Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 26, 2011

Love him!

That’s a shade cold blooded

RF — probably a shade slow, as well.

Say, how long till he reaches his vanishing point?

I know that last line fell kinda flat….

Maybe the tortoise could help put it into perspective.

Huh? The acronym would be S.T.O.P.

The tortoise shell overcome all problems.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.

Every morning is a good morning when you can wake up.− Lawrence Sanders

“Hooray, I’m not pushing daisies!”

Every day is a bad hair day for me but at least I have most of my hair.

“The Spectral Tortoise O’ Perspective?!?!?!”I’m confused also . . . anyone?

Please don’t stop with the S.T.O.P.! Keep him coming! If we follow his wisdom, he will have tortoise a valuable lesson.

At my age, the best part of waking up….is waking up…

Shell solves problems unless left in road…so it depends.

STOP – not to be confused with the Grouchy Tortoise O’Pessimism from Little Dog Lost . . . . ☻

the ghost of christmas yet to come?

Why do I get the feeling the STOP met his demise in a bowl of turtle soup?

Hey, a new name I could use with my avatar! :)

How uplifting.

The spectral tortoise o.p. needs to come out of his shell more.

Stephan’s been reading Oglaf…

Ok, finally, a new character that I’m gonna enjoy.

I think it’s Guard Duck incognito. Can you see the wire?

Stephan, lay off the cough syrup, dude. Seriously.

Now that the S.T.O.P. is here, maybe people will stop calling on the Spectral Hare Inviting Trouble.

I get the feeling that’s his answer to everything.

How is that supposed to help? Sure things could be worse, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t already bad!Plus, if he were dead, he wouldn’t be experiencing anything bad.

I use the I Ching a lot. Anybody else out there?

mirrors my favorite thought… “It could be worse – might be yet.”

That lifts my spirits!! haha

If I’m dyin’ I’m lyin’; any day above ground is a good day.

LOL!

Charmy says, "Turtles are always so wise… and Stephan is always so “deep”… knee deep most of the time!!!!!"

Bwa ha ha ha!!!!!!!!

i like the comic

There are those who would say that in Rat’s case, being dead would be an improvement. Pig seems to be surprisingly familiar with the Spectral Tortoise O’ Perspective, considering that it’s a new guy here at PBS; have Pig and STOP been hanging together somewhere else?

Rf — Thanks — I’d figured it would be too obscure. :)

And Yatman…. Booooooo…. I mean yaaaaay….. (for “tortoise a lesson.”)
