Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 01, 2013

Well, Pastis heard some of your comments and this is his response to you! I think this series is funny even if it is geographically challenged! :-D

Well, Polar bears also have front legs.

Polar bear don’t care, Polar Bear eats what he wants, wherever he wants.

I learned this lesson from Gary Larson who learned it from picky readers

Where are all the Penguins coming from and don’t tell me the south pole.

Hey, this polar bear has got a good thing going! I think this is the fourth penguin he’s gobbled up so far, and they just keep on multiplying. This arc could be endless, or at least as endless as the seas….

Stephen said he doesn’t read online comments for his comic strip since he doesn’t want it to influene him.

P. B. S. = Polar Bear Sniper, One “Clomp”, One Kill (Meal)

Whats that on the telly? Its a penguin.(They don’t come from next doors – they from the Antarctic. Cue: Scott of the Antarctic.)

I think Stephan has been reading everyone’s comments.

Why do I keep seeing Rat, as Krazy Kat, beaning everyone with bricks?

Come to think of it, Pig’d make a great Offissa Pup…

Imagine, Pastis puts on his legal briefs and shows at the hoosegow as KK’s (Rat’s) lawyer trying to get him bailed.

Must be a Denier!

@kd1sq—Steph has recommended that his fans get to know Krazy Kat. Myself, I’ve called Rat “Ignatz’s great-great-great-grandnephew” more than once! As for Offissa Pup, I think Paris (a/k/a Goat) would fit quite well!And now everyone knows what the K stands for!

Climate Change people. You know…“Global Warming”? Seas rising…etc…etc..etc.. It’s ON!

Yeah, We See What Happened To The Picky Penguin! I Think I Would Rather Be One Of The Other Ones!

Maybe it’s a polar bear sock puppet (hence the lack of arms). Or a polar sea snake bear. Also, Pastis reports drawing his strips months in advance of their publication.

A surprisingly high percentage of polar bears are illiterate.

The atlas shrugged.

Mark Twain once said: Soap and education aren’t as sudden as a massacre but they are more deadly in the long run..Looks like he was right.

Wasn’t it Robert Silverberg who made the Post Office box in Schenectady comment?

If this keeps up, there will be nothing to complain about, because there really WILL be no more penguins in the Arctic.

I don’t have a problem with this arc/twist, but it does seem much the same as Zebra and the Crocs.

No, this isn’t in response to our comments. Pastis brought up the “no polar bears at the South Pole” shortly after this arc started. That strip would have been submitted well before the first in this storyline was published.

Thank you, Mr. Polar Bear! Now will you please eat all the posters who can’t stop yammering about the whole north/south thing?

How is this like the Zebras & Crocs? When has a Croc ever actually eaten a zebra?

I think Rat sold the polar bear a South Pole Vacation with complimentary dinners.

…say those with a lack of education. (btw: training is not education)

Yep, True.

LOL xxx

Oooo, Oooo Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter,

I know how the ber got down south!

The Bear was on the plane with the other guys for New York, in the original Madagascar movie. The only difference is that the bear decided to swim south for the summer instead of hang around that crazy place.

Good come back to the “smarty pants” crew Pastis. Now can we get the hell off of this iceberg. WHERE ARE THE CROCS!!!?

Thank you. It took a surprisingly long time for someone to point that out.

Must have booked a cruise to Antarctica and decided to eat local(s)

We’re arguing geography in a strip that features talking animals, a duck that wears a combat helmet and carries a rocket launcher, a pig that can somehow work a television remote without an opposable thumb? Seriously?

Who cares about geography. I left that in elementary school back 50 years ago. Its funny that is all that counts.
