Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 05, 2011

That’s not fair — plenty of people mock the Keanes. Google “Dysfunctional Family Circus” if you don’t believe me.

He’s gonna make a dotted line to a firing squad.

Oopsy doopsies – time for a fruit basket?

I know Rat doesn’t like Pastis’ pun strips, but isn’t this a bit much for revenge?

Rat’s tie was red when the trial started…now it’s yellow. Huh?

I wonder if Rat does slander suits?

You should have represented yourself, Stephan. As your court-appointed lawyer Rat doesn’t appear to have your best interests covered.

Geez, that Keane guy is one vindictive son of a

So much for an impartial jury … Maybe Rat can get a mistrial?

All these years I thought it was Bill Keane as that creator. Thought he had passed on.

Sometimes a trial by a jury of your peers is not such a good thing…

Well, Pastis used to be a lawyer. I suppose it’s appropriate that he should end up on trial!

Did you die your hair red?

Is the tie bar sinister?

LOL LOL!

I LOVE comic crossovers!

Funny—-I can hear Jimmy Cagney—-

They’d have a trial by Pastis’ peers—but where are they going to find twelve overweight and unshaven cartoonists?

Where would you find twelve that are not?

Judge: “Who just shouted that?” Keane: “NOT ME!”

Little Jeffy has a potty mouth! What kind of family would raise a kid like that?

Boy, a guy’s gone for a week and I come back and all @#%* is breaking loose. Pastis without a hat is funny enough but his mom’s comments in the witness box are a riot. Dead man walkin’.

Rat hasn’t made an error. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Bill Keane created ‘Family Circus’. Jeff Keane is his son, carrying on his work.

Actually, jury members are chosen so conflict of interest doesn’t arise. They can’t be anyone that knows Pastis or have anything to do with his case. With him being a lawyer before, I would think he would know the law.
