Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 13, 2014

Well, it’s basic and honest.

Works for me, as long as it doesn’t bring in a bunch of Martian tourists driving prices up.

“We have women!”

I like Beer , sounds good to me.

“Don’t do stupid….stuff”

Tom T. Hall approves.

Whoo hoo!!!!

Pressure! Deadlines! Unsolicited advice! Voices in your head! Just another manic Monday, Cartoon-Boy….

…and pizza. Don’t forget pizza. Oh, and football. Beer, pizza and football. OK, done, now send it. Oh wait, ice cream …

Give me a message, for $10.00 I will beam it to Mars using a flashlight and a basic understanding of Morse code . . . – — – . . .

{Message returned} Ack ack ack, Ack ack ack?

“I like beer” it’s zen-like in its simplicity

Women are from Venus, men are from Mars, today’s kartune is from hunger…or maybe thirst!

Even if they didn’t rush him, Toon Boy probably would have came up with the same message.

Here is the link>

Can we send them Honey Boo-Boo ?

@drjinxI heard a rumor how that girl got that name. Her father said to her mother ‘Who is that?’ and the mother responded ‘Honey, thats a Boo-Boo.’

In that case, bring a case of 24.

An anecdote considering the strip for today: I live near Cape Canaveral and hang out at a bar a lot of the team preparing the Curiosity rover for launch to Mars would visit after a hard day of rocket scientisting. We locals starting referring to the Curiosity crew as “the Martians.” So I can confirm that Martians drink a lot of beer.

The message should have been “BEER, WOMEN, FOOTBALL!!!!!” How bout them Cowboys…take that Seattle Birdies!!!!!!"(That’s okay, I am still waiting for the fall….they always fall….just like Rangers baseball.)

Just don’t send them Billy Beer or Narragansett.

Housman said the same thing much more elegantly: “Malt does more than Milton can/To justify God’s ways to man”.Of course, he was thinking of real beer, brewed instead of obtained by administering HCT to a diabetic horse.

Well, there are Mars Bars, so it might work out.

@Arianne@Puddlesplatt McLearnWould it cause a war if we told them we like to yodel?

Hey Mr. P, you forgot " I’m Homer Simpson, and I approved this message"

Reminds me of this Dutch beer commercial:

Note: The sign says “Biertje” which is Dutch for “Want a beer?”

Made me stop reading the comics long enough to get a cold one. Power of suggestion?

Shot and simple. War and Peace wouldn’t do.

Let’s send them a message that sums up all our wisdom and sophistication::“Beans, beans, the musical fruit,The more you eat, the more you toot.”

Well, according to SNL, the aliens sent us the following 4 word message after intercepting one of our Voyager space probes that contained everything pertinent about us from literature to music to philosophy … “Send More Chuck Berry!”

What’s the big deal getting a message to Mars? The dialing code is +33 and you can call call there any time. They have internet access like anywhere so some there will have read Steph’s message already.

I happen to know that Marvin the Martian loves beer.

Prepare to be violently invaded, earth…

[HIC!]

“I don’t half a drunking problem!”

Wait, why would you need to draw panels if you’re just writing a message?

So if he’d stayed in law he’s qualified as a supreme court judge
