Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 19, 2016

Start the fire next door and let it spread to the target business to make it look legit.

Accelerating, one fire at a time.

I see a new show pitch for the DIY channel !!

Next, grand theft.

Then off to a very special camp.

We have one a few miles from me, called Los Guillicos.It’s especially for juveniles.

A merit badge and she gets her cookies? After all, isn’t it door to door with the crispy mints time?

Right now, I’d be worried if my last name were Marsh or Mallow.

This is the kind of humor for which I love this strip!

She looks so Happy !

What did they do? Torch southern California? (I’m going to get lynched for that)

In my long long ago time as a Cub Scout, I remember getting a merit badge for walking the rail of a railroad for 20 feet or so. I’m sure that would be considered much too risky for today’s children.

Steph, you really need to learn how to draw a rotated view of your characters. Do any of them ever turn their heads? (That is, rather than just reflecting left to right the one view you have.)

Guard Duck’s troop can join Snoopy and Lucy,

More crocs!!!!

Never heard that one before. Two guys meet on the beach: “Why aren’t you running your store?”“It caught fire. Why aren’t you running your store?”It blew down in a hurricane."“Really? How do you start a hurricane?”

She’ll earn her fund-raising badge…. as soon as she can find a gun.

It’s nice that she said, “yes, sir.” Show some respect for Goat.

Maybe you should keep her away from the matches.

You can join Snoopy and Lucy in today’s Peanuts.xxx

Who doesn’t love the Little Scouts and their very progressive merit-badge program? And who can argue with L’il Guard Duck’s take on ethical questions? Who dares?!
