Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 12, 2013

Burt is one butt-ugly bear.

Not all bears are given the first name “Teddy”, nor do they all deserve it.

Burt is quite forthright, and forthcoming.

Burt’s really gonna miss the woods…

Pig, Rat, Zebra and Goat sure live in a dangerous neighborhood.

Does this mean that Bob the Neighbor has finally moved on? Does Burt have family? WWRD (yeah; what will Rat do)? Pig is just way too trusting….

I would invite the crocs to house sit that day, tell them dinner is coming…

I know where you stand with those neighbors, Pig.

As far away as you can.

I wonder if the lions still live in the neighborhood. Because then their neighbors would be lions and crocs and bears (oh my)!

Burt needs to work off that beer belly… Probably got it from doing Hamm’s commericals back in the day…

If you go out of the house today you’d better be in disguise. If you go out of the house today you’re in for a big surprise, ‘cause every bear that ever there was is gathered there together because today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Sounds like the government!

I wonder if Pastis will remember Burt in 4 months.

It’s good to have honest neighbours these days, at least you know where they stand.

I’m confused. Someone moved in next door and his name isn’t Bob.

Good move Burt. You just told them that they must kill you in your sleep.

Bears and bacon, mmm mmm good!

Perhaps Burt’ll wake up something like 2:08 into this (click image to play, source page):

That’s a settling thought.xxx

In that case, LGD has something(and someone)to look forward to in spring..and when I say look forward to, I mean look forward through his sight on his RPG unit, as he instantly makes a ‘orso fricassee’.

@asleethBest. Coment. Today…

There goes the neighborhood!

That bear be fat!
