Pastis: Listen, Pig, this East Coast/West Coast cartoonists' war is gonna get ugly, but don't worry, 'cause we have the ultimate bad#*@! on our side, and that's Guard Duck. Pig: Gee, Steph...

Obviously some sort of electrical engineering meditation regimen.

He’s picturing a soothing image… the bodies of his enemies…

That’s where Rat needs to be sent. Maybe some inner peace would melow him out and teach him to be kind to others. Then again Tibet would kick Rat out an hour after he arrived.
Wonder what this will do to Guard Duck. Having a girlfriend mellowed him for a while, until she first flew away then got a job with Aflac. Then we got the Water Fowler before he returned to normal. Maybe Guard Duck’s just learning inner peace so he can train with the Shaolin monks.

After a few days with Guard Duck, the Tibetans are going to join the East Coast Cartoonist.

Cartoon-Pastis, in a pickle, goes to play his trump card and Pig shoots him down (you should pardon the expression)! Meanwhile, Li’l Guard Duck is trying to find Enlightenment at a remote Tibetan mountain monastery. Can a duck change his nature? Can Pig and Cartoon-Pastis hold out against the East Coast Cartoonist Gang until tomorrow?! Ohh, this is so exciting!

LGD is only there for Monastary reasons, which I sure will run a fowl.

Most of the bad asses I know have tried the monasteries. They’re just up the road from the 24/7 brothels, where there is also useful training…
And yes, there are some interesting values in Tibet. Slaveryfor instance. Warrior meditation is so that you can kill them with a clear, precise mind. You know, like a hunter.

Inner peace in Tibet? No more than in neighboring Xinjiang (see the map in my avatar).

The secret to Tibetan inner peace is a box of quackers, Duck is on the way already.
Raygun about 12 years ago
Stephan will bring Guard Duck back to help with an army of Tibetan monks! Pig will be very confused and Rat will be amused – for a while. Zebra will convince the Crocks that the monks are going after “Guerrilla Zeeba Cartoonists” and they will join the monks!

LGD has been a little high strung LATELY? What was he before? I’ve always thought he should cut back on caffeine a little……
Varnes about 12 years ago
We too want peace…a piece of your country….

We always knew that sooner or later, that duck would quack -up.

Call in reinforcements! Where’s bad kitty?
Chibi-robo64 about 12 years ago
So the only time that guard duck can bring out a bazooka and nobody’s gonna think he’s a psychopath, he’s sent to THAT? Aw, I wanted to see a cartoonist blown up.

Give it a week, and they’ll be trying to figure out what to build on the spot where the meditation center used to be.

He will probably learn to feed all of his emotions into the Void so that he is a better warrior. No emotion just a killing machine.

Steph needs some eyelids. He looks perpetually surprised.

Lil’ Guard Duck is going to channel some Sun Tzu The Art of War and all heck is going to break out! I can’t wait.
Fan o’ Lio. about 12 years ago
Ohm’s Law: E=IR – To be read: HE=IRE or He’s pissed off. So LGD will not find inner peace. It’s the law.

This seems out of character

Looks more like the Potala Palace than the Sera or Drepung Monasteries in Lhasa. The Drepung monks were kind enough to let me use their “loo” when I was there.
Alihandro102 about 12 years ago
If Guard Duck isn’t guarding, why is his name Guard duck? Not such a great idea to put him on retreat, pig.
bmonk about 12 years ago
LGD at a Tibetan monastery reminds me of Christoper Anvil’s “The Claw and the Clock”.
oskerw about 12 years ago
He will return as transcended guard duck, and pacify the cartoonists.
