Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 12, 2011

Panel 4: How Peanuts REALLY ended …

I love the crossover strips.

In that croc’s defense, Phil Collins IS so 90s…

Good grief!

Charlie Brown’s profile wasn’t perfectly round. His forehead flattened out. See today’s strip for an example. A cartoonist who can’t draw freaking Charlie Brown’s head deserves the death penalty.

First of the croc batch left behind by cartoon-Pastis before they tossed him in the slam. And a great cross-over with Peanuts. But the phrase, Bob (?), is not “Meester Beeg Head”; it’s “that round-headed kid”!

“Meester Beeg Head” is the way crocs talk…I know, I’ve heard them. These crocs are the best part of this strip….he needs to do more of them.

Crocodiles? …Rats!

Does Zebra really think he needs a wall to protect him from the Crocs? They’ve not been able to get past his hedge for years now! Talk about dumb and dumber. . .

For all I know, he could be talking about Linus. They’re both pretty big-headed, but there’s only one “round-headed kid”.

Can Pastis be sued for crossovers?

Ahhh, we get the crock thread before Steph goes to prison.

And some characters he’s parodied were NEVER entertaining! (AAAAAACK!)

I’d like to see the Pointy Haired Boss promote Larry to Dilbert’s supervisor.

We finally got some crocs. I was starting to think they’d eaten Pastis and a talentless HACK was ghosting for him with a boring soap opera strip about a trial.

Zeebas and crocs. Ahhhh, life is good today.And I can’t wait to see what happens to da beeg head kid.I believe the crossovers can be done the way they are because of the fact that it’s parody. It’s the same way Weird Al can do stuff without direct approval, even though he seeks it anyway.

“Who Meester Beeg Head?” Croc’s, try not to get Peanuts confused the old Nicktoons series Rock’s Modern Life (1993-1997).

Can you guys play baseball??

I think that is a great way to honor Charles Schultz with the small side message along panel 1 “still missing you sparky”. I think all comic artists today still love and respect Charles “Sparky” Schultz.

LOL LOL LOL!

Stephan is in good standing with the estate of Charles Schultz. He and Craig Schultz (Charles’ son) recently co-wrote a new Peanuts special called “Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown”, that was released to DVD a few months ago.

To the Mont…he’s turned side way sooo…

I wear a size 8 hat. Does that make me Meester Beeg Head?

I wonder if Wilson is also on the other side of the wall…

After this, I might need to find a nickel and hope that the doctor is in.

@ justrightturnips (from yesterday)If you go to one of your own comments and click on your name (in blue), you will get to your home page. (You can also click “home” in the green bar across the top if you are signed in.)Then under the avatar box, click “Edit Profile”.Then (in the same place) click “Edit Avatar”.Then enter the file name of the pic you want. It has to be on your computer, AFAIK. You can also edit your info—but the first name (and maybe the last name) on your profile page is what will show up on your comments here.

Look who’s talking, Larry. You’ve got a pretty big head. Yourself. With more meanings than one.

*big head yourself.

Charlie Brown and Linus!

“Meester Beeg Head, who do ya think ya are?"

COOL!!!

How Blackadder would describe that wall: “A terrifying obstacle. About as frightening as a little rabbit with the word ‘boo’ painted on its nose.”

to destiny23:would the wall have a “binford” logo on it?

Why is Linus flipping us off?

UGH Peanuts is SO overrated!

It’s PEANUTS!!! YAY!!!
