Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 14, 2011
Transcript:
"The sheep were angry. Angry about their old barn. Angry about their bad food. Angry about getting sheared. 'Let's band together and tell Farmer Bob how we feel,' said Stevie Sheep. 'For together we are strong.' So all the sheep marched together to see Farmer Bob. 'What the #%&# do you want?' asked Farmer Bob, holding out the biggest pair of shears any of the sheep had ever seen. 'Me and my united sheep brothers wish to present you with some demands,' said Stevie Sheep. 'What sheep brothers?' asked Farmer Bob. Stevie Sheep was sheared like he was never sheared before." Goat: This is your 'Guide to Being a Team Player'?! Rat: "So remember, kids, never be the one to speak up." Pig: I am not saying a word.

Somehow, it makes me think of George Orwell’s Animal Farm

Stevie must have “undied”. Check out the strip from May 29.

Swearing AND nudity?! I guess they abandoned the “family strip” idea!!

Sheep have long noses too…………..must be the DNA in the comic strip.

Hoorah for Sunday zoom!
Now if Stevie were a more literate sheep, and had said in panel 6 “My united sheep brothers and I…,” he might have had a chance to notice their lack of solidarity and run, escaping that shearing that has left him with at least two bandaged wounds….

Stevie Sheep got fleeced like never before, and Rat is fleecing the kids as per usual.

It is sad how many times it seems to happen in real life.

In retrospect, Stevie Sheep should have employed Danny Donkey to give Farmer Bob a swift kick in his overalls.

Good advice Pig! The one who speaks up is the one who always gets burned (or sheared in this case).It would have been even funnier if Pastis colored Stevie black.

enjoy the strip, but please use correct grammar. “Me and my united…”; no, it should be: “My united …and I…”
Thanks, Chucklman

Shouldn’t have expected sheep to stand up, their lambs running from the slaughter.You want to be an individual, be a lemming.

Stevie’s reaction to this turn of events: “Baa, humbug.”

Sometimes I worry that if I speak up in a group, I’ll be embarrassed for doing so.
