Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 19, 2017
Transcript:
Jason: Hey, Paige...why is our art in the place of 'Pearls Before Swine' today? Paige: It's the revenge of Stephan Pastis. Jason: What? Paige: Last year we made fun of 'Pearls' in this very strip. Jason: So he got ahold of our original art file? Paige: Yep. And now he's changing all the dialogue. Jason: Holy @#*#. I fear he'll mock our creator, Bill Amend, for being a lazy, little weasel. Paige: Just because Bill decided to only draw Sunday strips so he can spend 18 hours a day playing 'World of Warcraft'? Jason: I'm gonna run before this @#*# gets ugly. Rat: At least we didn't end it with a stupid pun. Paige: Amend to that!

Today’s “Fox Trot” also got into the act.
It’s been too long since SP has collaborated with other cartoonists. I remember when Rat was spitting sunflower seeds at “Family Circus,” and the kids in that strip told their mommy that “Not Me” was responsible for all the seeds on the floor.
Let us have more of these comic crossovers! If that means fewer croc strips, so be it!

Caution: revenge before breakfast can cause side effects, including splitting sides, itchy funnybones, and laughteritis. Cases of guffaw-induced lockjaw have also been known to occur.
Cartoon-Boy has been set up by the dastardly Syndicate, however, as That Other Guy has had their blog in hand and returned fire today already, though Cartoon-Boy spend a year on his plan.
This will not end well. Puns will happen. WE ARE ALL DOOMED! And I blame it on That Other Guy!

I had to scroll down very quickly to avoid reading spoilers since many of you might have already seen Fox Trot first before I did! Fox Trot is the next to last strip before Stone Soup in my Comics Carnival lineup on Sundays.

How many noticed that the individual panels from 2016 are identical to today’s? With the exception of Rat being added into the last panel… And the signature scratched over and amen-ed"…

Hahahahaha! Great strip! Toooo funny. Skyrim SE is better than WOW. Foxtrot was pretty funny which made me look forward to Pearls! Great job to both cartoonists!

OK—this one made me laugh. The comic hybrids are always fun, and the punchline (though corny) was fun. Well done, Pastis.
