Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 10, 2015

The wrong fowl to tick off.

It wasn’t that serious, guys — no need to grouse about it.

I notice GD has re-upped.

YES!!!!!! GUARD DUCK IS BACK AS GUARD DUCK!!!! And not that lame “I’m retired” character.

Newton’s Fourth Law of Cartoon Physics.

Geez,Goat! Making such a specious specist remark… what a butt head thing to do! You’ve run afoul of the wrong fowl.

Please, Cartoon boy, give us more Guard Duck!!

Actually, today’s whole strip is lame…lame |lām|adjective (of something intended to be entertaining) uninspiring and dull

I’m reluctant to admit this, but, a while ago, I happened to see an episode of “Green Acres” about a duck who was a war hero in Hungary with Lisa. It was titled “Son of Drobny”. Of course, I thought of Little Guard Duck. I found this one picture, but I don’t have great hopes that it will show up.

There was also a sequel, “A Girl for Drobny”. (I might have better luck with this picture of Arnold and Drobny.)

Goat doesn’t have time to be politically correct. Where have I heard that before? I’m sure I heard it on TV recently….I think someone with a duck tail may have said it, but I’m not sure.

Goat better watch his back. Guard Duck might come back with a rocket launcher, and blast him

There may be a lame goat shortly.

Why not? Everything else is.

That’s it? Guard Duck gets a short walk-on, with no lines?!I may not be Guard Duck’s agent, but if I were, I’d be taking Cartoon-Boy to school on this insult to a great character!

The characters in this strip sure do happen along at the most opportune times…

Duck jokes, quack me up.

so now pastis has started his own initial social agendaC.I. – and the media will pick it up and societies will be formed and C.I. language will be introduced and the world will be a better place and C.I. will be the new p.c. and guard duck will be the head-

LGD needs no lines, that look said it all,. I’m down with it. ( GROAN )

It would have been funnier if the duck had had a crutch.

Don’t even go there the @%$&**X polititcally correct police will jump on the band wagon.

Just goose the duck and run afowl of his good nature! Let’s see how chicken Goat is! He’d better run, or there will be quite a squabble!

Very lucky for goat that guard duck wasn’t carrying his bazooka-

If there is one person—er, character—er, duck you don’t want to offend, it’s Li’l Guard Duck.

Well, he is a duck; maybe he should have said “web-foot challenged” rather than lame.

Famous last words

Goat, You just made the wrong move provoking a duck that owns 150 different types of guns in his closet.
