Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 22, 2012

Ooh shoot, the BEAR VS BUNNY.

It’s heck running in high heels.

Could be a scene from Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator.

I don’t know about you, Hops, but if a “predator” showed up at my door wearing high-heeled women’s boots, I’d call the police.

The low spark of high-heeled bears.

Well, I remember when the Crocs asked Zebra to please lie down on the grill.

It’s difficult for prey, having to be rude, when the predators are all just so darn polite.

I hope your turkey was more accommodating, or you caught a lovely tofu…. and that you have a lovely Thanksgiving….whether or not it’s a day you celebrate where you are.

He’s hunting wabbits! Be vewy, vewy quiet!

First the Crocs, then the Killer Whale, then the male Lions, now Bennie the Black Bear. Incompetent predators are interesting (though the male Lions weren’t really all that incompetent as they let the females do the hunting) though Bennie really needs to go the way of the Killer Whale.

Bennie’s failed attempts at predation have driven him (he couldn’t walk, you know) to desperate begging! Shocking! He may not have a happy Thanksgiving, all because of his pink boots fetish!

Bears eat bunny rabbits???

No, no, no….the last frame is supposed to be Larry the croc…

What a dumb Benny.

A Monty Python Moment

For those who just checked in today, this will seem odder the it is. – Very funny

Here Pastis merges the two storylines, which is what he usually does with series.

Well, since the bear comes to this same diner, maybe he could just show up and eat Hops there. Or maybe animals just don’t do that at their watering hole.

Since I’m here anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Or if you’re reading this from outside of the US, best wishes!

Settle for tofurkey….after 10 or 12 beers (shared with Hops and Rat) you really won’t care..Happy Day to all Turkeys and all of the rest of us.

If the rabbit was in the hole right now… Would he be able to hear the stamp stamp stamp of the high heels?

LOL xxx

Happy, happy, happy Thanksgiving.

Bennie is not going to be a regular in the strip. “He is a fool who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more.”

Bennie should use beer for bait . . . ☻And you know how to catch a unique rabbit???

“My mother taught my wife to shoot both bear and rabbit. extra stew meat is always good.”

+++++

So you don’t mind hare in your stew??

At least Bennie is a well-heeled bear!

First I have to endure a transvestive cheerleader in the Macy’s Parade, and now another one in this strip … UGH !!!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody

“what kind of predator leaves a note like that?” the crocs do
