Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 04, 2012

до свидания, Иван

If the movie is about a dog, they always die in the end…suitably sad, but also saccherine. Why are dog movies always sad?

Oh, saccherine! I thought he was talking about artificial sweetener. :)

That’s a good ending: simple and straight to the point.

Yeah, he didn’t have to see Rat use his death to spoil another movie.

MORMON: How did you get Cyrillac letters from your keyboard?

At first glance of panel 1, I thought Pastis was subtly pitching his Animated Shorts [see hotlink at right] featuring Rat and Pig. Then I saw that Rat intends to disrupt cinema audiences with his readings from Russian literature. Then I thought about artistic Karma, yin and yang, and such-like concepts. That began to get deep, until Pig’s final remarks turned it all into comedy again….

That ending was sickening sweet for that dumb Pig.

THANKS RAT…..i WAS GOING TO READ THAT , NOW YOU SPOILED THE ENDING FOR ME.

Grainbelt, he shot himself in the butt?

Unusual to hear such sarcasm from Goat.

Trust Rat…

All I can say.

LOL xxx

As Yakov Smirnoff would say, in Soviet Russia, animated movie watches you!

Chekov died of TB. Which explains the depression…it spread to his brain. I am not joking, advanced TB can do that.

They are really messed up.

Today’s lesson:My daughter taught me something I’d never realized.“Saccharin” is the name of an artifical sweetener.“Saccharine,” according to the Online Dictionary, means “1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of sugar or saccharin; sweet. 2. Having a cloyingly sweet attitude, tone, or character.” You never know when you’ll need that info. for a quiz show or writing your thesis.

I don’t know… I found “Air Bud” to be quite uplifting. :-D

So it goes.

Maybe he did that on purpose. We all know that Pig isn’t the brightest crayon in the box… If he didn’t do it on purpose, then I’m sorry that it bothers you that much.

Ivan to go throw up.

Russian plays and country songs.

lmfao

Pig’s grammar is what makes him Pig. He is naive and simple and he is adorable.

I just finished War and Peace. It didn’t have a sad ending. It didn’t have a happy ending either. Just a bunch of lectures on why historians are bunk

“Pig”……..he shot himself in the hind end ??

How about Alma by Pixar animator, Rodrigo Blaas? It’s animated, but hardly a sweet ending.

Not especially funny, but even more so considering recent events of gunfire and a movie.

or throwing herself in front of a train

TB or not TB? That is the question. Consumption be done about it?

Wow, goat. You got burned.

I’ll just tell them Svidrigailov went to America.
