Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 20, 2017

And this rodent is the Oval Office?

If you ARE the President, or an ex-president, you kinda do take precedence.

Folks, I think a lot of us can come up with a better pun than this. I’ll go first:

This is the day we get out the iron and run it over Pig’s dense head; Press-a-dense Day!

Who’s next?

Who wants to celebrate them? Apparently not Congress. They are the ones who combined Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays into 1 holiday.

Not my precedent.

I’m celebrating Washington and Lincoln. The rest? Pfah.

To answer Rat’s question: Federal employees!

The best reason for some holidays is to help us remember where we came from and to try and build upon that past…………….

One group of people happy about the Trump presidency are the descendants of James Buchanan, who will no longer be seen as the worst president ever.

crocs please

We’re celebrating the Supreme Court?

That’s why it’s still “officially” called Washington’s Birthday, at least at the federal level

Everybody flag the troll.

Retailers.

Goatpox, crocpox, zebrapox, pigpox and maybe a couple of other poxes would completely decimate most, if not all, the cast of characters on “Pearls Before Swine”. What would Pastis do then? Today’s Frog Applause is about poxes. http://www.gocomics.com/frogapplause/2017/02/20

Is the “Rat is President” storyline over now?

Shame, I was enjoying it!

Rat’s hyper-inflated ego would be suitably stroked if you would just pretend to grovel, Goat….

Nobody, Rat. Nobody…

In Ontario Canada, it’s “Family Day.”Better the devil(s) you know, yes?

This is actually coming from Rat, who happens to be the president?

Hey! This is the first time I’ve read an older strip on the right day!
