Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 12, 2017

Pastis was last seen on a plane heading south of Florida.

Rat was last seen signing an executive order requiring PBS to be replaced with his version of Family Circus.

Thanks, fellas, for getting rid of Rat.

I guess that’s the real reason Donald Trump became president.

Is that the fearful thing they’re perpetuating on us?

The masterminds behind this evil plot are reported to be Not Me and Ida Know.

:-(

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Bil Keane is really the one running the country. He just allows all those other creepy guys with dark glasses and such to exist so we’ll worry about them and leave him alone to do as he wishes.

Most polls usually gives the military at or near the highest rating of government offices. Pastis may be running out of croc material and if he is going to move into the revolution movement, he may find himself MIA from a lot of bookmarks.

What if our comic strip were censored?

Dysfunctional.

I’m scared.My tummy feels hurty.

I really hate it when good comic strips try to get political!

What if real families were replaced by Stepford families where the children never grew up and the adults never aged?

I like it. Cartoonists are thinking people with a platform. Let them use it.

Washington officials have a lot of very important issues on their minds these days.

Like fashion lines!

If you want to find Pearls Before Swine again follow the dotted line.

Pastis just found out that waterboarding is not another term for surfing.

Pastis you are the greatest !!!!!

It could have been worse… the could replace the strip with ‘Cathy’.

How do you know the suits are from the government? Easy, there are 3 men standing around watching 1 man work.

The scary part is this might be closer to the truth then we realize.

There’s no question that Trump himself (one of the least secure people in the country, apparently) would just love to censor a huge number of talk shows, comedians, comic strips, editorial cartoons, editorial columns, songs, dances, tee shirts………..

Billy’s contract keeps him out of this parody portrayal !!!

Well they do say that ANYTHING can happen in a comic strip.

Rat finally stumbles upon the Deep State.

Aha! A gummymint plot. —The only possible explanation for the Family Circus cartoon!

Thank you, Cartoon-Boy. How’s the weather down there in Guantanamo?

Ah! It’s the government.
