Pearls Before Swine* is my favorite comic. I’ve never been one of those people sucked into the comic universe (well, outside of The Comics Curmudgeon), so I don’t obsessively follow it. Rather, if I am stuck somewhere that has a sub-standard local paper,** Pearls Before Swine is what I search out to read. Unlike Skye, I have not been reading every post from Human Rights in Gaza and Israel during the Hostilities, but I have been reading the headlines.
Thinking about the fighting brings to mind my favorite Pearls Before Swine strip, so I thought I would share it with you.
*Does anyone understand what the name means? Are the readers suppose to be the swine? Does Pastis fear smiting from sharing his comedic talents with us who are not worthy? Anyone?
