Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 22, 2012

… what? what’s yer problem? …… maybe she’s not a beautiful princess …

Wallets for everyone!

Poor Larry. If there is a way to turn victory into defeat, he has cornered the market in it.

That is a rather well drawn Prince Valiant.

okay, Pastis, who drew Prince Valiant for you?

Anybody else think Prince Val has a better “do” than Patty?

Ever wonder about that brain of yours, Steph?

on the whole, i’d rather drive a valiant…

Not exactly the ending to the series I was hoping for. But me thinks Larry and Bob best hope Valiant’s belt falls down around his ankles if they are to have any chance of escaping his wrath. That or kiss his frog family and break the curse placed on them as well.

Guess I can be happy it didn’t turn to Prince and start singing Purple Rain…

Okay, CUT! Everybody, take five. Uh, Bob? This is where you stand in for Larry. Val? Got “the Singing Sword” all sharpened and polished? … Okay, places, everyone. And—ACTION!And another Bob bites the dust….

If this ends with eradication of the crocs, it’s fine with me.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

when I was a “tween”, I would have been thrilled. I had a secret crush on prince Valiant around 1971.

beeeeeg probbum

There’s talk that the crocs were considered dragons by folks of yore.

Oooops!

LOL LOL xxx

Okay, who colored Prince Valiant? I’m the guy who colors that strip, and I’m telling’ ya- that’s inaccurate. Don’t print those t-shirts ‘til it’s fixed!!

Do Guard Duck or Vito the Guard Frog know where you live or something?

I was hoping Larry would turn into a princess.

Gator etouffee is delicious!

We all know Pastis can’t draw. That prince is just a cut & paste.

For all you pun-lovers: not a bad one at “Frank and Ernest” today: http://news.yahoo.com/comics/frank-and-ernest-slideshow/Or maybe I should say “a bad one.”

Prince Valiant looks likes a man in 20s flapper drag.

Princess! not prince’s . . . ☻

I wonder if Junior and Prince Valiant are still going to hang out together… That’d be weird to be around your friend, whom your father kissed, and is now a dragon-slaying prince… I wonder what they’d talk about?

Wonder what Aleta is doing, with Val so busy with croc fillets.

HA! Awesome concept.

Okay, didn’t see THAT comin’. Good one.

Gawd I love the crocs! Go Larry Go Bob!! lmaooooooo

now croc needs a dra-gun

bootiful artwork and goo ideuh

Hey Crocs, King Features legal department on Line 3.

Wait,the crocs were right?!!

Methinks Val should lay on strongly about him…thanks, Pastis. And “wallets for everyone” was genius. THAT’S a winning Presidential slogan for sure…

…and the rest of the Frog Family?

YOU MUST ADMIT, BOB WAS RIGHT!!!

Oh I love this one!

Oh my gawd! I was going through my grandmother’s attic a few years ago when I saw some Prince Valient comics. They were awesome, even though they were really old. I think Stephen bringing Prince Valient back to fight the crocs is great!P.S.- What will Junior say when he finds out what happened?

I hate to say it, but we should have seen this coming…….

At least he didn’t turn into The Incredible Hulk!

He could have turned into one of those Disney princesses. :-P

The prince part isn’t the problem, silly people. The problem is that he thinks the crocs are ugly dragons to slay. Run, crocs, run!

I see a little red corvette coming in the next panel.

Prince Valiant, unfortunately, runs in my local newspaper, on Sundays, however, no one that I know even reads one panel of the stupid strip, I say, boot it out and bring back F-Minus

Nice old school reference. I bet most people under 50 would have to look up who Prince Valiant is… I know I had to.
