frosting would do it for me

If only we could do the same thing to our current president.

When I started my first REAL job ( paper route doesn’t count & signed up for SS ) I was a porter at Mr. Donut . When we were short of help , I got to run the fryer – we had cinnamon coffee rolls – Awfully close to heaven when they were warm from the fryer & dipped in glaze . I remember the place w/ standing room only all morning when I was running the fryer !

Crocs in suits and sunglasses. Clearly Rat’s bodyguards are members of the Secret Serpents.

Most of the members of congress.

Oh, if only…

Not near as good as my Cinnamon’s buns…..opps,, my bad, sorry

Seven Days in September.

Larry sighting?

I would betray Biden for a waffle.

Sounds good to me, and don’t forget to turn out the lights when you leave.

Betray your country…as has been done recently.

See, that’s the kind of thing that goes on since they moved the Secret Service from Treasury to the newly-spawned DHS in 2001; repeal the un-American (and thoroughly unconstitutional) so-called “Patriot” Act, and all subsets thereof, & bring back the professionalism!

Rat is sporting a long red tie. Where is his fashion sense?

Something about cheap, good, and fast in hiring bodyguards.

Guard Duck vs the crocs of Zeeba Zeeba Eata frat, Guard Duck always wins. Rat should have hired Mr. Snuffles. Guard Duck and Snuffles do tend to be partners so that might have caused a problem for Guard Duck. Or the coup would have been cheaper.

Guard Duck & Crocs in the same cartoon…..who could ask for anything more?

Should have been a fruitcake instead.

Guess Rat was a sucker for a Sharp-Dressed Croc!

Li’l Guard Duck’s coup d’état seems about to succeed!

Just use ice cream and ask him to leave.

Didn’t take much…

hmmmm… Worth it

Guard duck? Croks? What a funny comic.

a smoking duck

Very carefully.

Give me Spicy sushi, ramen and some Udon and I’ll think about it..
