Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 05, 2015
Transcript:
Pastis: Okay, Staci, listen... as flawed a husband as I may be. I want to say that being married to you has made me a better person, and even if we can't be together. I want to thank you for the years we were together. Staci: Oh, Stephan, that's so sweet. I don't know what to say, or how to- Larry the Croc: Dis you kid? Pastis: Don't let this ruin the moment, Staci! Baby: HIya, pops.

Looks like Steph and Staci each fell for a crock.

This the start of the end of two arcs?

And he stumbles right out of the gator.

There is no way for that to be Pastis’ offspring. There has never been a lawyer in the entirety of recorded human history tough enough to diddle a sheep, much less a croc.

Lawyers and crocs breeding… What do you expect from the crowd at the shallow end of the gene pool?

It is a wise kiddo who knows his father. Yet, little half-Pastis Croc recognizes Cartoon-Boy instantly! It’s a good thing Staci has closed the curtains on her window, because it would not be seemly for her to be seen laughing her a** off at this the way I am!

Go figure, how did you manage that basket boy?

Am I the only one who gets depressed by these strips? I don’t know if Stephan is actually divorced, but if he is, then this just seems like he’s pouring emotional baggage into an otherwise enjoyable strip. If he’s not, I wish he’d say something to that effect in the comic. Then I’d be able to enjoy these ones a bit better. As it is, they just kind of make me cringe every day that they’re on screen and suddenly Pearls is more of a chore than a stress relief.

Stephan’s turning into a real ‘basket case’. Consider the moment ruined, perhaps permanently.

There is a slight resemblance………….

Change the Lock and Get a Croc.I dont agree with above comment that Stephans emotional baggage is depressing. Pearls is essentially based on black humour. Its great to have the crocs back, and you should be able to laugh at anything under the sun howevver bad.. Thats how our parents got through WW2

This is obviously biographic regardless of the denials

Larry screws up again. SHOCKER

Gasp (some things bear repeating) !! No instant denial. The possibility that ToonBoy didn’t cheat and it"s all a Rat plot is fading fast. ToonBoy is getting evicted from his basket.

wow – this strip is a social comment on so many levels – bestiality, political correctness, homelessness, marital relationships, interspecies sex, stupidity of crocs, pastis trying to be charming, staci being shocked by reality, reality shows, sensationalism, absent fathers, drunkenness, basket cases, talking day old babies, crocodile reproduction and gestation periods, anthropomorphism, what to eat for breakfast – oh sorry not the last one. i never realized how ‘deep’ pastis is!!

To say nothing of the baby being born with a goatee and backwards baseball cap. Must have been a fun delivery.

Just what we needed. A crocodile that spouts bad puns.
celeconecca almost 9 years ago
says MeGoNow Maybe the mock croc will SCALE back on the puns. After all, he is half-crocked already.

How can we teach people who wonder about stuff to GOOGLE it? Go up to that rectangular blank-looking bar thing (can’t ever recall what it’s called) at the upper left-hand corner of the screen, highlight and delete whatever’s there, and type in google.com and click on the arrow to the right or do whatever you do to get it going. Then a screen will appear that says Google with a rectangle-shaped bar under it. Put some key words in the bar such as is stephan pastis divorced, click on “Google Search” below it, and then you’ll see some url’s (I keep forgetting what that stands for, but they’re the addresses to sites that may answer your question) to click on. If the key words you chose don’t work, try again. It’s fun!

Remember when Pearls used to be funny? I remember those days. Those were some good days.
Brass Orchid Premium Member almost 9 years ago
I remember the days when I could laugh, before I began to take myself so seriously and my messiah complex bloated my ego like corn smut. Now I’m just no fun at all.Go. Carry on without me. Leave me here to scowl alone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Doctor slapped the mother for having such an ugly baby.
ChukLitl Premium Member almost 9 years ago
With Stephan’s sense of humor, Staci has to have a good one or she’d have been gone long ago. Didn’t know he’s a lawyer, glad he chose the more honorable path to write bad puns. (The worse the better.) No one wants to see his briefs.

Why are you messing with your genes? Are you trying to fool with mother nature?

So I like how the guy telling me to chill has to use caps lock to get his point across.
