Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 06, 2013

I like how Larry looks genuinely sheepish.

Also, nice way to keep Andy in the frame.

Now there’s a scene you’ll never see in “Family Circus.”:“Call the police in America!” (The Big Bang Theory, episode 4.24)

Hale, hale, the Gang’s all here…

Goat and Lil’ Guard Duck aren’t there yet. Anyone else missing?

swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home…

Oh, My!

I figured it was gonna be up to lil guard duck…although we are missing goat and that armadillo character…

How about some Folsom Prison Blues?

Ugh. How much longer is this painfully unfunny storyline going to drag on? I’d almost rather have to deal with one of Pastis’s horrendous puns at this point!

Well, at least Rat is where he belongs.

Zeeba can’t catch a break!

Is this Stephan’s way of telling us he is ending the strip?

The Midnight Special (CCR).Practically everyone has been caught up in this dubious crime wave! And as the number left on the Outside dwindles, it seems only Li’l Guard Duck (and his heavy weaponry) can save the Band, who will be On The Run….

Ok Little Guard Duck, just leave them there and you can run the strip by yourself, and no doubt do better.

It’s all cool in the cooler…

Does the Pearls’ gang live in Florida?

I feel rerun season is almost upon us.

If Pastis is in the slammer, who’s doing the strip?

Leaves only Goat, the Lions, the Lemmings, and the Armadillo.

Once you get Past This the strippers go back to work.

goats next…

Good one!

It’s still illegal in the State of Denial.

Does this remind anyone else of the last episode of Seinfeld?

Yesterday I wondered how long it would be before we saw Zeeba and the crocs behind bars. Now we have the answer…

So I enlarge the strip and the damn toilet add blocks the last panel. Please fix this go comics.

Lemmings?

Neighbor Bob is still out there somewhere.

Please Release Meby Englebert Humperdink

Working on the chain gang. And while you at it, be watching cool hand luke.

It’s still illegal in some countries too unfortunately.

missing goat, duck, neighbor Bob, wee bear, armadillo, orcas, lions, pigitta, etc…..

Nobooody knooows the trouble I’ve seen…

Perhaps there was something in the Verizon records having to do with calls to the island….

It’s getting crowded in there…

Larry looks like George Crocington with that pillow on his head…

Now that they’ve got Stephan, there won’t be any more characters in the cell, unless they’re foolish enough to give him a pen….they wouldn’t, would they?

Now hows Goat going to join them?

Panel 4 is perfect to put on a greeting card or postcard. I could even see it on a T-shirt.

that is one crowded cell

Maybe Giant Jeffy will come bust them out!!

What we have here is…failure to commune I Kate

♪ Send me a let-terrr, send it by maillll - Send it in caaare ovvvv – Birmingham jailll – ♫

Let’s see, just Goat and Guard Duck left. Getting goat will be easy enough. But Guard Duck…… Better bring the Rangers, SEALs, and Marine Recon and leave their local SWAT at home cause Guard Duck sure as heck won’t go without a fight.

“Nobody knows.. da trouble I seen”

how about an egg eatin’ contest. That ol’ Luke smile.

There’s Elly Elephant and Angry Bob, or are those just fictional characters from Rat’s brain?

Here I come to save the day, Officer Potus is on his way.

How long before the whole cast is in jail?

Everything is illegal now.

Po’ Lazarus

What aboout Bob?

It’s only up to Goat to bail them out now…

That is if he doesn’t do anything stupid and end up in there himself.

At least he won’t be lonely.

LOL xxx

Guard Duck to the rescue! Or not.

Will Goat be able to spring them? I don’t think the charges are very serious!

crock it to zebra, come in…do you read me?

Go back to bed, then get up on the correct side. Maybe you will see the world in a different light?.I think the look on their faces when the police show up is priceless.

Next to go: Guard Duck?

So how’d rat get in jail? I’m not questioning that he couldn’t have gone to jail for any number of things he’s done, but continuity stephan, continuity.

I dont know who’s next. but this is like a train wreck you just have to watch.

Midnight Special — whoops, I see it’s already been mentioned.

“It was Christmas in Prison and the food was real good, We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood….”from Christmas in Prison, by John Prine.

Where’s guard duck?

Plastic Jesus. “Cool Hand Luke”.
