Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 08, 2015

Pete Carroll could have used him on the goal line.

Washington could have used him, or maybe they did.

Now that’s sudden death.

darn these lemmings trying to cheat their friends into jumping off the ledge

How could he be tired of dying a meaningless death?

I want to die a Guitar Hero.

Nice catch; a little over the edge in the subsequent dramatics, though. There would probably be a fine, if the lemming were left to pay it….

Dang Pastis rub it in why don’t you :D

Its been a while since we’ve seen them

I’ll be the grump. I like the game and all, but how does catching a football make him a hero?

Is the Disney World line a reference to the inaccuracies in ‘White Wilderness’ that perpetuated all that nonsense about suicidal lemmings?See this for a good breakdown:http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.asp

It’s funny that Disney is the one who invented the myth that lemmings jump to their deaths…

Bad, JJ, Bad! But really funny!

Cue the scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. “What do you mean you can’t swim?” “The fall alone might kill you.” “hooooorse shi……………”

Or, dye a Guitar Hero. Whichever works.

If it was inflated correctly, he would’ve bounced…

Of course not. He’s going to Disneyland.

For us in the west, we get the “I’m going to Disneyland!” version. They film both responses at the same time. Not sure where the demarcation line is (for version seen).

a great example of the SuperBowl I see

Congratulations!R.I.P Champion of the Super Bowl.xxx

Was he grabbing his crotch. I couldn’t tell.

No! Right when I thought these guys were long gone.

Perhaps, but his catch will be forever remembered!!

please, stephan, this strip is depressing me.

Did you know that Stephan past is is in the wickipidia entry for lemmings???
