Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 03, 2013

Venn, oh Venn vill the madness end?:(Let’s see how many get that…)

Nice! First time I laughed… ever… (at the horror)

Stephen must have been Bushed when he wrote that.

The lowly pun strikes again.

he doesn’t ruin mine, goat!

So, Pig has a sister other than Farina? Or is Farina now out of the bubble?

“Read my lips, no new taxes.” I get it, but, gee, does Patsis really tick off Goat (and Rat as well) with his puns.

The pun is mightier than the sword!

Mr Pastis at least deserves accolades for his effort . . . you have to admit, that was a lot of work, writing in all that dialog and all. Also took a bit of convoluted thought.Maybe that’s his problem; his thoughts.Yeah.

Pastis, how could you? Seriously, how could you? Have you no shame, man?

George Bush, “Read my lips” – that’s great! :D Took me a minute; I hope everyone else will see it. Pastis, I love your corny humor.

Post this on the refrigerator for those days you curse your creator for the banal horror that is your existence. I would.

The lame pun is an incredibly underrated source of humor.

these puns are tacks-ing…

Pig should have used these ellipses instead: …

Geezer alert!

This is what you wake up to on Sunday? Coffee and a sticky pun?

For those who have followed the strip for a while, remember “Mr. Korba’s Chef, tear down this whaaa”?

This was another good one. Pastis should do something for all the recent presidents.

Well, of course that pun is bad…. it’s been in the back of Stephan’s cupboard since 1988.

Sherlock…. how will you know, without a diagram?

Actually, just between you and me, it’s a bad idea to underestimate this forum….

That was REALLY stretching it.

Sherlock, your circular logic alludes me, except for a certain overlap…

’looks like Pastis did it again…..

“You ruin my entire Sunday.”

But he more than makes mine! I love these pun strips.

The puns are the best…….love the brain that comes up with them

It’s not the puns I love so much but the way Stephan mocks himself that makes me smile!

Piraro & Pastis went to the same school.

The Master does it again … and without any apologies … another masterpiece and a glorious Sunday

Stephan should pay taxes for doing this.I love it.

Sigh

Really? It sounds like ME!

Pig is so upset, he is pulling on his own ear. Cute..

Dude that hurt

And to think, in about 7 hours (at 4:00 PM, EST), I’ll be in the same bookstore as the perpetrator of this newest atrocity!!

mine too.

Stephan, you are the KING!

we can never say it long or loud enough.

After Bush broke his promise and signed new taxes into law, the joke at the time was that he said, “No, what I really said was no GNU taxes, no taxes on gnues.”

You actually MAKE my Sunday. Word play is my favorite form of humor. Kick that rat for me, please.

So Mr. Pastis has accepted Jimmy Johnson’s challenge for master of the pun..This battle will be epic folks,.

Meesta Pastess must dye.

Those ellipses look like Tic-“Tacs.”

Ste[han, This is just one of the many reasons I Love this strip. Thanks.

It is sad that the comic characters make more sense than the person they are paroding

Love it!

@masterskrain u took that right out of my mouth!smelled that one in the first panel, but like a train wreck, I could not stop! Welcome to Punday, all.

This one was worth it. Nicely done!

Venn diagram. Your oh very clever Sherlockwatson. Your IQ is probably so very high.

Brilliant!

For once the bad pun was funny

My first thought? “Wow—that was bad.”

After re-reading the strip, and the comments: “That was really pretty clever.”

Pastis, you are the pun master. I am not worthy.

Hope OBAMA reads this!!

Yippeee Ki YA…..love it!

I meant one of my elderly neuronS fire – didn’t feel like going through the rigamarole of finding Alan’s comment, and copying and pasting all that, above. But maybe I do have just one neuron left. Am probably one of the unhip and not-with-it subset that @packratjohn was alluding to . . .

Brilliant strip! Goat is starting on Stephan now… Rat will be pleased.

Is she Pig’s younger sister or is she a bit older?

xxx

He’s been saving this one up for a long time.

Lucky for Pastis Rat wasn’t there with his bat

I love the bad pun strips :)

that is.. pathetic.. and I mean that in a good way….

Referring to panel 5 of the strip, Mr. Pastis sneaked another one in. A piece of string came into a bar and ordered a Martini. The bartender tied him up in knots and threw him out in the street. After being frazzled by being run over, the string limped back into the bar and ordered a Martini. The bartender said, “Aren’t you the string I just threw out?” The string said, “No, I’m a frayed knot.”

“And now…. Deeeeep Thooouughts by Goat, Pig, and Stephan Pastis…”: : :“We’re like planets, each moving in our own ellipses”

Stephan- that’s deep, man….. deep.

groan…

This is nothing short of brilliant!! Awesome!!

I think there should be a story arc where Pig has a family reunion
