Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 13, 2013

OK, let Scottie go to Times Square, while the Cat settles in.

Scottie is certainly not a token of appreciation.

" But Angus knew, and the cat knew that Angus knew, that Angus was glad the cat came back."

Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show, one piece under consideration was a Robot. How does a Cat beat Robot? I even like cats enough to share a house with two, but still, you coulda had a robot !!!!

Just give Scottie some dilithium crystals…

Where’s the top hat?

These are the designs from which fans were asked to choose a new token.

Took me a while to recognise that the rear one is a helicopter…I think.The artwork is NOT what it used to be.

This was the current set…not as detailed as what we had in my hand-me-down childhood set….And I’m sure we had a cannon, not a wheelbarrow…

I absolutely despise the game of Monopoly! I could care less which token they replace of with what.

at what point does it become a problem when people get too many cats or too many dogs? more than 5? more than 20? more than 50?

There a cat in the kittle at the PeKing moom I think I will quit going there at noon

I’d of picked the guitar

I love Thimble’s expression in the 3rd frame. I hope he’s a recurring character.

how else are we supposed to create a consumer sense in our young minds if we dont have monopoly

This is very cute!

I agree with people who say the cat token is weak. They should have gone with something more Depression Era -ish. Maybe a ‘dust bowl’ token.

I’d watch it, Scottie, or they may just replace YOU wuth a roll of paper towels…

I never really liked the game myself, probably because I could never win, and it was frustrating watching myself slowly go down the tube. I enjoy the electronic versions more, not sure if it’s because I don’t have human opponents, or simply that I like electronics.

That mustache makes the robot look like Uncle Pennybags.

You know, that actually makes complete sense.

Good idea…

Bad news, Scottie — the next new piece is a vet.

I ain’t played since they ditched the man on horseback.

I like the cat.

Cats rule the Internet!

Just get water Scottie and throw it on the cat. It will either go crazy or rust.

We never finished the game as kids. It took too long. I was an adult before I found out how to really play this game. Cutthroat!
