Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 09, 2013

Confucius says: Fish that live in glass house should not throw axes!

Perhaps dumpster diving might amuse him.

A few inches lower and it would be just deserts for Rat.

Ed Ames on Carson?

Bored with. Tired of, bored with. It would be nice if native speakers studied their own language. I did but then words are my job.

that could really turn out to be a pain in the ax……

Gomer Goldfish has joined the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Off-camera and all that; but, how’d Gomer do that? Single-finned throw? Two-finned overhead?

Panel 2 : Surprise, surprise, surprise! Gomer Pyle

Gomer’s been spending too much time with LGD & Mr. Snuffles as of late.

Hilarious – laugh out loud.

Now how did ole Gomer throw that ax??

@says j-birds3 UNDERHANDED!!

@those who cited Ed Ames—Please introduce me to someone who thinks that routine wasn’t planned…I have ocean front property in the Dakotas I wanna sell them!

Check out the underworld via the toilet bowl…just don’t lookup!

If he’s bored OF swimming maybe he’ll get tired ABOUT throwing the axe.

Get the robbing crew together. That goldfish is ready to menace some bank lobbies now.

I used to wonder if fish got bored swimming around in circles, but then I saw this cartoon, which kinda explains it: Shermans Lagoon Sunday 4/7/13

Nice Rat: you think right.

Teach a man to fish, he eats for a day. Teach a fish to man, he eats for a little while longer.

It all seems fishy to me!

Maybe Gomer could finish off Pig’s sea anemone enemies once and for all.

The internet is altering English at a tremendous rate, and not always for the better. This process of change is accelerated by the shallow teaching of English in the schools. When, as a result of ignorance or wit, a nonstandard usage such as “bored of” is duplicated on sites, its constant repetition makes it familiar. In time, familiarity paves the way for acceptance. But “bored of” certainly grates on the ear.

Just don’t start throwing cricket bats, Gomer.

Rat wouldn’t be happy.

LOL xxx

He has a good throwing arm….er, fin.

Just a few inches more and Pearls would have needed a new villian. The force is with you Rat.

I know I keep saying this, BUT WHERE ARE THE CROCS?
