Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 05, 2013

Four little lemmings stood above the sea;One was busy texting, then there were three.

Well of course he did.

Then why do the “Pearls” lemmings keep on returning to their leap?

Loved those old Disney documentary’s.

Curse you, popular technology! (And he didn’t even bequeath it to one of the other four!)

disney…for every iron man 3, they have lone ranger and john carter. $225 million for that 2.5 hour bomb. maybe disney should just stick with animated movies and cartoons. no more live action movies and shows. it ruins their bottom line and really screws up the child actors.

We have met the lemmings and they are us…

This shows that Pastis is reading the GoComics comments.So then why is he still torturing us with the lame puns?

The lemming myth, brought to us by the same people who taught us that we can’t refrigerate bananas……….scoundrels, one and all.

Two little lemmings, joke is almost doneOne pushed the other off and stood there alone.

’Bout time you got that!

That sneaky little lemming thought he won the day…“I’m the Lemming King now… no one in my way.”

Alas,without a female, he was lonely as can be…So the last little lemming jumped into the sea….

Bilan…. Hush yoo mouf!

Lame puns…. pfff.

Disney et. al. also “taught” us that bears are loveable, playful, and gentle creatures like Yogi Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Gentle Ben, etc. .People lost their fear of these wild animals, sometimes to their own peril, based on Hollywood portrayals. I recall a news item from many years ago where a mother in Yellowstone Park poured honey on her baby’s hands to take a cutsey picture of the bear they’d come across — licking the honey off them. She was mortified when the bear bit the childs arms off and ate them. .Ron White said it best… “You can’t fix stupid!”

Well Disney is evil so what do you expect?

Great ending!

Same horrible people that teach children to brush their teeth sideways.

Doesn’t matter if it is true or not it is funny and a cartoon strip. I’m pretty sure Rats and Pigs don’t rent homes either.

so sad, Rocks do hurt.

Ahh, the first lemmings strip where there aren’t people complaining that lemmings don’t commit mass suicide.

They should jump anyway….annoying little buggers.

People should read the Wikipedia article on that MOCKumentary!

O_O so lemmings jumping to there death is just a myth?!?then albert, my pet lemming died for no reason!!! NUUU!!!!:P

Walt lied??!!http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.asp

I dislike it when partisans equivocate people with differing viewpoints as lemmings. They should be more akin to sheep or cattle.

I always knew headphones were evil…

“Lemmings rushing towards the cliff,sooner or later to be stiff.Suddenly one stops to get a sniff,jam up behind on the way to the cliff.”Traffic at nine.Brought to you by Lemming GPS.Avoid the linesWould be so devineLemming GPS.The company that cares.

When life gives you lemmings, make lemming-ade…

By the way, Yogi Bear was Hanna-Barbeara.

I remember one time, I was riding a fire truck, responding to a call, and we came up behind a girl walking down the middle of the street with her earphones in. Siren wailing, lights flashing, airhorn blaring, and she didn’t notice us until we were right behind her. You should have seen her jump.

Love it!

Actually, refrigeration causes the peel to turn black, but the banana inside will remain perfectly fine, and will not become overly ripe and go bad.

still with the lemmings?

Also, beagles are never black and white, and only rarely pilot combat aircraft……….

iPods kill! BAN THEM!

He came from Alabama with an iPhone on his knees, he was texting while driving and now he rests in peace.

I think that Stephan just uses the Lemmings strips for when he can’t think of any more bad puns. Which is odd cause he can always think of more the next day.
