Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 01, 2016

Rat, smart move to promote your strengths.

“Despair”? I’d rather get de strike.

Despair? I thought Hope was the parody one.

Where’s Pig?

Donald Trump should take lessons from Rat. Honesty would be a good start. Maybe he should just follow Pig’s lead from yesterdays strip instead.

Rat may just be the one to start a revolution in politics. He is pretty revolting.

Gloom, DESPAIR and agony on me if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all………….Rat’s campaign song !

Right now, given the likely alternatives, Rat is looking good to me.

It looks like a good one for Cruz.

There really isn’t much to choose from is there? There’s only one candidate (IMHO) that is showing some sign of presidential qualities and he has his issues.

Rat’s describing the whole campaign season, all the candidates, all the time.

Pretty sure that Cthulhu has been campaigning under the parody “despair” banner since 2008.

I believe this year’s campaign slogan is: #nolivesmatter.

Cthulhu – 2016

Sorry Rat, someone else has already taken it. Though their not touting the despair part. And they have no writing under the image. And their poster actually looks more like communist propaganda (looks a little like a Lenin, Stalin, or Mao poster).

A beer on every table.

rat has my vote – why you ask? (well maybe you didn’t)it is because at least i know what to expect from the little ratmore than i can say for all the politicians over the last 12 years and counting, who seem to have a really hard time with speaking the truth or telling the truth about anything – imhono wonder so many of my friends have quit voting, quit caring, and have gone into ‘safe’ mode when it comes to politics. after 46 years of having the privilege to participate and seeing the results of the outcome they and I have decided there is no HOPE, period(sorry to be the gloom patrol, but my ‘hope meter’ has dimmed more the last 8 years than ever before in my life when it comes to believing that people in politics can get anything right, ever)now people outside of politics – that’s a completely different story :)

Drumpf is despair. some people think it’s ok for him to want to have sex with his daughter.

We have. They ended 7 years ago.

Cthulhu for President. Why vote for the lesser evil?

Let’s be honest:If Obama had not made such a lampoonable “iconic” Communist-leader-style poster, and Trump had, everyone who loved the Obama poster would be condemning Trump for it…… especially all the people who eagerly plastered Obama’s “Hope” poster on their windows and walls.

Too true to be funny.

I think that is a perfect slogan for this presidential year in general

Looks like Pastis saw Steven Breen’s cartoon today in GoComics.

Futurama did it first with Nixon’s head.

I hope Obama goes away and the failed policies of the last 16 years go away forever.

You are delusional if you think Obama’s policies have been a failure. He’s succeeded despite the worst Congressional obstruction in the history if our nation.

And yet people say all politicians are liars.

Look again.

i keep de spair in de trunk

I’ve already bought into the slogan Rat has appropriated as his own, but that doesn’t mean I’d necessarily vote for him….

“Despair” technically constitutes all the candidates. Rat gets points for being up front with it.

Steve. So honest!!

Sorry, Rat, Obama beat you to it.

Where were you born, Rat? We need a candidate like you and ASAP!

this photo (i dont now how to pose pics)

That’s not a nice way to celebrate may Birthday you @#$%*&$ Rat (Don’t tell him I said that, I’m bein’ serious here.)

Trump’s would be “drop dead” and there would be a picture of a plague doctor on the sign.
