Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 13, 2020

Could work for some Italian politicians I know that I don’t want to name .

That’s quite shocking.

If we used electricity with each of the lying politicians, we would have to bring the electric chair and a power plant.

Regarding Pig’s statement in the last panel, most politicians are already revolting.

Not enough power on the entire eastern seaboard to knock the BS out of Trump!

Give it a try!

Man. I can’t really think of any politician who would not be fried if they took a jolt every time they lied regardless of political affiliation (though some are obviosly worse than others). This seems like the premise of a great video with the Ramones playing “Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment” as some of the most blatant lies of our leaders are displayed for public consumption…..

It would work on some politicians, but not all. One party is good at “Volt Suppression”.

Now, where do I attach this thing?

Sorry folks, but that’s all wishful thinking… Modern defibs don’t do anything with (physically) healthy people. Way too secure….

Politicians are the epitome of the walking dead: no conscience, no brain, no soul, no feeling.

the pols would just come back with, please, sir, may i have another…?

We need those, especially in an election year!

Of course, we would give them all fair warning before attaching it. Then they could retire, reform, or re-fry.

I’d be lying if I said I don’t like this idea! :D

Politically, I am a Pavlovian. Behavioural modification through electrical stimulation.

Anything is worth a try these days!

They should be used for that purpose.

maybe they could build a chair, with straps, that could give them treatments…..

I prefer the Gene Wilder version.

Never mind the volts, crank up the amps!

Is someone who tweets and can’t spell ‘Stupid’ a Alice Cooper fan of the song Hey Stoopid

He has incentives. There are large portions of the electorate who don’t like being told the truth. It upsets them.

Or…10,000 lies and Yer Out! (45 is at 18,000 now.). Where’s the referee? God? Buddah? Aliens? Little help here?

See that many commenters do not like politicians. Perhaps it is time for some of those to run for office and correct what they see is wrong . May the force be with you ! ;-) … Croc Power !

I’d like to see Trump get zapped by that.

Watt!? That should jolt them out of their current situation.

If only this were what it actually does!

From pig’s mouth to God’s ears.

I’ve got a Cattle Prod we can use…

I believe the defibrilator of the cheeto has the shape of a chair, and he is tied to it while using it, but is intended for one use only

A de”fib”ulator wouldn’t work on the Cheeto in chief. You’d need a de”whopper”ulator, super sized.

“A statesman is a dead politician. Lord knows we need more statesmen.” – Opus

I don’t think ANYTHING works With politicians, unless there’s bribe money ….evil

One more jolt. He’s still twitching.

I’d pay to see that!

Let’s have Larry set it up!

Did you notice the bricks on the wall spell pie?!

On a totally different subject, does anyone know why he’s stopped using the crocs? They were my favorites. Too much fon for today’s world?

Not certain there is enough power available for the charge that would be needed.

“A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker.” – Mencken

Somebody needs to invent a machine that does that and then treat all Politicians with it on a minimum daily basis.

How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving!

Have a heart.

One more volt for each fib told.

Not the worst idea.

Last panel, Goat needs to save his voice and have a sign made.

Crank it up and rip the knob off!

Tell Donald it’s a cure for COVID!

sounds like its worth a try

Didn’t read a single comment. Having too good of a day to expose myself to poison.

If only Pig’s ideas, no matter how ridiculous, could be put to use. (I also wish to say this about myself: I consider myself conservative, though I am not happy with what we’ve had as ‘leadership’ from any side of our politics in the last thirty years. I often feel like one of the very few Pee on the right who even reads comics anymore, if comments are anything to go by. That includes the only two editorial cartoonists I follow here.)

Nice idea, Pig, but, as Goat says, it just doesn’t work that way….

Why do I get the sense that Pearls now has an old-timey look?

When people say “defibbulater” I picture them with bendy shins.

440 3 phase sounds about right for politicos.

Just the one politician?
