Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 02, 2020

No locuses, but the cicadas are really loud.

Locusts, I don’t know, but there’s news of murder hornets. So the apocalypse continues.

Was the dream about a pool, a chain, straight razors, and Corn Pop?

As long as you don’t live in East Africa you can forget the locusts.

There’s corn, but that is all there is. All the bees have died and everything will have to be hand pollenated.

The President needs to use reverse psychology and say “Please don’t tear down the Martin Luther King memorial.” People who always do the exact opposite of what Trump says will be confused.

I dreamed of being shot twice : first in war during a battle ; second by an American soldier from an helicopter (I’m Italian and we should be friends , or close to it) .

Well done!

The latter. See Australia.

locusts are great as snacks so all’s not lost…

Oh, the locust swarms are already there.

Oh, the Corn is there-but so are the Children (of the)…

Stephan next time “Crocs” two days in a row ! … Please ! Read the comments and give us “Crocs” ! … Croc Power !

Reality is worse than a dream.

There’s still corn. Pastis has the market, well, cornered.

You have to go through the murder hornets to get to the corn.

And the barbarians taking advantage of that act to vandalize the culture.

The way things are currently, it’s a fair question.

I like Pig’s hat.

We didn’t start the fire…

Aren’t the locusts due in August?

This Downer, disguised as a cartoon by the devious Cartoon-Boy, is too grim. I want to laugh again!

Actually there have been locusts in part of India…..

If the corn is gone, the Tortilla chips are gone… and the feed for the dairy cows that ultimately get us cheese for our nachos… THAT is when it get serious!

Locust too….devastation every where, the fake leader is insane and evil….

Can’t last forever!

So long as Steph continues with his puns, there will always be an overabundance of corn!

To think they used to call this “lucid” dreaming. Aaauuugh!

Pig, Rat, and Goat sitting in the bar, four horsemen ride in, one on a white horse, one on a black horse . . .

Fire up the chambers bros.. and gator on down

Yes, there is still corn, at least in Gatlin. The children have done what is necessary for there to be an abundant crop.

Not locusts—cicadas.

People will still shrug it all off until Climate Change impacts the production of Coffee and Chocolate.

“There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts!” – Jake Blues

Because of the extreme controversy that has regularly occurred in these forums regarding the wearing of masks, here are the latest findings that officially remove doubt from the matter:https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/25/health/face-mask-guidance-covid-19/index.html

All this link does is debunk personal opinion and establishes what common-sense should have told us all along: masks save lives, on both ends of the deal. I hope this helps put an end to the endless opinionated debates. If this single link isn’t sufficient, follow the other links. The evidence is growing, studies are being conducted, officially there is no question.

This will be re-posted on several comic forums, since several comic forums have been used to provide misleading information about masks. The debate is over. Wear a mask. Help save lives.

Corn for now, they’re having a bad time planting it.

I love you Pig.

actually we do have a mass of locusts out there…https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/06/14/876002404/locusts-are-a-plague-of-biblical-scope-in-2020-why-and-what-are-they-exactly

Rat was President…

So, if you managed to get through all of the political comments and read down this far, Congratulations for making it through another day. Stay safe.

On the contrary, the POTUS did a 180 on ignoring our C-19 disaster after 50K more tested positive on one day, admitted he was totally wrong, that he should have listened to the PhD’s and not his Potilicat-Cabinet, and begged forgiveness.

A plague upon your house. Nobody specific. It just sounds great when your upset.

Funny, I was just talking about this being a dream this morning. DIdn’t get any better for me, either.

You really threw the Apple of Discord today, Steph! The state of the nation stands revealed..

You forgot the new swine flu and murder hornets in Act II :) !

The locusts ate it all, but only in the Middle East.

I think we still have corn, Pig. And donuts. (A strip from way back had Pig saying with everything going bad, we still have donuts.)

Demmys will fit right in, as long as the government pays for everything
