Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 10, 2013
Transcript:
Rat: Hey, goat...do you like your orange juice with pulp or without pulp? Goat: Either, I guess. Rat: You don't have a preference? Goat: Well, I suppose if I had to choose, I'd say with. Rat: With? Goat: Yeah, why? Rat: No reason. I just think it's interesting that- KILL THE PULPIST!!! Goat: Must every issue in this country be divisive? Pig: SOCIALIST!

It’s amazing how small issues tend to divide people. I wonder how many arguments have ensued over the proper way to hang toilet paper.
margueritem over 11 years ago
I was wondering the same thing myself…

I rather not get pulp, the way things are it might be plastic.

Pulp Friction?

It’s a good thing Goat wasn’t talking about communing with nature.

Toilet paper? There’s a tissue here.

Does anyone here know about Netherlands history? It seems that there were two parties (I can’t remember the details right now): The Hoeks and the other party – one party believed the fish caught the hook and the other party…Oh hell, I can’t remember the details, but the Dutch were divided for many decades over this issue.

Sigh. Once again, the anti-pulpists show their violent intolerance of those with different interpretations of fruit juice.
Brass Orchid Premium Member over 11 years ago
The fact is that I am always right and that anybody who does not agree and obey without question is a divisive warmonger.
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Uh-oh.I think that, first, I’d better arm myself heavily. Second, I should build a strong defensive perimeter.Why?I prefer my orange juice with lots of pulp, and I always hang my toilet paper to feed from under.I am the Hated Minority.
Hillbillyman over 11 years ago
Hey Rat! I lke my OJ with pulp and you can kiss my pa’toot!!!
unnormal over 11 years ago
AH!Yes! I think you’ve GOT it!
Hugh B. Hayve over 11 years ago
Today’s strip reminds me of an old Emo Philips joke, I wonder if Steph heard it before drawing today’s strip.
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
Good one, Sherlock!
Which reminds me…. thanks for getting the “honey do” one a couple of nights ago…. LOL
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
And THAT reminds me…when I asked that day whether anyone remembered seeing that melon collie before….I didn’t mean the old joke or a use of the phrase elsewhere…
I meant I thought Pastis had drawn that very same dog in an earlier strip….Or maybe it wasn’t a melon collie, but some other pun.Anybody?
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
As for today’s strip….Some people can squeeze a fight out of anything.
knight1192a over 11 years ago
Careful Pig, careful. Rat’s more a socalist than Goat. Guad Duck and Snuffles are just into maiming folks.
uncorked over 11 years ago
So that’s Rat’s problem… Lack of fiber….
Vonne Anton over 11 years ago
I disagree with all of you, which says more about you than me.

Re: over or under. I once worked in a place that had two tp holders. I realized that whether the tp should be over or under depended on how far it was from you.

I got too much oj back during the trial………..

When did this strip turn to political satire?
tahoeh2o over 11 years ago
There are two types of people, those that divide people into groups and those that don’t…

Looks like they beat the pulp out of goat.

Yes indeed. Like someone in high office who gets that from his opposition.

I just sit it upright on the floor, ends that problem

And while people are fighting over meaningless crap things that should be fought over get totally looked over.
vwdualnomand over 11 years ago
the recent news of the catholic church, justified in putting many of them in jail and taking their assets. the abuse that the clergy did to kids, the cover up of the abuse, and blaming the victims. not to mention, telling the continent of africa ravaged by aids to not use contraception. no wonder, some people think they should be tried on grounds of crimes against humanity.

Yankees vs. Red Sox?Lakers vs. Celtics?Soda or Pop?
pekenpug over 11 years ago
Every issue, however inconsequential, is divisive, and anyone who says it doesn’t have to be that way is a “socialist”
Masterskrain, you hit the nail on the head…but you shouldn’t use nails, you should use tacks because they’re more cost effective, and anyone who uses nails is irrevocably wrong-headed and bent on destruction of etc etc etc…..

The Founding Fathers were very clear on what their intentions were, regarding anti-pulpism in juice and the roll of toilet paper.

@Bruno ZeigertsThey had cut off Jenkin’s ear years earlier, so they were just looking for an excuse to go to war.

I prefer O.J. in prison. Oh, that’s right, he didn’t do it.-—-: D For shame! You nearly made my O.J. spurt out my nose!
jcomics52 over 11 years ago
I am a true pulpist
Tetonbil Premium Member over 11 years ago
Divide and conquer ! The career politician is hopeful that we will continue to fight each other over every issue so we will not pay attention to what shenanigans they are about.

I guess you can never be too careful these days!
Number Three over 11 years ago
Careful with decision making, Goat.
Your choice would of course be the wrong one…. According to Rat.

Pulp it up!
Sherlock Watson over 11 years ago
Why is Pig calling Goat a Socialist?Because Goat expressed a concern about society; if he’d mentioned communication, Pig would have yelled “Communist!”
Buggerlugs over 11 years ago
How can such a trivial issue warrant 85 comments when the day is just at the halfway point?
androgenoide over 11 years ago
Careful… you’re talking about actual socialism here and he was using the word as a synonym for communism. This could become very confusing.
zianrocks2468 over 11 years ago
I better watch out, before Rat and his crew come to attack me. Who agrees?
felinefan55 Premium Member over 11 years ago
Anyone remember Dr. Suese’s “the Butter Battle Book”? I find many peopple should have ben exposed to it, and then perhaps we’d have less fights over trivial items.
HankTheSock over 11 years ago
I’m with Rat here, I can’t stand Orange Juice with pulp in it.
jhandini over 11 years ago
Pastis. If you don’t get an Eisner this year, the game is rigged.
Woody157 over 11 years ago
And @templo SUD: I also prefer O.J. In prison. His lawyer coined a catch phrase, “If it don’t fit, you must acquit!”. If you have ever tried on a pair of Isotoners leather gloves you know that they fit very snug. Now, soak them in blood. Let them dry over a several week time. They will shrink. Then try to put them on while wearing a rubber glove first. .NO WAY WILL THEY FIT!.Karma is known to turn around and bite you in the bum. O.J. is in prison but it is too bad O.J. can’t be serving AS PULP.

“Must every issue in this country be divisive?”No, but it certainly works out that way.

Orange juice must NEVER have pulp.
One Navy Seal about 4 years ago
Having pulp in your juice is like having pig skin in your ham.
