Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 25, 2015

But how does Bieber feel about Glynn?

John Glynn’s name is one letter off from a famous astronaut.

il est charlie

John Glynn, the beer-swilling, Bieber-loving, Godfather III fanboy syndicate head? Or John Glynn, the syndicate head who lets Cartoon Boy get away with this stuff?Do we get to vote on this?

The Help Wanted pages aren’t probably too far from the comic pages…

Je Suis Pastis

He enjoyed Godfather III? That’s incredibly unflattering.

well, its been nice reading “Pearls Before Swine”

Pearls was really funnier (for me) before Pastis started using himself so much as a character.

Sod greed, John Glynn

Kaputnik: I agree. Two of the best characters duck and the cat never seem to appear anymore. The Crocs became old and tired a long time ago for me.

Paint Glynn like a Zebra and call the Croks.

Me not know whuh da heck dis ees , but buy anyway. Power to the Crocs !

“No, I can’t give you a raise, Stephan… what? You’ll work me into a comic? Wow, my fifteen minutes of fame… Okay, it’s a deal!”

Get rid of Glynn!

Ew! Godfather III? That’s just hitting below the belt, Stephan!

I miss Whose Line … and Trust us with your life that appeared briefly afterward. Colin, Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles, and the others were great.

I bet Berke Breathed got calls like this all the time.

PBS,is one of my favorite toons. Pastis is a hoot. ‘LIKe’. :) Peace.

Never any shame for Pastis….

I’m betting John P. McMeel fines this very entertaining, funny, comical, humorous, lighthearted, jocular, witty, mirthful, hilarious, droll, and amusing!

I’m disappointed. I was sure there was some mockery coming.

With no CROCS, I hate Pastis also…..

Go get ’em Toon boy – not everyone thinks Family Circus is cutting edge…

“Inappropriate language and violence”? You should be talking to Aaron Neathery, not Stephan Pastis!

A wild day when Pearls Before Swine is political….And Prickly City is punny!

I quit reading those comics that offend me, e.g. Rose is Rose, Stone Soup, Non Sequitur, Doonesbury, for Better or Worse. Don’t care for the political-correctness. “Pearls” is maybe the best of what a comic strip should be – loud and boorish, occasionally a little bit naughty, and generally original.

Seriously? Rose is Rose and Stone Soup offended you? Egads, man. Seek therapy!

Yeah, good old Captain Hair…

Notice how much the character in the last frame resembles Rush Limbaugh.

Hilarious!!!!!

Don’t listen to him, Stephan! You just carry on with that talent of yours.xxx

Stephan Pastis is a god and anyone who doesn’t love his writing has no business reading it. The “irreverence” is hilarious.

I liked Godfather III…

Interesting to look at John Glynn syndicate executive on Google images and see how close to the mark Pastis got on his portrait. Also interesting to see how some other cartoonists worked Glynn in. He must be a beloved figure . . . or not?

BTW, speaking of puns, one of Mike Peters’ characters sets up a pun today:http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Mgoose/

Godfather III! That’s a low blow.

Does nobody recall this Academy Award-winning film* starring John Glynn and Stephan Pastis?…………………………………………….(*I lied. It didn’t win squat.)

Whats the difference between comic syndication CEOs and a blood sucking bat? Bats fly

Compared to other comic strips, Pastis is considered “edgy.” But then compared to other mediums, Stephan best puts it himself that he’s like “Captain Kangaroo.”I forget where I read that but Captain Kangaroo has stuck.

First his wife, now his boss…poor Stephan….

Can’t fault the grammar. The boss actually recognized a gerund.
