Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 07, 2014

Oh did I miss the part where Delilah did her dance?

Legal battles can be such a pain in the neck.

Pastis: “Hey, Rat, I have a new joke! Can you change your name to Alfredo Garcia? Or I can make you a horse-doctor – how’s your bedside manner?”

Wow, he got to do the decapitation, no having to wait for the treasury to see it this time.

Rat’s a Talking Head?I like these Talking Heads better.

Also thought to be named Herodias like her mother.

Well, Rat can now truly quit while he’s a head…. it doesn’t happen often

The Czar of Garfield has served notice to Cartoon-Boy! “Notice” is the head of Rat on a platter; Rat is Cartoon-Boy’s acknowledged alter ego. Can we consider the message received and point taken? When a capo di tutti capi of comics sends his enforcers around with the head of of one of your lead characters, you should probably kiss his hand….

I guess this means the baby shower is cancelled.

@Puddlesplatt McLearn—and later she had them for Tom Jones!

pretty weird Caesarean -

thanks Jim Davis. you did us all a BIG favor

but, jim gave us 2 garfield movies.

Gettin’ dark around here, Patis…………….

I’d have gone with scared instead of mad.

Now it’s just getting too stupid.

I’d go for Option 2, Goat.

Rat got what he deserved at last.

Holy Moses!

This is getting weird. Can’t believe I waited until now to say that.

I never understood why “Garfield” is so popular. It’s never been very imaginative, with so-so art and slightly less than so-so writing. I think it was Bill Watterson who called it a “paint by numbers” comic.

Well, it appears that Rat doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Cool. I want a Rat’s-head-on-a-platter!

C’mon Rat … you’ve had worse!

@MstreselenaPeople in the modern world can get sick and DIE because they believe they are cursed. If Samson believed God would take away his strength if his hair was cut, then he would lose his strength when Delilah cut his hair.

Now can we get back to the crocs?

Rat, don’t get a head of yourself.(That was bad, I know…)

I wonder. Did John the Baptist’s head come with fries?

The new and improved rat!

Thank the man Goat! Thank the man!

Jim Davis sends his regards!

Jim Davis sends his regards!

Jim Davis sends his regards!

I knew cockroaches could live for hours after their heads were cut off, but I didn’t know that about rats.

I didn’t know that he was actually going to decapitate me 0_0
