Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 20, 2013

That’s the GOP solution!

There’s another flaw, Goat: what happens when Rat and Pig run out of buckets?

This kind of stupidity is beyond the pail. =rimshot=

Run and get a bucket of beer.

Plus, global climate change is happening too fast to be purely the sun or natural climate cycle’s fault.

Enough with the political comments! I just love the look of pure joy on Pig’s face in the last panel.

Ahh, the Pure Joy of bucket-hopping! Rather like vacation Island Hopping, with the added bonus that there’s beer at the end!

Could just put a dog house on a life raft and use that…

obsolutely!

The hockey stick has flat lined. The truth is out there.

Wonder how the anthropogenic climate change views are divided amongst those scientists whose funding does NOT depend on their embracing the creed…..

They must be careful not to kick the bucket.

Smart idea that trail of buckets. If they get lost going to the liquor store, they can find their way back by following the bucket trail.

I may be goin’ to hell in a bucket But at least I’m enjoyin’ the ride. “Hell in a Bucket”, Grateful Dead

And I’ll bet the liquor store has raised its shelves at least a foot.

Too many amateur experts chiming in here – time for this discussion to be scuttled.

Haaa. Scuttled. Because, with…

Why hasn’t anyone commented on the fact that Pig is flying/floating above the buckets which implies either a repeal of the laws of gravity or some sort of super power. Either way it negates the necessity for liquor store bucket trails.

Mars is experiencing global warming too! At any rate, when I was a boy, the weather ‘experts’ claimed we had a coming ice age & we were going to lose the top half of the country! So, at least we avoided that!

Liquor store? At least he has his priorities straight.

Pig making a beer run? I rarely see him drinking anything stronger than soda.

Will global warming freaks leave and let us enjoy the comics, geez…

Here’s the situation: Pollution causes many problems, one of which seems to be climate change. But there are many others. My take: Pollution is bad. Stop it. The GOP’s take: Global warming is a scam, so keep polluting.

If nothing else, you have all those buckets there for AFTER using the purchases from the liquor store.

Is there a sober driver in the house…we got keys a car and a ten

Climate change deniers are pretty much on a level with Holocaust deniers, birthers, and people who claim that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax. And many people are in all four groups.

Three reviews on Amazon, three stars. Total. One per review. I guess you can’t write a zero star review there.

Pastis, on the other hand, averages 4 1/2 stars – proving that real cartoonists are more valued than pseudo-scientists.

If everybody’s done with their tantrums, let’s have a little fun by seeing how you would finish this poem::There once was a rat from NantucketWho stood with his friend on a bucket…

Actually the fact that Nabu denies Global Warming is one of the strongest arguments for it!

Beware of those who would limit our freedom due to “fear of what might happen.”

Yep, Fantastic.

LOL xxx

Rich upper middle class boys have boats.

And on a lighter note……gee whiz, Rat- how do you expect the buckets not to float away?

rising temperatures can cause an increase in Co2 levels, not the other way around.

Idiots… those buckets would only work on a flat plain.

You all are giving me a headache. Have CO2 levels been higher in the past? Yes. Have temperature been higher in the past? Yes. Is the climate colder now that it has been in the past? Again, yes. A couple of fun factoids, however . 1) when there were no ice caps, Nebraska was underwater and 2) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/image/m/g/Extinction.jpgJust saying.

It would probably be a lot cheaper to use dirt instead…

LAST COMMENT OF THE DAY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! pearls before swine is my shiiiiz. okay i’m done now.

Wonder where they live that they’re compelled to buy beer at liquor stores, rather than convenience store, like everyone else.

Don’t look up!

Just don’t buy beach-front property.
