Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 09, 2014

Two wrongs are making a right cross!

Matter, meet antimatter. Actually, the two groups share rather much in common and are often likely to merge into one more or less unpleasant alliance.

Maybe they will meet Vinnie the Vegetarian and Troy the tricyclist and become allies against them.

I second the spandex line! On guys anyway.

Heaven help them both when they meet Roscoe the Redneck.

I swear I saw this play itself out in real life at a Portland, Oregon Starbucks just last week.

The subtext here is they also actively participate in Renaissance Fairs. "I condemn THEE?

At least Jef can outrun Victor if things gets bad.

Spandex is the last bastion of chivalry. When I was still mountain biking, I always allowed women to go up the hill before me.

This is how the end begins.

“My dog’s better than your dog. My dog’s better than yours. My dog’s better ‘cause he eats kennel ration. My dog’s better than yours.”

Hmmm….. we all know a “Jef” who is a cyclist.

But who is “Victor” ?

LOL

I am SO enjoying this (as I watch the Spandex peacocks in the passing parade)

I know who Jef is. Does anyone know if Victor is modeled after a real person?

Shhhh…don’t ever tell a greener or bicyclist they’re not superior. Without smugness, they’d have no personality at all.

“Scrawny vegan” is a dumb stereotype. There are vegan professional MMA fighters. Patrik Baboumian (vegan) won Germany’s Strongest Man competition.

Add Prius drivers. The most sanctimonious motorists ever.

BÜbermensch

So this is a comic strip judging vegans and cyclists because they’re too judgmental? Oh, the irony…

I had haggis once and it wasn’t bad but the imagery in this poem? Bleagghh!

Andy the Atheist will destroy them all with his intellectual superiority!

In this fight, I’ll bet on Jef.While Victor has an Asparagus Spear,Jef has a Bike Chain.

“I punch thee for wearing spandex.”First time I ever agreed with a vegan.

@Tom, maybe Darby Conley of Get Fuzzy? @Ro-Gan, make that three, don’t forget the white mice. But, I don’t think the dolphins knew about them. As for Victor Vegan, he’s better than Vegas Vic. At least Victor doesn’t smoke…… well, maybe just not tobacco……

So why the sudden influx of Mallet-bashing?

Go Jef!

I would like to by them for what they are worth… and sell them for what they THINK they’re worth

Only the vegan half.

Finally, a funny script. Thanks. It was a loooong time coming.

I hope Victor and Jef beat each other into oblivion. Normal people would then be better off….

That’s Future Jef on the left………………………

Maybe they’ll join forces and take on dog owners.

Vegan! Because being a vegetarian just isn’t enough!The battle of “Healthier then Thou”

What? You mean they might be compensating for something?

Or parents.

Happiness… is a warm gun (bam bam, shoot shoot)…

Vegans do not act like they are superior to everyone else. I know four vegans and none of them act like that. Also, do you ever see any TV ads for vegan-friendly products? No, but you see plenty of ads for meat. So who is acting superior to whom?

Vegans are humorless and would never read the comics

Vegans are supreme! EXTERMINATE!!

Viktor should condemn himself too.

I prefer the Cyclist.
