Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 18, 2013

Since when is Pig the physically aggressive one?

“Everybody must get stoned.” (Bob Dylan)

Roooolll, another one…

You read of people being “pressed,” too. It is what it says. They put a heavy wooden plank over your body and pile huge stones on it until either a) you confessed or b) you were crushed to pudding. Being stretched on the rack, in official documents, was called “being put to the question.”

Agreeing with legaleagle48 – I do not recall seeing Pig as the aggressor. Ever.

send pig to jail for assault and dredge up that story line…..

Pig, guys, is just trying to protect the innocence of the “kids” (young goats) who are reading this! Spilled Coffee Trope aside, Goat probably had it coming. Pay no attention to Rat.

…They had to kill you. It was the only way they could save your soul. All in a good day’s work for (cue music) The Spanish Inquisition!

I was stoned, and it even didn’t hurt!

This strip is going to pot

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Kids read the comics??

Very subtle, Rat!

I am not a witch, they dressed me up like one….

LEGALIZE IT!!! =^..^=

People are still stoned these days. Maybe not for witchcraft, but when I recently heard about a stoning of a woman, I realized what monsters all people are. No exceptions.

And it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like Jelly RollAnd it stoned meVan Morrison

Did they use Columbian rocks or Mexican rocks?

Vlad the Impaler takes top honors in my book. Took me weeks to get his deeds out of my head. Now they’re back. ooohh….

Remember, Jacob was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey. He was not ‘stoned off his ass’.

Pig is passionate about the readers. Especially young ones. That’s why he got so upset I think.

Wake and Bake what better way to start the day. :)

“A day without a buzz is a day that never wuz”.Buzzard Bay Bar

Rat must be having a day off being violent.Pig looks funny like that.LOL xxx

Apostrophe alert: 1600s v. 1600’s

Got stoned and missed it

Unfortunately, the world is full of people like Pig and most of them are allowed to wander around without a leash.

Especially those ‘rainy day witches’!

Breaking the fourth wall again. Hilarious.

Poor logic. Elementary statistics: A correlation does not prove a causation. You’ve ignored the effects of the crack epidemic. Also crime rates across the US have been falling over the past few years. And what caused the decrease in 1999? You’re also cherry picking data, selecting one state that supposedly proves your argument and ignoring data from other states. All in all, an argument that even a highschool student would be ashamed to present.
