Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 22, 2016

Where is kryptonite when you need it?

The Council of Aliens then realized that it was ultimately they who had been sad, silly, and stupid, but were proud that they had given the curse their ancestors had placed upon them onto the humans. They just hoped that one day the humans would not retaliate by cursing them with something far worse than Rat. Justin Bieber.

Do the aliens have an exchange department?

Did they intend it as a glaring example of our sadness, silliness and stupidity?

A Sunday strip with no obnoxious pun? Who are you and what have you done with Pastis?

I call this council of humans to order, all for sending Justin Bieber to the aliens to “thank” them for Rat say aye.

Rat plagiarized me once again

Technically, they are not Alena if they are on their home planet.

He’s a Gift in the German sense of the word.

Well, that explains a lot. Rat is from another planet!

Aren’t those the aliens from Toy Story?

Rat does have the interesting ability to make a pencil stick to the side of his head rather than putting it behind his ear.

I’m with Goat ! Instead of burning chapter 2 just send Rat back :-}

If Rat is humanity’s savior, we’re all screwed.

Don’t you normally rest a pencil on the top of your ear not the bottom?

Another example of how things go horribly wrong when the “elite” try to save the sad, the silly, and the stupid from themselves.(drops mic and walks away)

Seeing the third panel, I thought it would be a strip about the election. still good though.

Talk about narcissism. Rat is right about one thing though; we are a sad, silly and stupid race. You just got to watch the news every day to realize that.

Thanks, Alien council, we are so much better off, some of us are now happy, serious and smart. Some of the other commentators here don’t appreciate your thoughtfulness, but I do.

Rat is a Thern??

And that makes him not sad, not stupid, and not silly?

Suddenly everything makes sense.

Looks like Rat fails the Pencil Test.

Now don’t go insulting Egrayj by implying that he can’t sing better than Justin Bieber. A tone deaf 5 year old sings better than Justin Bieber.

And then they sent me to do a human cull.

Now you know why we destroy aliens
