Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 22, 2012
Transcript:
"Danny Donkey went to the park. A woman approached him. Help save our train, sir. It's for the children. Danny Donkey looked up and saw a miniature steam train in disrepair. 'I will save your train,' said Danny Donkey. 'And give it a new and shiny track.' So Danny Donkey spent all his money and fixed the train. And on the day of the re-opening, everyone cheered the shiny new train. And watched as it departed the new station and rolled down its shiny new track. Which now led out of the park. And straight to the liquor store. Yay." Rat: "'I have built the world's most convenient beer run.' shouted Danny." Goat: THIS is your commemoration of neighborhood improvement day? Pig: No child shall ever be thirsty again!!

None of the site’s strips are showing up for some viewers – at least half the viewers if the comments are any indication. Lio, Chickweed, Argyle Sweater and several others. If you go to the previous day, those strips are visible so obviously it’s a GoComics problem (and one that they’ve had previously). Need I say I’m getting pretty sick of it? My spam quotient has gone up 3 fold since I subscribed to my daily comics. If I have to put up with that, the site had better well work.

Try St. Johns, New Foundland: every second business on the main drag is a bar; and they open early Sunday morning, very early Sunday morning. And they have plenty of customers!

My suggestion to improve THIS neighborhood is to send Rat to art school. Danny Donkey has Pig’s nose and nothing of donkey in him.

Maybe Danny Donkey could give GoComics a hand with repairs.

Danny makes a Bud-wiser investment. Gives new meaning to making a beer run.

I lived in the south part of Milwaukee for a while in the 1970’s. There were no “Business opportunities”. Five blocks? Not a chance.

Here I was ready for an outrageous shaggy-dog pun.
I guess we need to train Stephan? Or dog him until he delivers?? Where should we park it? Can we run him out of town on a rail??

Leave it to Danny Donkey for telling it like it is.

I love Danny Donkey! I don’t like all of these refenences to beer and stuff though. Overall though, Pearls is an amazing comic :D

There is a small steam train that runs in Toronto’s Roundhouse Park. Also in Roundhouse Park, a stone’s throw from the mini-train depot, is Steam Whistle Brewing (complete with tasting room). Hmmmm…did Stephan know about this?!?

When I saw the 4th panel I thought Rat must actually be making a decent book for once, but panel 9…I can’t stop laughing XD

Can’t wait for Danny to realize that, now that he’s apparently spent all of his money rebuilding the train to take him to the liquor store, he can’t afford to buy liquor.
