Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2014

They may be free range chickens now, but soon they’re going to be jailbirds.

Free range chickens are indeed like that. You can’t keep a good chicken down.

must be legal in their state

Didn’t Rat once promise “pot in every chicken”?

MMMM… Baked chicken… to go.Sounds like a franchise.

They’re not really chicken, are they?

it’s chicken…with a strange aftertaste!

Taking a trip and not leaving the farm was not enough?

Chicken pot pie. My three favorite things.

both Pig and Bob are dopes, letting those chickens go across the grass and take the garage as their joint, Bob is not a bud of the chickens if he does not weed them out of the garage, someone should bong some sense on Bob before the chicken break pots inside the garage or we will hear the high sounds of the police sirens, sorry for being so blunt

If the chickens want to be smoked, that can be arranged.

I suspect fowl play.

When did Pig get a car?

Roosters are chickens. And since they are free range, they like to take a little trip.

Gee, Pig you can’t talk about Mary Jane on the comics page? Why, when I was a kid, the stories of Mary Jane and Sniffles were among my favorites (I think they appeared in Donald Duck comic books. Mary Jane would sprinkle some magic sand in her hair—yuck!—and utter the magic words, “Magic words of piff piff piffles, make me just as small as Sniffles”; and she and her mouse-buddy would have an adventure)!

The doper chickens? Probably got run over trying to cross the road….

Umm, Bob, your chickens are going to be dinner a little sooner than expected if they don’t get out of my car…

Near the end of the Cows With Guns song, “But on the horizon, Surrounding the shoppers, Came the deafening roar, …of chickens…, …in choppers.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMbXvn2RNI

Read Tim Dorsey’s Serge A. Storms novel “Triggerfish Twist” if you want to know how to turn a chicken into a hookah.

did you hear about the drug dealer that like to go to the ocean and feed pot to the birds? Yep, he left no tern unstoned!

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?A. For fowl purposes!

Q. Why did the Chicken of the Sea cross the road?A. For foul porpoises!

When they’re smokin’, do they start hankering for a big bucket of fried chicken?

“You’d go to L.A. on a dare And you’d go it alone”

My neighbor has a “herd”?, “flock”? of chickens that wander all over the neighborhood – a rural area, but there are a few houses here. I have to look out all my windows and scout the yard before I let my dogs out or they’ll chase the chickens for a free lunch. There were a dozen out front yesterday morning and I had to chase them off. The rooster looked at me sideways – I hope they’re not planning to steal my truck!

so… “free range” means “i bear no responsibility”?

Yes that’s right, Pig. You don’t want to have “Comic Strip Censor” on your back!

I’m confused…
