Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 08, 2024

angry bobs

Holy crap,h ow long has it been since we last saw Angry Bob?

I saw where this was going by the third panel, and I didn’t need any smoke signals.

What just sit down eat the salmon mousse and wait?

Earlier this year, I tried to get tickets for Amtrak a month in advance. One of the trips was sold out. Apparently trains are as popular as they’ve ever been.

Spunch bop? lol

I’m over it. Done.

Bobbing along with a run in with a rat fink. Oops my bad or Bob.

Were they on the warpath?

Shoulda tied Bob to the railroad track….

Bob should’ve thought twice before presenting that book.

I thought for sure there would be a punchline about an injun in an engine.

Nattering Nabobs of Negativism!

Ironically, some people will get mad at you for saying “Native American” (because it’s – horrors – “woke”), and don’t seem to realize that they’re the ones getting offended by words.

Too tiny and too many words for my old eyes!

Angry Bob! It’s been a while.

Just do!

And the rest is history!

But Angry Bob’s intention was to make the world a less angry place?

“Never try!” – Stephan Pastis. A good pull quote for X

So he was a “Na-Bob of Negativity”.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. – Yoda

It was a gallant effort.

“Indian Express” is actually a newspaper here and some people get offended by reading some stuff in it!! LOL!!

Word to Laugh Ratio too high on this one.

Made me laugh!

“Hellbound Train” by Robert Bloch. Rat will love it.

That is a very weird comic today.

Needed more cow bell.

That about sums things up.

Rat was trying. Very trying!

It should have been a steam engine

Haven’t had one of these in a while. Kjnd of an abrupt ending though.

I can’t believe that we finally got a new Angry Bob strip after god knows how many years, and it’s just a lame “cancel culture” joke. Mehhhhh

Sorry Stephan, but I saw that joke coming from way down the track…

Well, that was just weird.

Did you see the YouTube of the East Indian on the roof of a train who lost his balance and grabbed the high voltage power wire. He was the best conductor ever.

try smarter

Angry Bob should write a story about a comics website that has so many pop-up ads you can’t even finish reading one Sunday strip without your screen filling up with advertisements for cheap s—t.

I am now left wondering if this is a reference to Bob the Angry Flower, or if this is like the disclaimer on movies that “any resemblance to events and persons depicted is purely coincidental”

I see where that went wrong, Bob was angry. He needs to find the root of his anger and work on that.

I recommend therapy.

Why are they mad? They are “Native Americans” now. “Indians” are people who live in India.

Angry Bob isn’t anyone you want to meet on a dark and stormy night…..

Angry Bob was also Lousy Judgement Bob and Context Blind Bob. Which is often the case.

“cancelled”.. ridiculous terminology hyped up from the internet & tv.

Pastis seemed to be somewhat obsessed with censorship and the threat of being “canceled.” Is someone out to get him?

I’ve actually seen the opposite happening lately – people saying and doing whatever they want with impunity. Not only that, but many of them are being appointed to high positions.

The CEO is a woman. Look up her picture. P-poor CEO the wrong man.

The L.A. Times did not publish this “Pearls” in today’s Sunday comics section. I guess the paper’s owner thought it was too offensive . . . or not offensive enough.

It’s been a long time since Indians went “Woo woo woo”. :)

To be fair, Bob should have realized that such a convoluted setup was unlikely to end the way he expected it to.
