Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 27, 2011

I see where Stephan (and by extension, Rat) gets it from …

A mom,cigarettes,guns and beer. the only thing missing is a trailer park, and we got us a hit country song.

Pigeons (all birds) only do an all-in-one….they have only one orifice and it comes out a mixed relationship.

That’s a big gun Mama Pastis is packin’—.44 Magnum? Not just for pigeon-plunking!

Is Stephan’s mother a midget that she has to stand on a crate to reach the window? And am I allowed to say “midget” here?

Dirty Hariette is about to make his day.

Kreole, that sort of comment will get you shot in the face…Momma Pastis, I fear, doesn’t take nit-picking very well, though you are absolutely correct.

Below the window is a key hole and door knob. So, are we raising a window that is part of the door or is the door part of the window.

The woman 2 doors down from me shoots at squirrels. Guy next door shoots at snakes. I just shoot off my mouth. They pretty much consider me the odd one. . ..

Mama Pastis is the epitome of the BATF.

Yum, don’t ya’ll just love Momma’s Beer Battered ‘Chicken’?@ODDBAAL Oh, sorry, ya Dog was in the Pickup truck when it was hit by that D ▆▆▆▆ old Train.

omg. I just realized….if I were a cartoon mom, I’d be Stephan’s mother.

Needs more work. Not quite gentle enough for children.

Tch Tch! Does she always swear?

LOL! xxx

somehow, the pigeons may end up at war with Mrs. Pastis. Look what happened with the gophers.

When are people going to realize that the swearing grandma just isn’t funny? It’s been played.

it’s VERY funny—- go read family circus, featuring the adventures of Billy , Dolly and their dotted lines for your entertainment.amazing that not everybody thinks like you, isn’t it?

with all due respect to you, of course

Hope she doesn’t mistake LGD for a pigeon—————lead would fly in both directions——-Somebody warn Bob!!……………….☻

It’s obvious that she’s not a midget. The cigarettes have stunted her growth. She might have shot shells in the .44 or it could be one of thos Taurus revolvers that shoot .410 shells.

um. this strip is starting get a little tedious. let’s get back to Pigs in Space, or something.

I never pegged the Pastis family for plaid-pants kinda people…

Trying to come up with a strip that’s both funny and “acceptable” can be a real crap shoot. =rimshot=

She is the best mother EVER

I think this was a movie with Sly Stallone and Estelle Getty. Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot

My mom tries to rescue the pigeons from the cats!

There’s no such thing. Only varying degrees of disfunctionality.

I still think it’s funny……

They put the “fun” in Dysfunctional! : )

Dude your mom rocks.

looks like a Ruger Redhawk. Mom’s got good taste in guns. The the only thing Pastis has ever drawn well. And, she must be a heck of a shot shootin’ birds with a hand gun! Annie Oakley.

She’s getting there.

Does everyone understand what “totally said” means? Because there are 4 characters, 3 or fewer would be partially said? I don’t parse this .

watch yo mouth woman

Lol! This would be a great one for RingTales to animate.

I’d be wary of any baked goods from this woman.

wow…. he probably had a GREAT childhood…

I hope he told his mom about all of the mom strips ahead of time

mom is rat v.2

PBS were way better earlier…
