Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 19, 2013

Sad, but true. I hope the armadillo character is around for awhile.

Mr. Pastis, give the armadillo some armadillo friends who aren’t instant roadkill.

Speed bump, Road pizza, Flattened fauna to name a few.

Even though they left us too soon, the members of Mr. Armadillo’s family all made a lasting impression before they died.

I’ve seen Armadillo roadkill further North last Summer than I’ve ever seen before. Must be Global Warming.

Today’s special at Shoplifter’s Market: Squirrel Squares, by Road-Ready Flatsnacks™

They could have named these family members after those cars.

Why’d the chicken cross the road? To show the armadillo it could be done….On the way to work today, I saw a raccoon sleeping in the middle of the road…silly place to sleep….there was another right at the edge of the road…seems dangerous to me…

Let’s hope he has better luck.

people also run over turtles when they cross the road. they aim to run over the turtles. especially in the south. too much mario kart?

Must be in Rango country…They need to have under the road crossings for Armadillo’s..

Remarkably callous, Mr. Armadillo! Keeping it real, sure; but maybe one day you’ll find it necessary to try to cross the road….

Funny, though the Armadillo should’ve been called Bob. There aren’t enough characters named Bob in this strip.

This is yet another example of why we love this strip. Evil genius, Stephan Pastis.

He exploded. It was very pretty.

Human run over by giant armadillo – now that would be funny.

I ran over Church with the tank once. Kinda like the cars did to this things friends.

I think Mr. Armadillo’s first name is Bob.

Flat comedy….

Mister Armadillo, Mister Bob Armadillo…

So the elderly lady says: “I wish they would move that deer crossing sign – there are too many deer being killed when they cross at that sign.”

Señor Roberto Armadillo.

THis American life had a story about a pair of brothers whom keep an armadillo. One brother is a special needs person and the whole story is very disconcerting. I think it was just a piece of fiction, which makes me wonder why TAL broadcast it in the first place.

Maybe the armadillo’s name could be Chevy Chase, because he’s often being chased by one.

Ephemerillo armadillo Please stay out of my Jeep’s grillo

Embarrassed there, Goat?

LOL xxx

God, this made me laugh! And laugh.

Armadillo Cuisine: Cooking a Hoover Hog

Florida Crackers have been enjoying fried armadillo for more than 100 years. The easy-to-catch animals provided meat for many a pioneer household. They got the nicknames  “possum on the half-shell” and later during the Great Depression they were called “Hoover Hogs.” At the time President Hoover was promising a “chicken in every pot” but people were so poor all they could eat was what they could catch, including armadillo.   Many people parboil the meat and trim off all fat, which gets rid of any wild game taste. Then they fry it but that is not necessary. It can be used as is in stews and the like.

Armadillos and Old Lace.

I want to see the mafia frog come back.

True. Sad, but true.

“My good friends became roadkill. Let’s be silent to reflect on their memories. winces Ya know, let’s not for the sake of the children.”

No Chevy? No Bugatti? No Mercedes-Benz? No BMW?

Man, Pastis cannot draw an armadilo

Armadillos is tasty.
