Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 15, 2012

Looks like a half-baked plan to me.

No comics?!? Sacrilege!

But it’s a damn good news paper…

Not any more, it isn’t. The Gray Lady is losing it’s behind and workers have learned their socialist pensions may not be there after all. Plus the fact that the paper has been caught out too many times recently with fraudulent articles by unscrupulous reporters (I won’t call them journalists) not fact-checked by lazy editors.

But there have been comics in the New York Times – graphic novels in the Sunday magazine section.

Wow! This brings new meaning to a journalistic flame war. I thought it was limited to blogs.

And what if everyone else reads other comics?

that’s what happens when you visit the local hot spot (surely it’s not the Inflammatory language on the page)

The NYT remains the best newspaper in the United States and possibly in the world. It’s quite true that Jayson Blair was a fraud and Judith Miller was coopted by the Bush administration into writing reports which were favorable to the Iraq war, but these remain individuals and not evidence of systemic failure. The paper’s editorial positions are left of center, but it makes a sincere effort to report the news honestly and objectively.

Yep…If your a LIberal

That’s why I’m here, I don’t read or need newspapers, I only want the comics.

I believe the loss of newsroom and other staff due to declining advertising and circulation revenue at the NYT speaks for itself. And don’t mess with Guard Duck.

More like Faux NOISE

HEAR HEAR!!

Comics must support their own, since the remnant newspaper industry, and notably the New York City Times, has no interest in doing so. I applaud Li’l Guard Duck’s action. Also, I admire his armory that actually includes a working flamethrower these days!

What’s the obsession so many people have with calling Fox News “Faux News?” They don’t lie any more often than any other news source. To be considered ‘truth,’ does everybody have to be completely liberal?

true true i totalley agree…. and he wont see himself and if u think about it every thing he does gets put in to a comic like that

Being a loyal reader, I also turned the flame thrower on my copy of the Times….. only to realize I get the online version. Anyone have a good used PC for sale?

Apparently ‘hot off the presses’ wasn’t good enough for Guard Duck…

Things are always better with a flame-thrower.

I used to read NYT, but no longer. The quality of the writing is declining. As a barometer, one can find more typos in the paper now. And if they aren’t catching the typos (or doing a spell check), one can imagine what is happening to the substance of the paper. And there is way to much fluff and sensational journalism. I have found the Wall Street Journal to be a much better paper.

now, on to USA Today

..left of center....right of center....off center....IMHO....self centered..

I suspected that this strip would ignite a flame war.

+++++

Rats on the left; flames from the right—what is a poor Goat to do? He’s caught on the horns of a dilemma.

The NYTimes “funny pages” are called the Editorial and Op-Ed pages. I laugh at how they can preach about what others should do from their tax-subisdized perch protected by a corporate/family trust fund that enables them to hide from estate taxes. A laugh a minute if you ask me.

Yay, the NY Times! When I’m up here, I get the Sunday Times from the Starbucks in Sheboygan (the only place I know of where you can get it in this county) and read on it all week. Articles are wide-ranging and informative.

Nothing like a subtle hint to make a point.

The crocs might want to consider getting a flame thrower. Roast goat taste gud, Bob.

POST OF THE DAY!!!

Poor Poor Goat!

I think the comics section is what most people prefer to read now.

Don’t blame them.

xxx

The Los Angeles Times has comics. Kind of tells you something about LA vs NY WRT to where the fun is.

That’s why I come here too, to cherry pick the good comics.

I like how LGD is smokin’ while packin’ a blowtorch. That’s one bada$$ LGD.

What about The WSJ? Not even a crossword puzzle!

Half naked? How about mostly naked? The Europeans seem to like that; even though the Brits don’t consider themselves European, naked women are a universally accepted selling point, it seems.

Sorry for translate.google

I’m looking for comics, where the pig and rat, sitting beside the road, they talk about the betrayal of a friend for a girl or for the sake of money. Help please.

Sundays they do have editorial cartoons.

NYT LEFT of center? you gotta be kidding. They were the center. You’ve slipped nazi-ward. You know, you’re older, you lose brain cells. You can’t help it. You can’t tell the difference, either.

I would have used my “Sparky Barbie Doll”. I call her sparky because she has golden hair that makes sparks that catches everything on fire.

So much for that time in Tibet.

Amen, a newspaper without comics is like a TV without cartoons, like a pancake without chocolate-chips, a cake without frosting, Dr Who without Daleks, and window sill without plants, a house without cats, a week without Sunday…

You probably shouldn’t smoke while using a flamethrower.

New York Times is a great newspaper.

Bro i got this ad of making a bathroom and the toilet is next to a window you can see right through lol

One more reason that paper sucks.
