Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 20, 2014
Transcript:
The Easter Bunny sprang happily throughout he fields handing out easter eggs. He was interrupted by a check. Chicken: Hiya, Easter bunny. Easter Bunny: Hiyia. Chicken: Whatcha giving out there, Easter Bunny? Easter Bunny: Eggs. Chicken: Ohhhh, eggs. Like the kind you lay? Easter Bunny: I don't lay eggs. Chicken: Oh, yeah. That's me. I lay eggs. You give birth to live rabbits. But you don't hand out live rabbits, do you? No. You became world famous for handing out someone else's stolen kids. Enough is enough, Easter Bunny. Goat: Must you ruin every holiday? Rat: "'Have a live Rabbit,' clucked the Easter Chicken." Pig: Cancel that omelette.

Rat seems to specialize in creating hard-boiled characters.

I love Rat. I wish he’d ruin more holidays.

I remember the press conference where the Easter Bunny said he was more famous than Jesus…..

I agree with the chicken that the Easter Bunny should be beaten!

I have never seen a chick hatch out of an easter egg so it’s not chicknapping.Besides the whole thing was started when a rooster gave the bunny his hen’s eggs to avoid fatherhood.

That’s right, and eggs should be beaten.

Looks like the Easter Bunny has moved a few steps down in the pecking order.

I don’t know. Maybe we should ask George Carlin..

I would not be pleased if the Easter Bunny were to be replaced by the Easter Chicken. Besides, Chicken is just assuming that all the eggs are chicken eggs. Some may be from other kinds of egg-laying creatures. So, chill with the violence, chickens!Pig, meanwhile, is the perfect suggestible PC subject, now ready to renounce eggs!

Pastis’ humour is truly demented. I love it!

wonder what Pastis is like in person? Is he as crazy as his strips or laid back?

Pig is never going to eat eggs again thanks to Rat.

People have been stealing chicken eggs, and abusing chickens for ages, but you want to beat up on a fictional Easter bunny? Think about targeting the people causing real harm.

Stephen and I apparently think alike with regard to the Easter Chicken. Take a look at misfit120.wordpress.com

Rat has quite the talent for spoiling stuff for everybody else.

My favorite part is the chicken with a flail.

This only proves that Easter has been blown way out of proportion. We need to go back to the real Easter. Not the candy-and-Easter bunny-type of Easter. I watched the Easter pageant last Thursday in Mesa, Arizona. I enjoyed it thoroughly, as I always do.

The Easter Bunny idea is silly.

I’d just like to point out that chickens don’t produce chocolate.

Stephan Pastis- If you ever read this, please have Rat ruin Arbor Day(though ruin is kinda strong).

I’m glad to live in a country where we are given chocolate eggs instead of raw chicken ones.
