Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 05, 2020

And no jury would convict Stevie.

Except in modern day America, a corporation would be figuring out how to profit off this. Or a lobbyist would get the government to make sure his industry got their cut of it.

This also is the start of a new Roshambo:

Shovelnose buries hammer.

Hammernose breaks saw.

Sawnose cuts shovel.

Shouldn’t the hammering part (not the claw) of Henry’s nose be facing downward? (Is it also possible the obscured blue shirt in the far left be David Drillnose?)

Start of Habitat for Humanity

So what does Mr. Pipenose in panel 5 like to smoke?

I would comment on the lawyer but I have a conflict of interest — waiting to hear from a lawyer about suing former employers who cheated us big time.

Seems a little nasally. I wonder what Stewie Strawnose does for a living.

Oh goodie! I’m the first to mention that it’s “And I can sue WHOEVER falls below . . .” But of course there will be those who will attempt to debate that. I blame the public schools.

Small towns can be so nosy.

The standard of care doesn’t seem to be intrinsically funny. What is the context of “care” here? Seems likely this is some kind of legacy memory of Pastis’s old life?

Except the guy who has a pipe for nose, how do the others sneeze?

Is Petey the Politician nose also known as Pinocchio?

Looks like another Wet dream cruising through the Gulf Stream … Croc Power !

LOL! “No, no. They feel good!” Epic line there.

“The First thing we do is kill ALL the Lawyers!” Shakespeare…

Looks like heathen communism to me.

Politicians = LIES Deceit collusion…..

Excellent strip, Stephan!

I was waiting for an epic pun in the last panel, but this one’s good.

You misused “whom” there in the 6th panel.The only thing funnier than “whom” used correctly is “whom” used incorrectly.

The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.

Last spring I found my first Shovelnose Snake, a real beauty and very sweet!

I love happy endings.

Now that’s a story.

Pity. They missed a few.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” post Christmas variation.

hammernose is going to have to be very flexible to hammer anything lol

That’s when he gets sued.

And yet, From Each According to his Ability, To Each According to his Needs routinely fails. Go figure.

The correct word is whoever, not whomever….

I’m from the government, and I’m here to help. We have some fine house-trailers from our hurricane Katrina response. We’ve deodorized them with thousands cloves of garlic.

Isn’t Petey Politiciannose just Pinocchio?

Henry Hammernose’ hammer is upside down.

Maybe Mr. BriefcaseFace can clear all the government red tape gumming up the project – have you thought of that?

Father nose best.

Mr. Rocknose, Mr. Papernose and Mr. Scissornose couldn’t figure out what to do.

This strip is very troubling.

After finishing the project, they all celebrated with pizza from Domi-Nose. I apologize.

So sad for little Timmy no-nose, he knows not what to do. Is there no place for him in your utopia?

The Nose knows. “The Nose,” a.k.a. Cartoon-Boy….

How would you draw Pe- ya know what, I’m not even asking
