Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 18, 2016

When it comes to religious sects, the best policy is abstinence.

Going over there would amount to suicide Rat. Rat kebab, anyone?

Someone should tell Rat that there’s no such thing as safe sects.

Never heard it pronounced like that. Which makes it funny for me. This is what his puns used to be like before they started happening so frequently.

Was the Comic Strip Censor out to lunch?

CSC, Stat!

“Sects” is one of those words like “thespian” that I always pronounce VERY carefully.

Unfortunately, Rat would convince a lot of people to be suicide bombers …… not that he intends to convince them.

Hoooboy. The things they get away with in the comics pages these days… :)

If you change religions does that make you a transsectual?

Remember to practice protected sects !

Does Goat have a speech impediment, or does Rat just have selective hearing?

Last night I watched the The Story of God with Morgan Freeman on Natgeo. I found it very interesting and informative. It was very objective.I suggest that believers and non-believers at least watch it.

Sects and violence go hand in hand…even in the funny pages.

Goat uttering “There’s no such thing as casual sects.” deserves a T shirt. I’d even buy one for each member of my family. Without getting too graphic, We’d look beautiful, if you like that look.

This reminds me of this strip from December 28:<img width= “300” src= http://www.realclear.com/comics/pearls_before_swine/images/2015/12/pearls_before_swine_december_28_2015.gif>

Oops, I don’t know what happened with the link. The point is, it reminds me of the strip from December 28.

I’m surprised that the CSC isn’t concerned about the overt sectsuality in this strip.

this must be why so many people keep joining them.

The refugees going to Greece has pretty much stopped. It is still being reported because reporters like to say, “I’m reporting from the Island of Lesbos.”

Such wisdom in three panels.

Where’s the final frame where the characters complain to Pastis about the terrible pun?

OMG, I actually laughed at this strip. It was the first time ever!

Umm. Where’s the Comic Strip Censor?

But it could be worse.

If you adhere to more than one, are you bisectsual?

Bravo Stephan, very clever!

Please do volunteer, Rat! First, grow a scruffy beard, then shout some dire-sounding slogans in local tongues.Then, await Hellfire.

OKAY WHERE IS THE CSC!!?!!

Personally I think Pastis went a little far this time…
