Pearls Before Swine! Greatest comic strip around today!
Check out today's installment, which discovers that Osama is hiding at the Family Circus...

A couple months ago, the characters were invading Luann....

Priceless...

1. Definitely did a spit-take
When I read that one, especially considering that Bil Keane (who draws Family Circus) is apparently a big ol' fundie repuke.

13. There used to be a hilarious website
called the Dysfunctional Family Circus that took Keane's drawings and added disturbing captions...believe they got sued out of existence...

5. Actually, he's just a regular Catholic
We know his family.

"Pearls" is still funny, though.

3. check out Monday's one
can't get the link to work right now, but it was something like "no, Osama, we say 'amen' after grace, not 'death to america'"

PBS and Get Fuzzy are the two best strips the Post carries.

4. My ABSOLUTE fave, too! The crocodiles saying "Hello, zeeba neighba"
& constantly trying to lure the zebras over the fence are priceless.

11. The Crocs just kill me.
I can't help it--they make me laugh EVERY time.

18. I only get to see it on Sundays. I loved the one where the croc is working
at the fast food place. "You no let me eat you. Now me must get lowly job. Buy food from store like regular loser guy."

But now that you linked to it online, I can see it every day! Thank you!

23. LOL! The one I have hanging up on my bulletin board isn't a zeeba one,
but it's great too. The doctor tells the rat that he has high blood pressure & cholesterol. He has to cut out junk food, smoking & drinking, and being a couch potato, and from now on eat broccoli and run 4 times a week. The rat says, "And if I do that, what'll happen?" The doc says he'll live many more years. "During which I can eat more broccoli and run even more?" "You bet."

The last frame is the rat on the couch eating junk food and saying , "Well, that was a no-brainer." Hahahaha!

24. Not entirely evil
Remember when Satch had gotten hit or something and was outside bleeding? Bucky was obviously terrified for his doggy cohort.

And! You can see Dysfunctional Family Circus here:

Speaking of Get Fuzzy, remember the one where Bucky is throwing acorns into the street, and Satchel shows up and asks him if he's had dinner, and Bucky replies "Yeah, um, a meat patty thingy"
