Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 19, 2024

I guess he didn’t want to be alone.

Why would a lemming want to follow a bully’s advice?! Dan aka…

They should have given him something to wear, like a little tie, so you could tell which lemming was jumping in panel 3.

The irony is palpable.

We’ll see which side wins on November 5th.

It’s called peer pressure!

Lemming #1 thought about the fact that he didn’t like being booed at.

People aren’t sheep. People are lemmings.

I mean, why would they be jumping off a cliff if it wasn’t so cool. Right? Right??

Oh come on. Enough with this disinformation misinformation fake news already!

Wait! Lemmings are Leftists?

This seems like one of those nature vs. nurture things, and nature prevailed this time.

At least the guy who wants to give a history lesson about Disney and lemmings hasn’t shown up…yet.

Forgot to put on the bungee cord.

Won’t make that mistake twice.

if you listen to fools . . . . the mob rules!

The cartoon lemming mother’s version of an old Mom saying. “If all your friends didn’t jump off a cliff, would you not jump too?”

Lemmings must have bad willpower.

Hurry up;there’s a long line of republicans waiting behind you.

If you ask me, the mob can shove it if they’re trying to force people to think one way.

Man, Stephan, you have beaten this lemming arc into the ground. Perhaps time to move on?

Of course, thinking for yourself is also likely to result in the conclusion that the world is doomed.

Yes, it is, Pig.

Instead of jumping off cliffs, lemmings can now be seen blocking freeways in most major US cities

And the outlier sure does get ridiculed.

Then there is the aptly named person, with a name that means a weight hanging on a line swaying with whichever way the wind blows.

What a waste of the waistless.

“The pull of the mob is strong” certainly explains the state of American politics, regardless of party.

what is lemmings over the cliff called? old wives tale?

Equity for every lemming who wishes to be like everyone else. No diversity allowed.

Like gravity!

But, Mexico is still gonna pay for it, right?

The lemming wins todays Darwin Award.

Misery loves company. The lemmings can all go to hell if they choose….

Well, this certainly describe the concept of “fashion”!

Did this happen on January 6th?

It is so much easier to live someone else’s life vicariously. No need to worry about popularity, you are part of a family then. Or a mindless herd at least.
