Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 19, 2013

Transcript:
Penguin 1: Honey, I've carved a hole in the ice so you can fish without having to jump in the water and confront that polar bear. Penguin 2: I sense a flaw in your plan.
THEREāS something you donāt see every day in comics ā the airhead female pays for her own stupidity instead of her long ā suffering male.Well played, Pastis! If I wore a hat Iād tip it to you!
Sometimes the Fates are kind and things work out as we feel they should! Bear is fed, Honey is free! Allās right with the world, and we can move on to some other arc!
If the female penguin is an maths genius and didnāt dug the holeās size bigger than the polar bearās head, her plan would be an brilliant one. In fact even human use the same method for fishing in antarctic ocean expect they know how to use a gun if an polar bear really attack like what is shown in this comic strip!
Nor do they talk in real life. But since it is a cartoon, who really cares if they interact? It just isnāt important to be that picky about a comic strop for crying out loud.
All the people who canāt handle penguins and polar bears in the same hemisphere: One of you, when this arc began, suggested this is an exhibit at the zoo! Iād say, take the zoo and run with it!.Of course, lacking a Judge Doom, Iām pretty sure the toon will be back tomorrowā¦
at the first of this strip I didnāt even realize the whole penguine polor bear thing (which I did know) untill pastis hit rat for mentioning it (which i loved and want to see again)
Polar bears live at the north pole (arctic) and penguins live at the south pole (Antarctic), they never really interact. Go back to the crocs. Funnier.

Penguins rarely talk or use hand saws either. If you are going to be a stickler. Itās almost like itās a comic strip or something.
