Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 09, 2025

Dismal as that was, it’s still miles ahead of any Marvel film in many years

SV didn’t say it was a super hero – just “super”

Well, a Marvel “hero” is usually a walking mess, so this just might happen.

He’s more of a Detective Comics type, not Marvel.

Everyone will be asking Ugh. Who ripped that obnoxious odor?

A geological Godzilla!

Well that’s a cheery little comic.

That’s why, when I retired, I didn’t move to Yellowstone.

Ha! Puny. Next up: Santorini.

What’s the point of warning us if Mars isn’t ready yet? :)

I read that there is planning going on to bleed pressure off so as to defuse the likely future gigablast. Better to direct a flow of lava into a target location than to have it explode cataclysmicly all over the place. Don’t know if this is continuing.

Marvel is going to pass, doesn’t leave room for never ending sequels!

Rat is so cheery isn’t he?

Too legit to learn.

Good kind 103

SV is a superhero.

Just not for Mankind.

A volcano based superhero sounds pretty cool.

This seems like a cartoon Calvin’s imagination would come up with

What’s more interesting is that Geo research shows that in a million or so volcanos will emerge on the east coast.

Too much reading. Did Wyoming and Montana merge to form one state called “WellWeDon’tKnowDoWe” or some such?

Nuke it first

Sometimes people are the problem …

Mars will NEVER be an option.

I wonder if Stephan just watched the movie, “Supervolcano!”. Apparently it was pretty dismal.

The “keeping people scared of everything” industry has been all over Yellowstone.

I thought this would be good. Until I read it.

Super powerful…. I’ll give it that.

That’s why I live in a safe area of the USA—we’ve only had a few hurricanes and no more than 22 inches of rain in 24 hours, twice in the last five years.

He looks like a super spud. And I don’t think that person thanking him would even be left assembled.

Superheroes help people. Supervolcanos help Mother Nature by cleansing the vermin that are destroying her planet.

So dark… Maybe Rat should call DC.

I wouldn’t wait. In fact I’d try something else.

The arch enemy for Super Volcano must be Super Storm, quenching out his fiery lava with a return of the biblical flood!

I’m just impressed that he got the state’s correct.

I believe super-volcanoes are an unnecessary superlative. Heck, a lot of lost useless people decided swimming anywhere in Yellowstone was a good idea. Morticians, not so much.

But supervolcanoes aren’t tall and mountainous, but massive calderas.

People that close would probably be vaporized.

Perhaps a decade ago, the ELITIST FILTH of the MEDIA, being “EXPERTS ON EVERYTHING”, were almost continuing bleating about the imminent eruption of the Super Volcano under Yellowstone.The LYING, ELITIST FILTH will always find something to embellish and sensationalize, as they resort to fear-mongering to increase their readership/ratings.

You might be waiting for that call for a while, Rat…

There was a villain called Volcano Man in the Challengers of the Unknown comic, in the 60s.

There’s one thing worse than Supervolcano. Hope Stephan Pastis never farts after eating beans because that will end Life as we know it. Pig once had a twin brother when Pastis farted, and now that brother is known as Smoked Ham. :P

Oh yes, Marvel will be calling. There is the matter of copyright infringement with the Superman “S” on SuperVolcano. No publishing contract for Rat.

When there are many off topic comments on a comic site, I know for sure that russian and chinese artificial “intelligence” bots are working overtime.

Heretofore, I never thought PBS could be so educational…

Meh, superheroes ain’t what they used to be.

Who said it was a super hero?

Super villain, more like.

Maybe I WON’T move to Wyoming

Marvel will tell Rat to go to DC…they make bad movies

Have imagined “Supernumerary” as a hero name. (Actually, it means “extra”, in the showbiz sense.)

Yellowstone is behind schedule for an eruption. Have a nice day.
