Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 25, 2014

Transcript:
Rat: So if we're gonna manufacture [blank] we're gonna need a shady lawyer like Saul Goodman to protect us. Pig: What actual lawyer do we know who's that unethical and slimy? He might be too slimy. Breaking Rat
Hey Stephan, letâs go get drunk on 6th Street together after your stop at Book People in Austin. Lol. Oh wait, you have to catch a flight to Wichita the next day. Plus, your old lady probably wouldnât be too happy with you if you went out and partied with a few of your fans. LOLâŠ
Read yesterdayâs comments, and I canât believe anyone would be unfamiliar with Breaking Bad. Even my brother, who basically only watched American Idol, has decided to try it out on Netflix!Thatâs something that would make Walt say, âI won.â
Aha! It appears Cartoon-Boy is reverting to type. Once slime, always slime, I guessâŠ. But I wouldnât hire him, Rat. Not only is Pig right, but in addition he has a conflict of interest as well, being your creator and out for a laugh at any costâŠ.
To be fair, Pastis didnât decide that cartooning âpaid betterâ than lawyering (that would be insane). He just decided to follow a dream, and it worked out well for him. Mainly because heâs a super talented cartoonist.
âMethamphetaminesâ is a censored word? And thatâs too long to fit in his black box. âBlue rockâ? âGlassâ? âCrankâ? âIceâ? âCrystal methâ? Aha. I bet thatâs it. Crystal meth. Got it.
Once a little girl and her mother went past a gravestone that said, âHere lies a lawyer and a good man.â The girl saw the gravestone then turned to her mother. âŠâMommy? Why did they bury two people here?ââŠYeah, too easy, but the Dr Rat story was just begging for this punchline sooner or later (we figured SOMEONE would sue Rat for malpractice before this arc ended).

But it WOULD be fun.

If Pastis teamed with Rat, they could do âFlywheel, Shyster & Flywheelâ after this.

Rat should never hire a lawyer who would have him as a client.

I didnât know that Cartoon Boy was a lawyer. This explains why his wife left .

You could always hire famed âpig lawyerâ Oliver Douglas. He has experience with other animals, too (eg, getting a cow out of the draft).

He said that killing all the lawyers would lead to anarchy, which was the first step in overthrowing the government.
Carl Pini Premium Member almost 11 years ago
Steve Dallas may still be around.
foxsinger Premium Member almost 11 years ago
manufacture what? My word is blacked out. Do I just not get it or is it censored?
Sailor46 USN 65-95 almost 11 years ago
I question if Pastis can plan that out. Reading this comic makes me think that he makes a lot up as he goes. Thus his greatness!

That pink shirt, tie and cheesy grin was a mistake.
