Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 26, 2014

At least Timmy’s safe for now.

How do fish taste with A-1 sauce?

That’s the problem with Aaron Spelling.

So, when a big fish comes to eat his fill of these little fish, Aaron will be fish fill A.

Yeah like the predator is gonna aim alphabetically, hopefully the fish who made the suggestion gets eaten first.

Aaron A. Aaronson would also like to respectfully disagree with the plan.

Double A’s. He doesn’t wanna die first.

What a naive school of prey small-fry fishies! They think a bigger predator will actually bother to take roll-call before gobbling them up?!

I didn’t know lemmings could swim!

to the last!

Hey Asics! After seeing your ad slide in from the left the last 500 times and not clicking on it, it’s safe to say I’m not interested. Enough!

Meanwhile, 3 fish disappear.

This strip seems to be a tribute to film director Darren Aronofsky. Or just a wild coincidence.

Aaron Aaronofski, late of Fishkill, N.Y.Should have changed his name to Andrei Zyuzin.

Yeah, Aaron, live with it. With love, Zlatan Zistler.

Thanks! : )

When my son started kindergarten, nine of the 24 kids had first names which started with “A”. Seems that the parents had learned that that would put the kids at the front of the line throughout elementary school, and the teachers were too lazy to come up with another system to give the “alphabetically deprived” kids a chance.

In middle and high school and on through the rest of life, the kids with “A” surnames get advantages that people with names like “Pastis” or “Rat” or “Pig” don’t get.

So in this strip, as an “alphabetically deprived” person myself, I’m happy to see “Aaron Aaronofsky” getting what he deserves.

This strip is a result of the fact that Patsis thinks he can’t draw and fish are easy, right?

IF fish COULD talk – would they still stay in school or would they demonstrate for democratic leadership according to Robert’s rules of order? AND would Pastis still find this strip amusing? Big questions for little fish.

Is “Aaronofski” even an actual last name?

A-1 is for beef and pork; but good meet doesn’t need any crappy flavoring.Maybe not, but a good sauce can make a great steak taste even better.:)BTW, it’s “meat”, not “meet”.
