Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 16, 2014

I smell smoke in the auditorium…

“Dang it, Jim! I’m an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I’m not that kind of doctor. I have a doctorate, it’s not the same thing. You can’t help people with a doctorate. You just sit there and you’re useless!” ~Delbert Dopplet of Disney film /Treasure Planet/

For heaven’s sake, Cartoon-Boy! Call the paramedics for Goat; he looks awful! Nice try with the Charlie Brown sketch, though. It’s very nice, and it does fit the sketchy [pun] description given by battered Goat….

I just read that Steph will be making an appearance in Coral Gables to publicize his children’s book (yes, he has a children’s book). I live at the north end of Miami and don’t drive, but if I could meet him I would ask him: “Mr. Pastis, are you having marital problems in real life?”

watch out Stephan….sounds like profiling to me!

I liked the SNL skit where the Enterprise was turned into a restaurant, and a customer was choking. Kirk says to Bones “Bones this man is choking.” and Bones replies “Damit Jim I’m a doctor not a… Oh right…” and then proceeds to preform the Heimlich maneuver.

Read panel #4, and knew goat was boned!

I think ’ol Charlie finally snapped from losing all those kites to kite-eating trees. You had to know that was coming.

Jeffy. He’s always been the bad seed.

Thanks, Stephan, always appreciate a tip of the hat to Sparky :-)

Knew what you’re talking about with the first quote.

Good ole Charlie Brown is just supplementing his income. Leave him along. It would of been funnier if Rat was the one who got mugged.

That’s what I thought at first, too.

The “401” in Los Angeles? I know the 405 is pretty bad, I’ve never been on the 401.

He’s dead, Stephan.

keep the strips coming – cause the comments are awesome even if the strip is pundacious, irreverent, silly, and true

Reminds me of the famous quote “I’m a doctor, not a magician”

VERY NICE, cat-person. Zeus, those were—still are—great songs. Hoover (my cat) approves.

Dr McCoy is rolling over in his grave.

Good grief.
