Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 11, 2016
Transcript:
Reporter: Sir, is it true that your presidential campaign is now based on one issue- The invasion of Greenland Rat: Yes: It's a territory of the Danes and they won't see it coming. Reporter: But why Greenland? Rat: Because it's eight times the size of Great Britain, but only has 57,000 people, which is not much more than Sarasota, Florida. Reporter:I see, so by that logic, why not just invade Sarasota, Florida? Rat: Well now there's an idea. Reporter: And sadly he's still better than the other two candidates. Rat: Sarasota, your retirement communities are mine!

Sarasota? Is that where they have a Ringling Museum? A clown museum? You don’t have enough troops, Rat!

The Zikas have always wanted to fly north during the summer months, but Mr. Zika is concerned about the accommodations and food situation in Greenland. Mrs. Zika, rest assured, explained that they can always make a quick stop along the way.

Rat could invade Aroostook County, Maine. It’s larger than CT and RI combined…and only 70,000 people.

Pastis, stop the punning for a while and try using that big brain of yours to really research the candidates.
OR just keep being like all the other cartoonists and whine that both candidates are “exactly the same”.
Kaputnik about 8 years ago
Next he’ll decide that Greenland is way too cold, and Florida is unpleasantly hot. So he’ll invade Dayton Ohio.

Pastis, your lack of humor trying to be funny politically is truly embarassing. End this stuff before you lose ALL your readers and wind up asking people if they want fries with what they hand you money for.
