Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 03, 2012

Rat: The not-to-subtle pickpocket. BTW, isn’t it way past St. Patrick’s Day?

Oi! every day can be St. Paddy’s. Faith & begorrah Bridget where’s me green beer!

Erin go Bragh!

My love for Rat is as strong as ever. He’s my favorite character!!!

At the first panel, I was sure there was a pun coming.

Oh, no! They’ve killed Timmy!Pig is kinda cold about it in panel 3.

Sisyphos… I’m sure he’s just trying to save his soft-hearted empathy for his poor, guilt-ridden friend Rat.

Life’s a ditch!

Erin go braless

I didn’t know you had to beat up the little guys to get the pot of gold…

The mugging at the end of the rainbow.

I guess this is not the Timmy that Lassie was always saving.

Did he have a Green card?

“He really shouldn’t wear green.”

Thanks, Geraldo!

I thought maybe Rat was after his Lucky Charms.

Maybe this will work: Hey Stephan, how about a nice hot steamy Reuben – http://www.arbys.com/menu/market-fresh-sandwiches/reuben.html

Check to see if he has a green card, Rat.

“Looks like we’re going to need another Timmy”

Dat bad break, Timmy.

Awwwww, That’s cute and absolutely hilarious.

ah the ‘only the pearls’ caption contest panel

Rat needs to contact Travelocity and get the gnome out of there.

Rat-a-tat-tat…

my my.. rat is violent. what did that little guy ever do to him?

Oh Pig. When will he stop defending Rat and just kick him in groin again?

Hey Pastie Boy, I got 100 more comments than you today! Greg Evans

Ooooooooh, that dirty Rat.

I’m surprised Timmy isn’t seeing the rainbow.

Leprechauns can show up any time of the year—just need a rainbow.

Oh sure, Pig. Blame the victim! “He shouldn’t wear green?” Like that’s a good excuse for rat to assault a poor workman like that? HAH! My kitty is going to get you one of these days, Rat. She thinks you look like a great chew-toy.

Is this Timmy Failure?
