Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 13, 2012

Goat is safe. His name is not Bob.

Just when you think Rat can’t get any more obnoxious . . .

Is this some kind of FOX comment? The news must not biased and should be factual.

Rat should be a fox…

Looks like Rat had a few beers before being Town Crier and a ladder to get on the stool.

Scapegoat.

Rat is a becoming a tyrant., with help from that little obnoxious Guard Duck

Oh, Little Guard Duck, I see how it is………..huh OK…..Bring on the Holy Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher…..!!!!!!!

You know, if I was Goat, I would have been yond Goat, not Ye Goat. Better yet, where’s the Goat…..

The News at its usual job of making it up. The duck’s job is to make sure the news becomes reality.

Oyez! Oyez! Guard Duck and the Crocs tied for most popular member of Pearls. Rat ain’t even number two. Recent polls prove Ziggy is a stud and Rat ain’t according to Farina.

If Goat is to be hung at noon, perhaps he won’t have the problem anymore that Rat cried about the day before.

like there’s a single news station that isn’t bias :D

The goat may very well be hung at noon, but when will he be hanged?

FOX News has been replaced by RAT News, and nobody noticed.

Always be suspect of orators from pulpits and barstools. The truth/lie ratio is about equal from both.

I like Pig the best.

Rat’s news be false! LGD, do not be mislead! Turn your guns on the real miscreant!

Adolph Rat

Are those beer cans on the ground? Has Rat been drinking? Or did cartoonist boy forget to pick up after himself?

Hear ye, hear ye. And thanks for sticking up for me the other day.

Fair and balanced.

Court is now in sessionYou may step down

Anyone who thinks Fox News is the only biased news is on par with Pig.

Why isn’t there a remote which can switch Rat off or ‘mute’ him?

I would use it until the buttons wear out.

So I guess Rat was the inspiration for Fox ‘news’, huh?

LGD is just so darned cute!

Bad news, Duck — that noose won’t fit over Goat’s horns. That rope doesn’t have to go to waste, however; there’s a Rat there standing on a convenient stool…

Actually, this latest blurb from Rat News Channel about Paris being “hung” might help him get the ladies.

“Fair and balanced”, Rat isn’t.

The crocs and the zeebas must have gotten a divorce. I see the crocs and the zeebas in separate strips now. Come on, Steve – they are your best storyline! Bring ’em back together, and often.

Guess Goat doesn’t watch the ©ommunist (N)ews (N)etwork.But I bet our knuckle dragging wrench turner friend does, when not playing with elmo..

And someone please give Ratapolis a cookie. Guess his mommy didn’t buy and now he’s cranky.Understandable since he’s probably 35 and living in her basement.

Good catch. Though I doubt Rat is an expert in grammar, even with the hat.

i miss the good ol towncrier days

Tru Dat, well hung is something completly different

the duck was ready with the rope rather quickly. I think he was planning this all along.

And oysters begoat Pearls which begoat Rat which begoat lying News which begoat Fox…

@Kylie2112 At least ten crocs named Bob have died in the strip, and one puffer fish named Bobby exploded.

Poor Goat. Always being misunderstood.

Goat may be HUNG like a goat- but he will be hanged at noon

Between this blunder and the panel 1 “bring thee ye news” it’s clear that rat , with such language impairment, is in the wrong business.

Someone tell rat that the correct word is “hanged.”

Kylie,is that you?My Kylie,2-21-74,is not a pearls fan…but still cute
