Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 24, 2015

Why did Rat join a peace rally anyway?

Mr Rat, your idea of peace is rather distorted.

goat needs weapons of mass destruction if he hopes to sustain any iota of peace..duh..

don’t forget blow up a federal building in Oklahoma..right..

All we are saying is give my piece a chance.

Peace through total domination! —That’s Rat’s view.Pig is dumbfounded.Goat is unconscious….

Bio, one word, prefix.

So much for world peace……..

I’ve been to a lot of “peace movement” meetings that were pretty much like this cartoon. The narcissism of small differences.

99 Decision street 99 ministers meet To worry, worry, super scurry Call the troops out in a hurry This is what we’ve waited for This is it boys, this is war The president is on the line As 99 red balloons go by

The strip’s a morality play – Goat is how we’d like it to be, Rat is how it actually is, Pig is the Wise Fool.

No balloons! Dangerous to wildlife.

Oh the irony of this strip and these comments!

rat..just GO AWAY!!!!!

Animals dying from balloons! Birds dying from the rice we thoughtlessly throw at weddings! Climate Change! AAAAAHHH! We’re all gonna die! Only Carbon Credits can save us now!! Too much salt in our diets! Don’t eat eggs! Everything is poisonous! There is no hope! Not even for anthropomorphic comic strip characters! Fracking! Chernobyl! The Tea Party! EEEEEEEK!

Make a hawk a dove,Stop a war with love,Make a liar tell the truth.:Change their minds, and change the world!

Why isn’t the Duck moderating this rally? (Because he carries a bazooka!)

Rat is an example that having First Strike Capability is important!

“you and i will change the world. it’s been said before but who cares. because you and i will change the world”

Those who promise peace always endeavor to achieve it by abolishing freedom.

Hmm – this is similar to the conference of the self-righteous from last week.

Why is the first question, “Should we have balloons”?

Why is that the first question?
