Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 24, 2014

Transcript:
Elf 1: Greetings! We're Santa's Little Elves! Can we come inside and give you this year's gifts?
Pig: Santa's Elves? Of course!
Head: WHAM WHAM WHAM
Pig: I guess someone wasn't very good this year.
I can’t explain it, but I have always gotten a kick out of the clenched teeth angry faces that Pastis draws onto his characters. Also the cartoonish both-feet-off-the-ground pose as they administer beatings with a baseball bat. IDK, maybe it’s just my fondness for the classics.

Wait until you see what they left in his stocking.
electricshadow Premium Member about 10 years ago
Yeah, if they traded lumps of coal for lumps on Rat’s head, you can only guess what they put in the stocking.

I asked santa to clear our house of it’s rat infestation. Well done, santa!
Charlie Fogwhistle about 10 years ago
I mean Santa makes the list, he checks it twice, determines who’s naughty and who’s nice, then what’s he supposed to do? Not send out the Hit-Elfs?
Plumbob Wilson about 10 years ago
When elves are outlawed, only outlaws will have elves.

Still looks like your not getting a CBS Christmas special
Emmett Wayne about 10 years ago
Santa claimed ‘elf defense’!
e.groves about 10 years ago
I think the North Koreans might be attacking my computer. All the strips are loading slow, and PBS didn’t load at all. But the comments did.

Am I the only one who thinks Santa’s elves look like leprechauns?
ziggman14304 about 10 years ago
“Did we say Elves? We meant Enforcers.”
garcoa about 10 years ago
Kids, that is how it really works if you are on Santa’s naughty list.
Sisyphos about 10 years ago
YAY! Rat gets what he deserves from the elf squad! It’s the Chicago way….

Karma’s a bitch, huh, Rat?
Mike Parsons Premium Member about 10 years ago
Rat, meet Santa’s bat.
Stream of conscience about 10 years ago
Ahhh! That felt good.
sdjamieson Premium Member about 10 years ago
I love it when something like this happens to Rat. Like Christmas, if it happened too often, it wouldn’t be special.
Packratjohn Premium Member about 10 years ago
No, you’re thinking of “faggots”.
barister about 10 years ago
Give it a rest already. It is starting to resemble bullying. They very thing “others” are accused of.

Pete must have showered this year.

If the elves and crocodiles mingled…..
