Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 27, 2017

But you get more retweet’s when you blatantly lie.

Truth is so 2015. So is decency.

“Truth is so 2015.” That’s the truth!

It’s the alt-life for me, says Rat. His cousin, the ugly one, is in the white House.

Unfortunately, since truth is so 2015 in this country, the U.S. is also so 2015.

“Truth is so 2015”? Sorry, boys, truth quit being popular a LONG time before 2015.

Truth is now a matter of opinion. The one who shouts loudest and the most is the winner.

…FAKE NEWS! Take away their lisence!

Confeffie! Now we know they live in DC.

We as a nation are at war with ourselves. “The first casualty when war comes is truth”. Hiram W. Johnson

The underlying truth in today’s comic strip makes me laugh – but only because I dare not cry at work.

“Truth is so 2015”?

“That depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is”

I mourn the loss of objective news reporting by any network or media outlet whatsoever.

Using Twitter as a source of important information is so…stupid, in any year.

I’m reading a book called Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen. It is how America was founded by the gullible for the gullible. Basically people came here thinking they could escape reality and have been trying to escape ever since. People like PT Barnum took advantage of that.

So Rat is STILL President??

Fake news elects fake president.

Fake news is not exactly new. See https://qz.com/842816/fake-news-almost-destroyed-abraham-lincoln/

Truth died long before 2015. 2008 was a particularly nasty start to 8 years of it.

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four; if that is granted, all else follows.” (George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Indeed, the truth is only just now getting its boots on even as we speak.

OK, look, I am as appalled as anyone by the way Trump comports himself as President, but really, Stephan, there are other wells you can go to for material from time to time.

You lie, Goat! I know for a fact Stephan Pastis groped one of his female croc characters last week during a rough sketch session.

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!

“Because lying is quicker.” Ironically, I give him points for being honest!

Twitter looks boring to me. Just page after page of people’s boring statuses.

Let’s parse “honesty”!

Golly. Who can remember all the way back to 2015?! It seems so long ago!

The truth is out there..2 years before this strip.
