Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 28, 2003

completely pointless

more commemorative, I’m thinking.

Best Comic Strip Ever.

Here it is January 2012 and I’m reading this. Thanks Pastis.

Pointless, stupid, unfunny, controversial, and lovable. Thanks Pastis

I believe this was just Made to remember them…

And now, relevant again. Less abstract when it’s closer to home.

This was touching and I couldn’t help but cry eleven years after the fact.

Wait, what’s the joke here?

All the more meaning after the attacks in Paris.

Another controversial strip.

When this was printed in our local fishwrapper, I wrote to thank Stephan. He actually wrote back to ask me to thank the paper for carrying it, which of course I did. I assumed he had gotten some blowback for it.

Thank you, Stephan Pastis.

:,‘,’| wow hit me rigt there im cryin’

And the same story could be told about Palestinian kids

.

this means so much to me id never wan’t to lose my brother or sister

Stupid gocomics won’t let me favorite the best pearls strip.

The point of this strip is to show that what happens on the news happens to real people. Also, no matter what you think, this strip is sad and I want to cry now.

Heart breaking

Well commemorated.

this strip really makes you think about the people who died, had lives and happy families

Read this one. No problem. Read it to a friend and I had trouble not crying.

Methinks this is a strip that will sadly remain timeless.

If only the news was reported like this, terrorism might end.

Twenty years later. Still sad.

Sadly relevant 20 years later
