Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 12, 2025

Rat’s violence makes me quake!

Shoot first and ask questions later.

Rat must have a bat collection!

Was the guy selling “No Fault” Insurance? Or “Your Fault”?!

You shifted his tectonic plates Rat!

Greg’s skull has fault lines now.

Doe he live in a Faulty Tower?

Reach for the bat when that know it all English teacher, Shakespeare scholar has it in for us. “The fault Dear Brutus is not in our stars but in our selves” Da noive of dat guy.

Greg did not deserve a response of that magnitude.

Well, there are faults and then there are faults and then there are the ones that fault us.

Excedrin headache number 5.4

It’s San Andreas Fault

Ok, what’s with the earthquake humor today with Knight Life and Pearls?

Poor Greg! He has a faultline on his skull now!

I’m really tiring of all the senseless violence (as if violence ever makes sense). I won’t be reading PBS anymore.

Steph should be hurt for that pun.

Rat has just demonstrated the Strike part of a Strike-Slip Fault.

Must be in Cali. Can’t wait for it to bust off and sink. Buncha Libtard idiots.

Too much work for one man!

Frack him. Dilly! Dilly!

Geology services from the Fed are being eliminated because they keep pointing out the faults.

We already have spouses for that.

Rat’s channeling Pig there.

Not THOSE kinds of faults!

it’s Goat’s fault… there was no need to be so detailed

He’s the salt of the Earth.

So you’re saying he needs crack?

Idiotic violence. This is supposed to be funny?

Maybe he was pointing out geological faults, Rat.

Rat took the bat to the wrong person. Shoulda gone after Pastis after another groan-worthy pun…

Hey, I REALLY hate to do this, but, RAT’S not at “fault” here: RAT’S just standing up for GOAT here; it ain’t RAT’S “fault” RAT’S so stupid…..Dan aka…ps when do ya have to carry a dictionary to understand folk around here anyways?!

Lock ‘em up in the PUN-itentary and throw away the key! ;P

“Ready! Fire! Aim!” (There’s a lot of that happening.)

Rat will silence anyone who criticizes him.

And RAT can ACTUALLY be nice to GOAT; that’s so OUT OF CHARACTER for RAT, I have to wonder about Stephan Pastis’s mental state currently, although considering Stephan talks to talking animals on a regular basis, so, maybe, it wasn’t that good to begin with, so who can tell when he’s having a psychotic break or not?! Dan aka…ps hmmm….

We flew an aeromagnetic survey over southern Africa to point out their faults. The crystalline bedrock in the area did not hold a lot of groundwater, but it would be focussed around the faults. As the location of faults based upon disruptions in the magnetic pattern is somewhat imprecise, there were probably some drillers who would like to whack me with a bat.

NOT THAT KIND OF FAULT! oh too late.

Its just Rat being Rat.

RAT doesn’t want to hear the truth ..as many don’t…it blows their conspiracy theories all to hell.

For them, my list would have to be a scroll a couple feet in diameter ( 1 ft = 0.3048 m)

Context is everything

That’s not very gneiss, Rat.

Ignorance is one of our faults.

Everyone needs to know their faults.

Else, they’ll fall into them.

Found out that the steep drop-off on my neighbors property is an ancient fault line.

But that’s no fault of mine

Who cares if Imagine never reads this again?

Gneiss

I really miss the Crocs, Zeeba neighbor, and Guard Duck. And Kitty too.

We need a better word to identify those seams wherein tectonic plates conjoin.

The “villains” started winning last November 5th.

Rat works for Musk-rat, evidently….

It’s all San Andreas fault!

The next earthquake will probably occur on a fault they don’t know about yet

my mother never missed a chance to point out all my faults. No one ever stepped up for me. Thank you Rat.

I understand this cartoon is an example of the consequences of inaccurate language (fault lines vs faults). But most of us focused on the action (violence) because we all are stressed out now.
