Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 11, 2016

That just burr-ns me up.

After that, she had …

Chestnuts roasting over old burr fires.

That sound you hear is the English language screaming for mercy as Pastis once again tortures it to within an inch of its life. Seriously, that’s the most labored pun he’s ever come up with!

what a tongue twister in the third panel

Bursting with potential. Potential what though…..

If you reach any further, Pastis, you’re gonna get a hernia!

Try saying Bursting many times and you’ll end up with a knot on your tongue.

I’m surprised he didn’t work Raymond Burr’s town in there.

Quite a stretch this time. Try again, in 100 years.

Ellen’s Burr, sir.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh……..

I usually admire Stephan’s attempts at over the top puns, but I think he’s reached the point of diminishing returns. Maybe he should give it a rest for a while.

I can always tell…when the first panel has overly specific information, it’s going to be a terrible wordplay punchline, so I can skip over it. The first panel serves now as an early warning system for a bad comic.

So is our President-elect.

Science is hopeful that they’re close to finding a treatment for whatever it is that Stephan has.

I once had a Chinese dumpling in mayonnaise sauce . . . .Wonton a mayo

Lol! I love these.

Helps me forget the last 15 months…. Thanks Pastis.

Ugh, my bursitis is acting up again.

Burrn in hell, Rat!

I don’t think she should have blown them up. She should have deposited them in a Beautiful Downtown Burbank.

That was one LOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG way around that barn, just for that.

I’m on a roll!

Death to Pastis!!

Under! Like The Princess and the Pea!

Geesh, Cartoon-Boy, not only do we have to suffer through the well-telegraphed atrocious pun, but we have to suffer Grammar Abuse on top of it (ahem)….

i don’t get it

This is pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Pastis sucks.

My fave actress is Jade Pettyjohn
