Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 09, 2018

More orange and yellow!

(Hey, I like citrus flavors.)

Both white and black are nasty. Blue and purple should forever take their places.

I unsubscribed from Non Sequitur a few years ago because the cartoonist kept getting upset that people were reading politics into his political cartoons.

Be funny, be satirical, be insightful. Don’t get snotty about how your work is taken by the audience.

Really depends on the flavor or the white and the red, Rat and Pig.

Better red than dead.

I’ve never seen white jelly beans before. I know the black ones are nasty, the rest are good though.

Starburst ones are the best.

Do black jellybeans absorb all jellybean flavors, and white jellybeans lack flavor?

And I actually prefer Gummy Bears to Jelly Beans.

I also want very much to Jellybean Rat.

The white ones are my favorites, although I’ve never been sure what flavor they’re supposed to be. The black ones are the worst, although not “nasty”.

If the white bean is called coconut, you might think it tastes like coconut. But, if the same bean is called vanilla, you might think it tastes like vanilla. I prefer the stronger flavored beans, like the black ones.

No more purple! More green!

I like the white ones when they are “popcorn” flavored, but not the totally white ones. As Snoopy says, “Bleah!”

Bean there, done that! :D

Black & white are my favs!

The world needs more humor, less preachiness. Might be time to let the crocs have Goat.

There are plenty of those “important causes” comic strips. How about some humor instead. People need to laugh.

Once again Rat puts the “BULL” into the word bullhorn!

Rat’s time would be better spent trying to rid the world of Peeps.

In Denmark, the most popular is a quite strong black licorice that is salted! When my niece was visiting here (US), her friends back home would mail her bags of it. We all thought it was nasty.

By picking “Red” is her really making a political statement :)

You’ll eat every jellybean and like it! Think of all the starving kids in California who would love to have just one white jellybean!

Thank you, Pastis, for giving me a moment in which I can forget about all the important things, and just laugh.

I’m surprised there are so many jelly bean aficionados. I can’t remember the last time I had a jelly bean. When I was a kid, I loved the real licorice…..and then they decided that was bad for you.

………..and why are HALF of the Skittles yellow??? Yuck!

In a Dixon, IL museum they have a large picture of Ronald Reagan made of jellybeans. Has all colors. Black ones used in his hair.

Dyed jelly beans for his hair.

Black Beans Matter!

Pig is kinda good at that sloganeering thing! Goat is way too prissy for being an agitator….

BLACK!

Black jelly beans are my favorite, with green probably coming in second. I’ll eat almost all the colors, though I’m not a fan of yellow ones.

Mmm—jelly beans … [drool]

Red, blue, and purple should be the only jelly beans

Black! Black! Black!

Reagan did.

Black liquorice jelly beans are the best.

More red jello! Pink, black and yellow!
