Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 12, 2012

ROTFL!

Very awkward.

awkward indeed

I don’t know about youse guys, but I think it’s awkward.

Is death really such a pushover?

Wow, he’s playing both sides of an issue just like a pro. And here he thought he wasn’t very political!

Why not? If the president can do it….

Well, look at it this way, Death will have the Last word with those two, … eventually.

Death. Be not proud. If there was no life, you’d be out of a gig.

Let the raging begin…

Cute. Wonder if Death watches TV— Pushing Up Daisies (now dead); Dead Like Me (now apparently dead): Reaper (now mostly dead). If so, he may need to (ahem) Get A Life!BTW, those are all shows I liked….

You’ve made a small mistake. Mainly 9 months of invetro. That’s an extra 388800 minutes or so.

Death becomes less threatening with each passing strip.

I’m feeling awkward, is anyone else feeling awkward?

He looks like Death warmed over.

Now there’s an image you won’t see in Hi and Lois.

Of course, sometimes being Pro-Life ends up in Death anyway [especially if you’re an Abortionist caught by an Abortion Clinic Bomber] so it all works out. But when you get right down to it, Death IS Pro-Life. If nothing died how long do you think it would be before this planet was completely unlivable?Maybe if they had the T-Shirt in Gray or Black it would clash less with his robe? That would make it less awkward.

I love the character of Death. He’s actually pretty cool.

So . . death is a gocomic’s PRO . . . life . . . ☻

…now,that’s a doozie…

Has Death been watching Pig this week?

Too perfect!

One scythe fits all?

thats EXPERT life…………..jkjk y would they talk to him?

Conflicted

No matter which side of the debate you are on, this is just pain funny!

Certain things seem certain: Death, Taxes, Crab Grass, Cockroaches, and Pastis.

Awkward? I see why.

But some of us LIKE making idiot political/moral statements about the comics we read. That’s HOW we enjoy the comic for JUST being a comic.

This strip will be the DEATH of me!

xxx

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decided NOT to print this strip and printed one from 2007.

This makes up for all the stupid pun strips. Well done, Stephan!

I seriously enjoyed this very funny strip today.

Now Death the Kid will shun him for being asymmetrical XD

Death flip-floped.

Actually, it’s not that awkward. Pro-lifers are only pro-fetus. When it’s born, it’s fair game; pro-lifers are notoriously pro-execution and pro-gun. So the shirt actually works pretty well.

Loved it! The ongoing ironies in the one frame point up the paradox that so called “pro-lifers” are not really pro-life at all. Most love the death penalty, carry concealed weapons, hae threatening slogans (ie. We don’t call 911), and revel at violent sports. In this strip, the whiners (so appropriate) even coerce death to support their fictional point of view! ROFL

I agree, though: death is not political. Death is inevitable, and doesn’t care about the laws or what party you belong to.

Is this a Vision of Death, or a Death of a Vision?

haha

Stephan, Stephan…you have such a lovely warped mind!

Why wouldn’t Death be pro-life, without it, he would be out of a job.

You know, “Pro” has more than one meaning. Maybe the shirt doesn’t mean “Anti-choice,” but “Live like a prostitute.”

this gets my vote for comic of the day

Look, the sammysuckers of the world have to make things up, rather than debate the issues, because in reality Obama is a centrist by ALL definitions…1994, Newt Ginrich: We will never win on our arguments, We have to attack their character and humanity. And it’s been that way ever since. I haven’t heard one damn thing that was even remotely true about Obama from ANY republican. Would it be wrong to call them rat finks? Who cares? You Rat Finks! ♫ ♪ ♫ "Instant Karma Gonna Get You.. "♪♫ ♪♫….

Not as awkward as two middle-aged white guys trying to tell women what to do with their bodies!

Up next we’ll see Death having to give up his scythe for a bunch of balloons of some cutsie cartoon character

I remember when his family moved in to their neighborhood a few years ago

No, Death! Don’t wear that! Ugh.
