Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 14, 2020

Your pension will probably go further there.

Is Piccadilly Circus a place where clowns sell you pickles?

/ˌlakəˈdeɪzɪk(ə)l/

?

no, it won’t, Pig

I once saw a musical that was mostly about daisies, but it also had a lot of sax and violets.

Is this a flashback? Pig inside an actual, open school instead of at home in the most severe quarantine ever? Interesting!

Probably took Pastis a long time to grind this one out; I can smell the mental smoke.

♫ We’re off…on the road…to Morocco… ♫

That one was worthy of Pastis. Oh, um…wait a minute.

Reminds me of old fellow alums, Jean Kerr and her critic-husband. You know, don’eatem….

Give credit where credit’s due. Pastis found a new way of delivering one of his signature puns.

Good food in Morocco.

When Pastis hasn’t got another idea, he just thumbs through the dictionary? I think he should use the phone book instead. The plot still sucks, but at least it’s got a great cast.

Oh wait. I can’t remember the last time I saw a phone book.

Good one, Pastis!

a daisical is what you get when you freeze a dais…

Lackadaisical is when Daisy runs away with Gladstone and Donald is left alone in the Duckburg musical.

Lackadaisical is what happens to you, when you use up all your sickles at night.

Stephan you could of put Larry Croc in this one instead of Pig ;-) … Croc Power !

To be fair, never heard that word before :-D

I liked this one years ago, as a “Tom Swifty.”

Anybody remember those?

“Oops… I forgot to bring the flowers,” said Tom, lackadaisically.

That is what happens when you really care about your job. I see my job as collecting a paycheck every two weeks as the main objective. My reviews are the same no matter whether I do good or not.

You won’t find too many daisies in Morocco, so it will be lackadaisical.

Only if you include morocco players in your Daisical!

Unless he speaks Darija or possibly French he won’t know there are idiots there also.

That’s a long word

Pig your welcome in my class

Poor PIG! He’s so WACKED! Bring in PIGITA to his rescue…and ZEEBA!

I once thought a quid was a baby squid. Don’t feel so bad, Pig.

Rocco’s had enough, TYVM!

I used to give partial credit for answers that were creative but not what I expected.

“Like Webster’s dictionary…”

Nice callback to Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made. There a bald teacher can’t get away from his student, even in retirement.

“Please Don’t Lack the Daisies…” ☺

Maybe it would have worked if he said he didn’t care about a movie without daisies…

This is really a commercial for The Clueless People of the World Unite.

If he’s going to take the Road to Morroco, he should stop at Rick’s Cafe American.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do…. And the mathematician Poisson says in all probability he meant Monaco.

“I wonder if she still loves me,” said Tom lackadaisically.

A circus is a roundabout aka a traffic circle.

Vocab. Lack of you Larry.

Why is Pig in class?

Might as well. If Pig’s a prime example of the student’s you have, you’re not going to teach them anything

Never heard of the Doris Day musical movie, “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies,” which includes a song by that title?

please answer when does this strip come out every day?
