Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 30, 2014

I keep wondering how he’ll end this.

Will this li’l storyline end by the end of the week? I sure hope so.

Fairy hormones.

maybe is Zebra? lot of pregnant people change from love to hate toward their loved ones easily

Zebra’s first appearance in a very long time.

Sing along with Sherlock: “Feelings… nothing more than feelings…”

How do we know that’s a mood swing and not Rat being Rat? I mean that would be like him to act caring just so he could beat someone up.

Sherlock, I ain’t singing along. Bad song.

Mr. P now dealing with fatherhood?

Something rotten in Denmark…..

Holy cow, I’m just falling WAY behind on these, haven’t been online for the strips since our newspaper stopped putting Pearls in the comics section. :(

in a rit of fealous jage.

Guess Stephan’s either on vacation, out of ideas, or out of his head.

Pearls used to be funny.

You think Stephan is trying to tell us that Staci is pregnant and going through the mood swings attributed to Rat?

I think he is just being irRATional.

So what’s going to happen with all the little rat-lets? New characters? Ignored? They get little cars and airplanes like the mice on Overboard? Or it was simply a bad dream like on Dallas? I don’t think I can stand the excitement.

Will Rat end up in a home for unwed fathers?

It is the 1978 film, “Rabbit Test” but in this case it is RAT test.

Gimme dat daisy!

I found some new, really pretty flowers next to the oleanders a few weeks ago. Knowing nothing about plants, I sent pics to my sister. Turns out, they were part of the nightshade family. VERY invasive and poisonous. Out they came. Bummer.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long three weeks…

Not my favorite story line of all time; in fact, in the bottom 5%. But I like this comic enough that I will keep reading it daily, waiting for it to return to the hilarious comic it is.

I fear the spawn of Rat!

The Cosby Show also had an episode where all the men became pregnant, due to something in the water in New York. Then it turned out to be a dream.

It may not be the best arc, but at least “Cartoon-Boy” manages to do his job and put out a fresh comic every day.Yes Darby, I am definitely looking at you.

I still swear that rat was a male figure. Now he is such a biache

Given it’s Rat, I expect him to “have a cow.”

Where the #&%@ is this going?

Googled this about rats: “The gestation period is normally 22 days, but can vary from 21 to 23” so we may have three weeks of this arc. So sit back and enjoy or go read something else.

Rats not prego, it’s just the beer bloat finally getting to him. Wait till he belches…WOW

I’m calling it, he drank so much he’s gonna have to belch it all out. In the meantime, he’ll be collecting for a baby shower. :D

If it werent for the preggos we wouldn’t have to worry about alot of things…..like LIFE!! Stop complaining.

If Rat picked up a Daisy, it would be by the tail, from over at the Dagwood Bumstead place………….

I’m just wondering if Pig is the baby daddy.It might explain why he backs out of frame so quickly.

Rat would have to get Guard Duck extremely drunk for that.

How true.

Pregnant women are not like that.

That transformation seems to have lasted several minutes … as expected.
