Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 05, 2012

Larry learned his adjustment skills from the Faux News Channel; if you pretend it isn’t there, it isn’t there.

Freddy is a people pleaser. Good to know for the future.

I know I’ve already made references to New Zoo Revue, but I just have to share this infamous outtake with you all.

Freddy, I’d be real happy that he can’t see you if I were you.

bravely putting off the inevitable. stalwart behavior

larry is kind of weird…me love heem doe :D

Larry can’t stand the truth! Well, Freddy is a good guy, so I expect he’ll forgive the speciesist croc….

Fox news ROCKS!!!

Faux News-Perfect, will have to pass this one on. People who watch that channel don’t want the news, they just want to listen to their beliefs.

..do I hear frog applause?…

I’m surprised he didn’t just put his head in the sand.

Ribbit.

No I didn’t and no he hasn’t.

Why doesn’t Larry just eat Freddy?

Me like Freddy, taste like chickin…

Bush vetoed every Democratic initiative. Republicans in the senate filibustered every bill. Dems never had more than 58 votes in the senate. Because of republicans, all bills need 60 senate votes to be sent to the floor for a vote…Get you facts straight and you could save yourself a lot of time typing…When I hear conservatives speak I understand what it must have been like to be in Germany in the 30’s….Is it happening here? We are dealing with people who won’t compromise and hate their fellow Americans…You tell me…

what the h3ll did this strip have to do with politics give it a rest once in a while people or go over to the political section and spout your garbage there

The single issue voters come from all sides – How about all the voters in the “moral majority” who voted RR in because their preacher or a tv evangelist told them that RR was for Jesus – when he listened to Nancy and astrology?

I am constantly amazed at the demonstrated liberal immaturity on this strip, just like Larry. Folks just can’t help themselves in trying to sound or act bigger than they really are by constantly trying to tear others down, even through their peurile and petulant swipes through a surrogate, Fox.

Do your egos feel better?

I used to watch CNN but I found that it was extremely biased towards liberals, keep in mind I am a independent I don’t like either party very much.

However I do find that Faux news tends to report on things that CNN wouldn’t touch and things that CNN would, seems interesting that people say they are biased when CNN seems more so.

Lewis Black is correct. We need a new way to elect the President and he has it right.

Leave the politics to the editorial cartoons, people. Sheesh.Cute ’toon Pastis.

It’s interesting how Fox News has become such a loaded symbol for good and evil in conveying information. Everything attributed to it, one way or another, is nothing more than a reflection of a hard-wired human tendency — of conservatives, liberals, conspiracy theorists, and you and me — to find confirmation of what they believed before in everything they hear, and to reject anything to the contrary with mindless anger. You think not? Google “confirmation bias”, and find yourself looking into a mirror..Bottom line, Fox News is “fair and balanced” to you if what they say strokes your personal prejudices — and Pure Evil if it doesn’t. Their slogan is shamelessly disingenuous, but they’re no less fair and balanced than any other source of news…they all have an editorial agenda. The responsibility is ours to quit whining about it, listen to everyone, and think for ourselves.

Poor little Freddy…

He’s soooo cute!

A propos of not much here, Nicholas Kristof wrote a chilling article about how Sudan is starving its children. I think most of us can agree that this shouldn’t be happening. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/03/opinion/sunday/kristof-starving-its-own-children.html Kind of makes the Kardashian news flashes seem that much less significant . . . . .

“… shutter…” – really? I wonder what that looks like.

Election years bring out personalities, for certain. I, for one, do not believe any of the news as truth. I have studied & worked with/alongside journalists and the motto has been: ‘we won’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.’

Ok – he adjusted to the fact there’s a slimy, wart-skinned, ribbit maker living next door. But why does he have to talk to it? Is there no personal freedom any more?

How Bill-O wins a debate:Call your opponent a pinhead and tell him to SHUT UP.

‘Pearls Before Swine’ is almost always very non-political, so why are some of you trying to make this about something that it is not? All you seem to be doing is proving that you are decendants of German Shepards that screw the sheep.

Poor Larry. First a tasty (but out-of-reach) zebra moves in, then a loathsome amphibian. How about some sympathy for the poor, dim croc?

Any truth to the rumor that Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski are planning to buy the house next door to Larry’s?

The unions in America are the reason this country is failing. When the state budget is exhausted and the unions go on strike for higher wages and refuse to give one inch on health care or benefits it will collapse into itself. PERS is a bloated misappropriated financial scam on the tax payers. When union employees are paid $40+ per hour (benefits included) no one making $12 – $20 per hour can purchase their products…see Detroit’s wasteland as example. The unions were good when first established to control child labor laws and give a worker a fair shake but the Jimmy Hoffa’s of the union world destroyed that a long time ago.

Now I’m P.O’d.Richard Russell do you really think Obama’s One World Socialist government is going to be the answer for the world’s problems? We are so weak now; the Chinese and Putin’s Communists are laughing their collective butts off as they take us over through our own financial & political systems. America can never turn this mess around from the point we’re at now, it’s gone too far. We can only hope and pray (as long as the atheists allow it) that our own sovereignty will still exist in 50 years. The ACLU has successfully removed any sign of God from schools, the military, public buildings, it’s only a matter of time before they make the Christian church’s remove the crosses from their steeples because they offend some dimwit. There will be a revolution in this country and ya’ll better start praying real hard for our survival in this screwed up world. I read Fox, CNN, Reuters and the local newspaper everyday to make my own decisions. There is a definite slant to the right on FOX and even bigger slant to the left on CNN. All the networks are so leftwing it’s become a joke. If you watch the images they show for any news story it preys on the weak minds glued to the TV so they actually believe what they’re shown at 6pm every night. I’m done. I hate using this forum for political rants but I can’t stand by quietly this long without defending my beliefs while others spout their rhetoric. No offense to you personally or anyone else on this site, I just wish it could remain non-political.

To my fellow cartoon enthusiasts: Next time the comments descend into irrelevant areas such as politics let us all flag each of these time-wasting and space-wasting folks who mistake this forum for a pulpit.

Why don’t you all just shut up?

I see reason prevailed in Wisconsin and you get Governor Walker for at least the remainder of his term. Your out-of-town money and hired guns (including the bar band singer who pretends to be my governor) could put blinkers on the electorate’s eyes. Guess you’ll have to go back to classic union thuggery to try to ram your way down the taxpayers’ throats. Good luck with that, eh?

I guess Larry wasn’t ready for Freddy.
