Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 29, 2020

There are some idiots that no village wants to claim.

Larry is the best eediot!!

“…and here on election night, the race is still too close to call.”

What do Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight think?

I’m sure now that in this country, if an axe murderer were running, the votes would be 52-48%. Probably against him.

wow

You cannot just train  to be the Village Idiot, you have to have a lot of innate talent  and keep training and training…

What idiocy have you committed LATELY?

Will the KGB interfere with this election? If so, which one will they put in office?

Plenty of village idiocy to go around, worse luck.

Me am once try be veelidj idjit. Veelaje am tell me me am overkwallyfide.

Rat is a KGB mole(insectivore) rather than a rodent in this election!

Only village idiots stand for elections while the wise ones go for either monarchy or communism, isn’t it, Pig?

Really can’t argue with that poll.

More Pig bias by Mr. Pastis ! Guess we will have to wait 3 more months to see the Crocs :-( … Croc Power !

538 has it in a three-way tie.

larry will win. he’s going to claim pig is really turkey bacon…….

It IS a fair point

Sorry, but I think Larry would have won hands down

Washington DC, needs to lose its idiot….he keeps turning up like a bad roll of pennies…..

So we only get to see Larry once?

You’ll have to search wastebaskets to find that all those votes were for you!

It is a fair point. However, only one of the candidates is a malignantly narcissistic con man with the intellectual and emotional capacity of a slow and troubled third grader.

Candidates are all stupid.

then who will they elect?

what do you mean he is not a stable genius

I’m putting in a ballot for season one Zuko.

This is not helpful. It is very unlikely all the candidates are idiots. The idea that there is a “perfect” candidate is like looking for a “perfect” human. They don’t exist. Start with you local candidates whom you have a better chance of knowing who they are and what their values are. Life is never perfect. You make the best choice you can and learn from the experience

The 92% are wrong; a lot of those other candidates are cunning amoral con-men and thieves, just waiting to loot the taxpayers until they bleed!

As for the two named candidates, I’m gonna vote for Larry Croc, because every so often Pig shows a glimmer of intelligence….

Dang! That’s some high quality PBS cynicism!

Yes, but who are the real idiots, the elected officials or the electorate?

Pastis sees the world clearly.

Careful Pastis, or you’ll attract Rall’s trolls.

Vote for Pig, his idiocy has wisdom in a weird kind of way.

Well I’m definitely not in the 92%

Pig has my vote!

xxx

There needs to be a pearls before swine strip where they play among us.

Some tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, but many more by the village genius.

Who else is betting that Stephan is going to win it?

I mean, they aren’t wrong.

One of the candidates is a nice idiot who’s friends with a pessimistic and narcissistic rat, the other is a stupid jackass who wants to eat his “Zeeba Neighba”
