Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 30, 2011

Looks like he aimed at the neck.

what can be more encouraging than a little friendly fire from a well wisher

He needed that like he needs another hole in his head.

Maybe Bob needs to go to rehab…

never mind. The shot to the base of the skull with an AK should take care of everything.

^ That looks like a M16. Eather will do the job,just stand back so you don’t get messy.

Bob, you just thought you feeling down. Now how do you feel?Need some more? I got a whole clip here.

Friendly fire aint at all friendly believe me!!!

I hate ’dat duck!

Another Bob bites the dust!

Just don’t ask for a nice Hawaiian Punch.

Golly gee - a lot of expressed pleasure over shooting Bob. We here near VA Tech don’t share that joy. Get it all out this year kids, no 2013…

OK, so Guard Duck’s therapy doesn’t always work.

Give ’im a break - at least he took a shot at it.

Otto — his rifle may be recoiling, but it didn’t faze him at all.

L’il Guard Duck, with his trusty M-16A2, to the rescue, Neighbor Bob! Don’t worry, folks, it’s just a flesh wound. Of course, a 5.56 at point-blank range is going to smart a little….

This is what happens when you shoot off your mouth.

Enough with the reruns, please. Get on with the story.

in a recent survey of depressives, it was reported that those who were fatally shot were 99.9% cured of their depression.

Bob should have been shot just for wearing the turtleneck-sweater combo. Who does he think he is— Carl Sagan?

Dat bad break, Bob.

It’s just a flesh wound.

neighbor bob looks different every time he’s in a comic

Shoulda just fragged him.

“Not really… Try the other arm…”

I wonder if Guard Duck is avenging Daffy and all the other ducks that got shot in the old cartoons.

LGD always aims to please.

this is one where rat needed to hit steve.

Looks as though Bob hasn’t left us yet – still holding on to the table with one hand . . . and the star shows that he’s feeling pain. Hold on, Bob!

He shoulda just wished for a little spark to get going.

He’d get over tazer jolt a lot faster than the bullet.

Stephan must really hate some guy named Bob. LOL! ;-)

When Bob feels down, he really feels “down” (i.e., duck feathers).

hope Bob does not sing the Pat Benatar song “hit me with your best shot”

At least LGD wasn’t over the top in his aim, or neighbor Bob might have lost his head in the exchange.

Reminds me of the bad joke about the two hunters:

Two hunters are out in the woods. One of them accidentally gets shot, but it doesn’t look too serious. The other hunter takes out his mobile phone and calls 9-1-1.

.

“My friend got shot!” he cries to the operator, “What can I do?”

.

The operator, in a calm voice says: “Don’t worry. I can help. First, make sure he’s dead.”

.

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Bang!

.

The hunter’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

Stupid

being a “Bob” on this strip is akin to being a “Red Shirt” on Star Trek. I have to agree with Dr Lou above, it’s a pretty lame joke today but I do love LGD.

It’s official: Pig is stupid.

That’s not what he meant when he said, “shot in the arm,” Guard Duck.

idiot

LOLLOLLOLLOL

Bob changes so much

Ducks can be so dang literal.
