Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 11, 2021

I hope Neighbor Bob got to keep the Olives.

I kinda agree with Rat, these times ARE confusing.

I can hardly imagine the turtledove whapping Noah with an olive branch.

Rat, may the Dove of Peace poop upon your head.

How is Rat gong to explain hitting him after the confusing times are over?

Yeah, “new era of togetherness.” Also, frame and arrest anyone who disagrees with me.

Good thing he didn’t say he had come to bury the hatchet.

The violent ratical strikes again.

Worked for Reagan.

Rat remember what Payback is ? Watch your back ;-) … Croc Power !

Felonious assault. Lock him up!

Would you honestly expect Rat to do something nice and decent?

Kind of like what we’re experiencing now.

So it turns out Rat is a Democrat.

Good thing for Neighbor Bob that Rat didn’t whap him with his Louisville Slugger.

i love olives on my pizza….

The proper thing for Neighbor Bob to do is offer an olive branch (back) to Rat (maybe a bigger heavier olive branch).

Can’t olive us just get along?

Eyes on the olive branch, arrows at the ready

Something for olive us to hold onto.

The congressional concept of “unity”.

RAT is always confusing the real meanings…..

I think I missed something. Are we not doing the social distancing anymore?

No dove, Rat.

I feel like the olive jokes were kind of inevitable with this comic. I guess olive us can’t turn down a good pun.

Next thing he can try clearing Bob’s driveway and get a “wonderful” thank you.

Pretty sure that is not exactly what the Greek Gods intended when giving Athena the right to Attica over Poseidon. Although … maybe that IS what Poseidon wanted to do with Athena’s olive tree …

So much for a traditional symbol of peace.

OHHHH yeah… the various Cosby lines!

“So they thigh cuffed us together!”

“I had to have my music!”

“ICE cream… we’re gonna have ICE cream!”

“I’ve been HIT in the…. You’d better not touch …”!

So there I was, at the top of the hill, yelling “Go around, Idiot! Go around!!”

And there, at the bottom of the hill, were 900 cop cars!"

DAD! …. BREATHE!

“And Lord… have you seen the bottom of that ark?! WHO’s gonna clean that up, Lord?!”

“My throat can tell a raisin from a lump!”

Imagine, half-way though the comments having to go back and see what comic strip you were reading.

Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me.

Rat’s just maintaining Tradition with the current clone Neighbor Bob, Goat. Maybe he’ll offer you an olive branch too….

Where oh where is Larry?
