Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 19, 2020

For now someone is trying to ban seriousness .

Ironically, the government is probably actually banning orgies.

Buy gold. Start a rumor that causes everyone else to buy gold. When the price goes up, sell gold.

Rat’s been recruited into QAnon?

After canolis, what’s next? Whole-wheat bread? Maybe tater tots? Or how about Brussels sprouts?

The government is one of the reasons we drink in the first place tho.

FREE CANNOLIS!!!

Leave the beer, take the cannolis.

That, in a nutshell is, why we need government. We need someone to blame.

Cannolis and beer? Oh my, Rat.

next thing you know, they’ll be banning cannabis…

Ironically, the people who complain the most about the government understand the least about the concept “Government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

Here they quickly lifted the ban on liquor stores!

Rat is following the example of Gov. Newsom.

Ignore the safety warnings that only apply to the average citizen suckers. Drink, Eat, Be Merry with a more than three close family or friends in a small space.

Haven’t they discovered cannolis on Mars? How did the Italians get there before us?

You sure “patriotism” is the word you’re looking for there?

Rat is truly well infoamed. He understands the full pitcher.

Grr…nope, not in Europe. A certain duck would be very unhappy here.

" … I like to couch my bad habits as patriotism."

Sounds like Rat must’ve worked for the Bush administration.

I hope Rat does not drink beer out of a straw (illegal in some places like Oregon).

How is it patriotism to disobey government rules?

Only in America could “patriotism” be defined as “disobeying the government.”

Gosh, has anybody ever noticed how smart Rat actually is? It’s kinda creepy.

But guns are okay, apparently.

The funny thing is that they think “patriotism” means “refusing to help when the country is having a crisis.”

Mamma Mia! NOT the cannolis……

Goat, Ham, and kegger!

At first glance I misread cannolis as cannabis….

Rat will take care of it, I’m sure….

“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” Samuel Johnson, 1774.

Rat must be getting his news from FOX, or should that be NewsMax now?

Isn’t Pig in space right now?

No that’s the constitution, read it before the democratics destroy it 5

So many people who think they know it all. Read something from “the other side”. Spouting nonsense doesn’t make anyone think anything except “this person doesn’t know as much as they think they do.”

Tell Rat the government banned masks!

You can have my Cannoli when you pry it from my cold dead hands , dammit !

Not banning beer or cannolis, just shredded cheese. They want to “Make America Grate Again!”

Luckily, cannabis and hallucinogens are perfectly legal.

A lovely swipe at people who refuse to wear masks.

Some political office holders and their supporters think burning down buildings, looting, vandalism, assaulting Police Officers and other innocents is Patriotic. Go figure. Drink your beer and God Bless you and the United States of America…..

whats pig doing here? i just saw him in space with the pigonians on brewster rocket

Equate mask wearing with motorcycle helmets, they were once required here, now they are not and I hardly see anyone wearing one, but masks are for everyone’s protection, crack up your bike, you hurt yourself, don’t wear a mask, and hurt others, Dig it?

When all the canolis people living in the world agree there will be an answer; let it be.

The government tried banning beer once. Didn’t result in the claims those who wanted beer and other alcoholic beverages banned had made. In fact, had the opposite effect.

NEVER!! Not cannolis!

Actually they have cut back on the amount of beer you should drink and they are going to start making bars keep track of your drinking. You would think they would have better things to do.

There is not such a fine line between patriotism and boneheadedness. And it is very clear which side Rat is on.

Love the godfather reference. Also, please don’t think you’re doing something good by trying to limit guns. Imagine how much more corrupt a government can be without the fear of an armed rebellion (look at Canada, UK, etc for examples of corruption and sheer foolishness)

The folly of thinking anything can be banned after unfettered ownership for 200 years. A excuse to criminalize a lifestyle, just Who will take the job of “buying back” 400,000,000 weapons ? Tilting into Windmills is a new Democrat platform apparently.

It says Cannolis; I read it Cannabis
