Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 07, 2016
Transcript:
Dear president Obama, This country needs reform A whole lot of reform. So I propose we start with the following new law: The next hipster to make the peace sign in a photo gets both of those fingers fed to a wolverine. Rat: It's nice to be part of the solution.

No need to take his fingers, Rat — I’m sure he’d be happy to give you one. I know I would.

He could just cut off Rat’s fingers so there are no more letters.

Rat is never part of the solution. He is definitely part of the precipitate.

In some areas of the world those 2 fingers are an obscene gesture

Any particular wolverine? Has Pearls ever had a wolverine character? Would you have to have a wolverine corps to handle this or would a single wolverine finger specialist be enough?

I fell for Rat with all the HATE he’s getting. While his “solution” is most certainly not workable, at least he’s trying. At least he’s working to find a solution to a problem he thinks exists. More than I can say for a certain political party in CONGress, elevating the filibuster to new heights, refusing to do their Constitutional duties not the least of which is filling a Supreme Court vacancy. Petulant little children the whole lot. They could take a page from Rat, at least he’s willing to work, minimally, to find solutions to problems. Bad solutions, unworkable solutions but he’s working on the problem at least.

And this strip is next door to The Fusco Brothers, so no need to search for a wolverine.

Couldn’t we start with cutting off the man-bun instead?

Backwards peace sign at that. And if they fill obligated to stretch their mouth open and stick out their tongue, please feed the tongue to the wolverine as well.
Mike Parsons Premium Member about 8 years ago
