Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 09, 2017

Is hunting cartoonists allowed?

the bull should gorge Steph for getting him involved

Stephan really knows how to milk a gag.

Goat didn’t finish his statement in the last panel. I wonder why.

Yeah, I see what you did there in the last panel, Stephan!

I need a shot now.

Well, if you shoot the bull in the eye, that would make it quick. But it would also give you more points in the sport.

Hmm… That’s a dilemma.

Bullfighting: “slow torture”. That’s totally wrong. The bulls have been breed to kill anything that moves. These are tough animals. Their necks are weakened to make it possible to insert the sword but these creatures feel no pain. They are too focused on killing the matador to notice anything else.

It’s inhumane, it’s torture! These puns are killing us!

I agree with Pig. I think hunting animals to make a sport out of it is disgusting. Now if one is hunting for the sake of eating that’s different

no beef here

You sure you ain’t acting the goat?

Bullseye!

Stop, Stephen. Please. Just stop.

Sometimes the matador loses.

“I am the matador!” … name that flick.

Got in a new supply of weed I presume.

why did he raise his hands? isn’t he bulletproof?

Just Mooove along, Cartoon boy…

A very loud groan

I will never be a Vegetarian. I was brought up to eat meat and if that makes me cruel so be it.

Typical arrogant Americans. If another country’s culture is different than your’s, it’s barbaric cruel and should banned. No is forcing you to watch or endorse their customs, so get over yourselves.

I love the Pastis Puns! The groanier the better!

Let’s all hunt Cartoon-Boy! Of course, he’s not the Most Dangerous Game; more like the most irritating. Let the pun-ishment fit the crime!

Stef was not cowed by the confrontation.

Good thing I was in the moo-d for a bad pun. Otherwise reading this strip would have been a big misteak.

This whole thing is abomina-bull.

Udderly ridiculous. Hell bent for leather. Time to hoof it down to the burger joint. Then to the strip club to see the women in their PASTIS!!!

That’s a lot of bull. (probably the first thing Pig ever said, know what I mean?)
