Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 14, 2014

If I spend all my time watching your drone, and my drone gets irritated at your drone, they can fight it out and I’ll go drink beer.

Rat is a typical politician — droning on and on.

I’m definitely NOT voting for Rat, either

I’m not worried! I never do anything wrong! Really, Big Brother, never!

A Drone for a Drone will leave the whole world Kaboom’ed.

Someone already voted for that kind of president…..

See? Now Pig is into the proper subservient spirit for Rat’s New Style Drone-ocracy! Vote for Rat, all ye who want to grovel!

Most politicos buy as many of the drones as they can BEFORE the election. That’s usually how they get to BE politicos.

Drone on, drone on, Harvest Moon, up in the sky…

Will Crocs get drones could use on zeb-ra !

It is the responsibility of every citizen in our Utopian Society to be the police informant for every other. But we do not arm our drones. Only the trusted police will be armed, and are to be called in for a tactical strike when somebody speaks ill of the Glorious Leadership or does something that would displease them.What could possibly go wrong?

Gun control means being able to hit your own drone.

Chk-Chk Pull!

Nabuquduriuzhur: Actually this is not life, just a comic strip.

A drone for each person means one for Rat!Hack it & boom -ratatouille

I have a feeling this may come true, or something very close.

Shouldn’t there be three drones in that dinner scene?

oh man handsomebob beat me by a minute

We are actually heading, slowly, in that direction.

Rat 2016, I like the sound of that.

How about a write-in campaign for Steph?!?

Don’t we have a Rat in the White House all ready plus the congress and the senate and every other branch of the government.

that sounds like it could be one very large remote controller.

Pretty solid encapsulation of a couple recent Presidents, actually…

Being spied on 24/7? That’s already happening.

Pig will be the only being left alive!

CCTV, drones, NSA spying, then we see who the Government wants to eliminate; not bombs, but illegal lawsuits on specific groups, IRS targeting certain groups, EPA denying access to funds/research to certain groups, DoJ only prosecuting certain groups, taking money from one good and putting it into a social engineering plan and lying to taxpayers about it…..

Obviously, this is fiction. Rat won’t be 35 years old in 2016, which is Constitutionally the minimum age for the President.

BTW, don’t forget that data center in Utah. They ain’t storing cookie recipes.

Well Rat would definitely NOT get my vote!

xxx

Did George Orwell help with today’s strip?

There are, by maybe 0.1% to 1% more or so. But that’s the 0.1% that controls these things for the rest of us, is it not?

What if this is already happening, just not with drones?

Ah, finally, there’s the earth-shattering kaboom.

Hey! You pinched my plan without crediting me! Actually your version is somewhat different so OK. I have determined that the earth can only handle 1 billion humans so 6 billion must go. Terrorists, rapists and such are easy but I’m afraid that 6th billion might mean “deleting” people with noisy vehicles and people who annoy me in traffic. Of course I’d control who goes and who stays.

Rat controls the drones.

Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I would vote for him. The US is pretty much already like this anyway.

Libertarians like me take HUGE offense! I vote against Rat!

Also, isn’t that an inexact number, and if it was exact, how would he keep an eye on the people who work in the white house? And he would have to do 6,999,999,999 drones, because of himself.

Dare I ask how Rat plans to afford that many drones?

I think rat would’ve made a better president
