Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 21, 2013

Worrying is what I thought.

Aim for the beer pool, you bozos, and don’t swallow!

Although I never saw a Cirque performance, gotta miss Sarah Guyard-Guillot since June.

Lemmings aren’t intentionally suicidal. They do swarm through the countryside, though, which can result in fatal accidents. And the Disney documentary popularized the idea and was all lies. So there’s that.

Thurber was a notorious lemminophobe.

I think we’re all lemmings on this bus…

Lemming outta here.

How much do you pay those acrobats, Rat? Do any of them ever collect their paycheck?Or, more likely, did you make them pay you for the clown-makeup? Do they get all the beer they can drink backstage in green room before their act goes on? Does it go over big? What does the ILAAPWU (International Lemming Actors and Acrobats and Public Whiners Union) have to say about this?

Mee like marteenie wif twist of lemming

i feel bad for the lemmings, but not that bad

Kids read this strip??

Can’t they die with dignity?But then again these guys are the same lemmings and always survive their jumps or come back to life like the Crocs.

Good family entertainment would be to teach the kids some beer-drinking songs.

Any time the lemmings show up, so do comments about the old myth and Disney…It’s almost like the commentators are the lemmings! Metaphorically, their (our) behavior is instinct.

You gotta love the happily dancing anthropomorphic beer cans! Great new characters.I wonder how much Rat pays the ‘face characters’ at Beerland . . .

Only if I am at the bottom and it’s one at a time!

hahaha!!!

and…….

Lemmings in whiteface?

After days of this Beerland routine, I’m convinced that Steph should be given a gun loaded with one bullet, placed in a locked room, and told to do the only honorable thing….

AND THAT’S TO SHOOT THE LOCK OFF THE DOOR AND GET OUT ASAP!!!!

Woo! I love these lemming strips!

A lot of anti-clown cartoons lately…I’m fine with that.

Hey they do bounce. A little.

Lemming past the crowd! I want see this!

I guess it’s better than Rat attempting to sing…

LOL xxx

The beer theme park is too crazy. Yesterday a nude guy wanted to go into the shallow end. Think about what people do in public pools. It is deeegustin…..can we move on Stephen??!!

Sometimes Zebra speaks like Goat

It’s all a misunderstanding. The Labrador lemmings are just going to visit their dentist— Lemming of the British Dental Association.

This does not have anything to do with this strip, but where are the bad puns? i will see them tomorrow if my bad luck keeps up.

Jeez, enough already with the lemmings! Bring back the crocs!
