Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 02, 2017

For Pig freedom is another word for having nothing to lose.

Worst, or best, is it is exactly how some react.

This is why I drink tea. And I like it green.

Death to PC! Long live the art of the insult!

Rat satirizes a very valid point. It is all well and good to despise the crime someone commits. But it is wrong, and counterproductive, to try to punish them for the rest of their lives because of it. They have to be able to make a living somehow once out of jail. It serves no one to prevent them from using whatever skills they have to earn an honest salary. That would merely force people to, once again, act outside the law.

Coffee is racist.

Paranoia.

I read an article where people are offended that Illegal Aliens are being called Illegal Aliens! It gets weirder and weirder.

So, what happens when someone at the Diner orders Ratatouille?

So Rat’s flipped from the offender to the offended, now?

Also, did the Comics Censor have to leave his hat when he went on vacation or something to that effect?

Donald Trump’s Justice Department is fighting affirmative action for hurting white people. It’s so funny that easily offended people think that racism still exists. The president* of the United States thinks that black people aren’t as smart as whites and Pastis ridicules those who think racism is unacceptable.

Good. I love tea.

And Rats stink. How’s that for offending you… You Rat!

Does anyone call a movie with a morbid sense of humor a “black comedy?” No, it now has dark humor. Does anyone describe electronics that have a “Master/slave relationship?” No, they now have a parent/child relationship. It may be a joke, but it’s already happened.

It is presently very difficult for any convicted felon(e.g. DUI) to get a decent job, no matter how qualified!

I’m black, and I think this is hysterical! Not offended one bit

And for all those exercising their right not to be PC, remember, other people have the right to call you on it and make fun of you.

Pig is a creamist!

If Pig chooses not to order the molten lava cake, will that p`ss off Hawaiians?

When I was at school, I was accused of being racist just because I said Cola was black.

Well it isn’t purple or green is it!

xxx

Rat gets it. Pig doesn’t want “black” coffee?! Clearly, racist. Uhh, what “race” is coffee?

Anyway, Pig is also right. He already is unemployable for life!

Now, what can we do about Cartoon-Boy and his puns, PC fans?

I just love Pearls. It makes tries and hilariously fails to sense of a world that makes no sense through the words of it characters, which, in itself is a beautiful thing, but, coupled with illustration, creates an epic that gives meaning to our lives.

Citizens have a number of different rights, and some rights take priority over others. Do people have a right not to feel offended? And if they do, does that right have priority over their right to freedom of speech? I suggest it does not.

Add some white cream!
