Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 30, 2011

The good news is, you’ll be rid of him after October 21 …

Where are cartoon-Pastis and cartoon-Mama Pastis today, if not at the home studio? Dennis is bad enough when he’s normal; when he’s in an “End Is Near” cult, he’s worse! P.S. Mama Pastis, your roots need re-touching!

Now, I’m really scared.

I almost didn’t catch the dialogue in the second panel.

Now I look at it, this is exactly the kind of kid this incarnation of Dennis looks like.

Actually, the end WAS near — he walked right out of the last panel.Cartoon lives have a beginning and an end every day. Do you think they stay in character between scenes?Maybe they all hang out at a toon bar and talk about US.

Religious wackos are currently busy burning down the entire country. Please be patient, they’ll destroy your house and business just as soon as they can.

Dennis the Minister.

Well, I home the house burns before the end comes/ I wouldn’t want to miss it.

Great. Instead of being a little monster, now he’s handing out literature for some religious fantasy camp.

…I loved this week’s cross over strips……death to comic.con…

…oops,that just slipped out…I meant…great job..

At least Mr. Wilson’s getting a break this week.

no cults, I think.looks to me that Dennis is a Jehovah’s Witness…….hammering on doors on Saturday morning and pushing their literature into your face

“Repent, For The End Is Near?” That Sounds like more of a threat than actually burning down the house. It sounds like something Samuel L. Jackson would say just before he blows you away.

Shouldn’t that second panel have been drawn in a “circle”?

I wonder what Stephan’s mom really looks like? We know he isn’t as fat as he makes himself look.

LOL LOL xxx

He’s not a menace anymore!

i love this strip, discovered it only from a few days..

the frog body guard is great :-)

Dennis has been hanging out with B.C.

Well has your mother called yet Stephan?

There’s more than one way to be a menace…

Pastis is really reaching here…

am quite sure Dennis reads the Bible in cartoon form.. ;)

I just realized, Dennis talks in bubbles like all the other characters.It’s the Family Circus kids that talk under the panels
