Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 08, 2021

Congress has to get its priorities straight.

No zeebas no party.

I agree with Larry in the last Panel.

“Pork” comes from zebras?

Will rat put put a billboard that says “Miss me yet?”

sooner or later, there’ll be a coup d’état on President Larry and Rat will be reinstated

I knew the president was a reptile!

Why is Pastis just giving a documentary on the US Government? Why no jokes?

Congress is the opposite of progress.

Mmm…zeeba meat.

No wonder he named his son Hunter.

Larry will have to settle for Impossible Zebra.

Another not funny one. The former Republican Party is too like that, eagerly dividing America’s house for their own profit. The result is a sick, weak America, but the Trumplicans are glad of that as long as they can own the so-called libs.

Nothing for the big guy?

Croc Power !

Not being American, I think this strip is very funny. Thank God I can watch from afar.

Why Larry talk in little font?

A cartoon poking fun at politics Republican or Democrat not mentioned, just humorous plain and simple. Love Lawrence , Larry if he wasn’t the Pres.

What’s in it for me?

Who says this comic ain’t realistic?

The stimulus bills will “help” million? Well, just replace the words “help million” with “Hurt hundreds of millions for decades to come” (maybe billions) and you will have it right.

Printing trillions of dollars will continue to drive inflation up. Plus the “stimulus” bills Congress wants to pass will create an end to gasoline and coal based economies that will drive people in to poverty and into dependence on government. There are also endless socialist/leftist programs designed to make hundreds of millions dependent on government for rest of their lives.

Sad Sad SAD!

That’s funny!

This “President” is very self-focused. Then again, I’m sure the White House kitchen could fix up a nice zebra steak. The problem with stimulus bills, well, any bill really, is that a bunch of perks can be written into it that favor the writers in Congress that have nothing to do with stimulus. Either pass it, and benefit organizations who aren’t actual people, or veto it and have Congress say you don’t want to help people. Politics.

MAGA, explained.

This would have funny during the Trump admin. Now it seems tone deaf.

Greed!

This is who replaced me.

“The love of Zebra meat is the root of all evil.”

Another bad bill from congress……

But, but, but.., It had PORK in it!!!

Executive Order: “Zeeba” is an acceptable synonym for “Zebra,” retroactive to Larry’s appearance on “Jeopardy!”.

Anything to own the Zeebs…

Larry’s expression in panel 3. Gotta love crazed expressions from “Pearls” characters.

Next in charge will be the innocent-looking cat.We’ll never know what hit us.

Just noticed VETO is an anagram of VOTE…whatever. :D

Next order: Find cough “Da Google” and “keel” “him”

Where rest of croc famli? Instead of son-in-law being advizer, need hot chick to be assisteent

Reminds me of a recent president.

The zeeba meat lobby must not be greasing the wheels enough…

I hate both parties. Republicans are idiots who kill people by rarely believing in science while democrats are so goddamn conceited and arrogant that I’m ashamed to call myself one.

Your Honor, this line of questioning is going nowhere.

gotta have 10% for the big guy.

Good one, Larry :)

So much for following the rules: Comment Policy: We welcome thoughtful, respectful comments that stay on topic. Yeah, I know… it doesn’t state what “topic” means…

President Croc has every right to hate Congress and veto their bill that does him no good (i.e., no zeeba meat). Everybody hates Congress!

This is so funny! Larry is one of my favorite PBS characters. Keep it up Steph!

Mitch McConnell, where bills and confirmations go to die, unless they’re from the Republican Party.

I guess that’s the last we’ll hear from Larry for a few years.
