Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 21, 2020

I would like to think that Rat is responding to Goat’s sarcasm with his own sarcasm, but I know I’m wrong.

Vote for Goat—send Paris to the White House!

Vote Cthulhu 2020! We’ve chosen the lesser evil for too long!

It’s best to do your crying in the rain, so no one can tell you’ve been crying.

VOTE for PIG, 2020! A candidate who knows true PORK spending.

Goat never would have survived the old West! Or the West Virginia hills.

We are the victims of our own success.

Goat, just go digital. No more weeping into the stop bath.

Better light a small candle than cry in the dark.

Look up ‘Gish Gallop’ and look which side invented it.

‘It takes two people to have a discussion, but only one person to start a fight.’

Trust me, you are not alone in your crying, Goat.

Yeah, I’m in that crying room too. People on political sites are NASTY if you don’t agree with them. And I believe that some of those nasty people are Russian trolls.

Obsolete Joke: [Photographer to Model] Why don’t you join me in the dark room and we’ll see what develops?

Eh.

It has improved since the Brooks-Sumner caning incident.

If only we could return to the dignified approach to politics exemplified by the election rhetoric of the supporters of Founding Fathers like John Adam’s and Thomas Jefferson.

Oh wait…

Sorry Goat no can do ;-) … Croc Power !

With any luck, both the ruling parties will annihilate one another, leaving behind humans who can rebuild democracy from the grassroots up.

Goat and his crying closet. Solves everything, don’t it Goat?

Sarcasm is the darkest of all….. (fill in the blank)

May the righteous prevail and the sinister be shunned.

That’s me on my last break at work. I sit in a dark room,with my eyes closed. I work in telemarketing.

Idle minds are a devils workshop!

Among Rat’s other endearing qualities, he is tone-deaf to irony, Goat. Don’t waste your time (the same applies to following Flame Wars; even Star Wars is more worth your time)…

Can’t we all just get along?

Rat and Goat agreeing? What is this world coming to?

“I will insult you ’til I convince you!!” – Stephan Pastis.

If it is done by all, it lessens the responsibility of doing something about it. Isn’t that so Republicans?

Hit the nail right on the head today

Dick Chaney is rested and ready.

In the worlds of Charlie Brown from “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?

Fight with facts? Hell no, attack!

Goat’s most wise answer to anything lies in this strip.

While I understand the sentiment, to just dismiss the current political situation by essentially saying, “Ah, they’re all the same and equally to blame” is to normalize a very dangerous moment in our country’s history. They’re not “all the same”. Not right now.

Hey Stefan. Any chance this strip can return to humor?

A worldwide pandemic, and this is how America the Great, land of the free, home of the brave, behaves. It’s beyond shameful. This election, I’m voting Kodos!

Civil discourse is imaginary. Like Santa Claus. And Canada.

ヽ༼ಥل͟ಥ༽¤=[]:::::> I will just be waiting here for you with a sword!!!

I for one will be happy when the moron in chief is gone.

Can we cry together, Goat? Maybe a hug afterwards?

Divide and conquer was never so much fun.

’Who’s the bigger fool; the fool, or the one who follows him?’ -Obi Wan Kenobi.

I’d be shocked if Pelosi and Trump said: “Why don’t we put differences aside and work together for the GOOD OF THE PEOPLE during the pandemic!“

It makes some people feel better about themselves to put others down. Think about it.
