    Dialogue like that is probably why she stopped communicating.

    She’s probably the prior Peppermint Patty of Peanuts.

    Perhaps Patty was having a pity party in the potty… and had no time for petty parlance with a pig….even a pretty patient pig like Pig.

    Or perhaps she dropped some putty into the potty, and had only enough left for a pithy point. (You wouldn’t want Patty to play with peed-on putty!)..Please, people! Don’t pick on ME….Pastis put the picture of Patty and Pig’s putty into the panel. Poor me, I just picked it up, like a pathetic pox.

    Haris…. there is no pun in this strip…. though there IS a pile of punishing word play…. it’s all alliteration…no pun for which to pound Pastis.

    Sounds like she’s having a pithy Patty pity party, and Rat’s a party pooper.

    Patsis sometimes broadcast his potential a mile away when you see such a setup with all the verbiage in the squares leading up to the end. In this case, no puns intended, but literally some nice alliteration having lit up our lives

    A few weeks my local paper dropped this comic strip. So, I dropped them. Who wouldn’t find this strip to be worthy of inclusion? Now I have to get online and also get to read all the comments. Pastis and Peanuts have always been my favorites, along with C&H, of course.

    This country’s alliteracy rate is climbing. But, as the poet would have said, where he but given the opportunity, “The percipitation in Portugal pelts primarily on the plateau”.

    Here we were all patsies for Pastis’ pithy puns, perhaps because he has perpetrated the so profoundly in the past. I perceive proudly that he has passed to alliteration.

    And the reciter of that tongue twister was (or is, depending on your POV) Micky Dolenz.

    Actually, it was/is Peter Tork.
