Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 31, 2021

Rat: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?

Guard Duck: I’m a soldier.

Rat: You’re neither. You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

“Hey Prez, you’re a quack”.

The army is too woke now to do any good.

Hey, wait, is this comic dated January 6?

Mr. President, duck!

This is hitting just a little too close to home, Stephan — then again, you DID warn Rat that you were starting this arc yesterday!

The humor . . . the humor . . .

watch your back, Rat, for Duck is watching

OMG, Trump is back in the White House!

I guess Lindell was right.

“Charging a guy with murder here was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500…”

Rat doesn’t get the point of “Apocalypse Now”? “THE HORROR! THE HORROR!” :/

I started to say that there might be the odd one, but I should change it to there might be a normal one, maybe.

Someone mentioned Guard Duck yesterday? !

Apparently Francis Ford Coppola was horrified when Marlon Brando showed up to shoot the movie, because he didn’t know Marlon had put on so much weight. Ha!

How would U.S look like now, if Trump actually has won the 2020 election.

Um, I’m supposed to notice that questioner and answerer switch roles as the point of view changes, right? And . . . or?

I talked about Guard Duck yesterday and there he is today ;-)

I wonder what Guard Duck smokes?

I guess Rat got reinstated.

Office is the perfect place for people like Rat.

Guard Duck is angry about the Afghanistan fiasco, eh.

Long time no see Duck.

Nobody forces you to read the comments…just Don’t look there

LGD!!!

Did somebody mention Guard Duck yesterday?

GUAAAARRRRRDD DUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! Git ’em!

I’ve missed L’il Guard Duck

I watched “Apocalypse Now!” many times, and now I have also seen “Apocalypse Now-Redux,” which fills many holes in the story. Look for it!

Looks like Rat represents Biden in this scenario.

Apocalypse Quack!

still missing the ridiculous toupee and his hands are drawn too big even for a rat

…But Rat was crazy BEFORE he got into power! ;-)

But then the vice president will take over the office.

This is the End…my only friend, the End…

Here we go!

Yes, remove him, and his VP, too.

Guard Duck! How many days has it been?

Uh ooooh! RATS in trouble now! By the time Duck is done with him, he’ll be so quacked up!

Hey, Rat ASKED for it yesterday… And… WELCOME BACK, GUARD DUCK!!!!!

Expect a visit from the FBI.

Your best one yet.

Haven’t seen Guard Duck in a while.

So this is going to be the arc that got pulled earlier this year after the insurrection?

After 7 months and change, the long awaited “Overthrow Rat” series has finally come to pass!

It’s nice to see ‘Guard Duck’ back in action… I missed him

Lil Guard duck! Yay!

Mr. Pastis – you aren’t helping things!

LGD , we salute you !

Wow, it’s Guard Duck!!

I guess it’s true, Rat was reinstated in August

Yea, guard duck.

I think I swallowed a fly.

Wow, the racist, sexist, war or nothing at all jerks (well, they’re jerking something but it’s way too small to see without a microscope) are frothing at the mouth. Just because the cartoon was meant to run when Rumpy the Clown was playing dictator. Missed that little bit, didn’t ya? Losers.

Best part was Ride of the Valkyries and it did take our minds off of Mỹ Lai.

Guard Duck rocks

Gaurd Duck is back can snuffles be far behind???

So delighted to see Guard Duck……”the horror”

Biden “crazy with power?” He’s just doing what he’s told. It’s those pulling his strings who are crazy with power.

Are these the strips from earlier this year that he pulled on account of “current events?”

YES! GUARD DUCK IS BACK, BABY!!!!! Now the arc can only get better.

Maybe it’s a dig at Biden and the debacle in Afghanistan.

I wanted an story arc about Rat and for my subs they gave me one.

Weird scenes inside the gold mine.

Li’l Guard Duck behind the curtain! Is it curtains for Pres. Rat?

Gitter done, Duck!

I like the smell of napalm in the morning.
