Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 08, 2012

Goat, have you been spending too much time with Rat?

Artists are never appreciated by their creations, although it did really stink, Goat.

Of course I can, and don’t call me Shirley.

At least Goat isn’t insulting or assaulting Stephan; he’s just being constructively critical. Ironically, Goat is less of a butt-head than Rat.

If even Goat is is complaining you can do better.

Rat would be beating Pastis over the head with a shovel right about now.

I think ones like this are how Pastis gets by on lazy days.

I liked it. I love puns.

Since when does Stephan do puns on a Tuesday?

Apparently, Stephan’s never seen that Family Guy episode with the BC comic strip ‘joke’.

The Pun:1 Form of humor dating back to, and invented by Neanderthal Man.2 Form of humor utterly loathed and detested by Cro-Magnon man.[See related article: Causes of Extinction of Neanderthal Man.]

this shows that pastis can work juanders

Pastis has gone to this inkwell, Juan too many times. . ..

there are plenty of juan liners to go around

“…I didn’t know there was a regular day for Stephan’s pun strips.”.Usually it takes more than two panels to work up to a “good” pun. Therefore Sunday is pun day, most of the time.

Shirley todays strip was done in jest. It was just punney. lol

rf_eq…. and plenty of puns for every Juan.Don’t fret, if you are a Juanny-come-lately…It aches but a moment to find a new Juan.(Hey, I didn’t say a good Juan.)

José you gotta use Juan of those, anyhow?

Ok, Goat needs to go Rat on Pastis for that awful, awful pun.

With Oly Otter living up the street, it has to be Juan or the Otter.

Boooooooooooooo!!!

As Lawrence Welk wood say "Juanerful, juanerful . . "—-☻

juan day we will not groan!

Goat is right

Yeah, Shirley…. do better

yes he can do better. doe’s he want to? no.

You all are making my case for Pun Control.

Remember – it’s only a bad pun if you didn’t think of it first.

Juan more like this Stephan and even Rat will nominate you for a Reuben.

Stop calling me Shirley.

Juan away from being a three Juan home run.

Juan is the loneliest hombre that you’ll ever do.

i so enjoy the punch of the combination of words for the hidden message fred shoup

Pastis got his own Goat.

groan

..anything you can do I’m due Juan II..

I definitely wouldn’t put this one on my cubicle,

Please stop this. I’m not kidding.

You got a day job, Stephan? If you do keep it! If you don’t look for one! Peee-yew!

I heard that Juan recently got engaged to one Eve Ning. I guess that Juan enchanted Eve Ning. . . .

I’m waiting for the day that we see Pig complaining about the puns. Then we’ll know that Steph has hit rock bottom.

Stephan’s pun clearly got on his goat …

Come on guys, you don’t Juant Stephen to feel bad, do you?? Pretend it’s a Juanderful gag…..assuming it gags you, that is….

Laughed out loud. Thank you, Pastis!

ARRRGGGGHHHH!

Anyone else really frustrated w/ the new format?… I want to cry!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Goat, you can do anything, but lay off of Stephan’s blue suede shoes‘Cause it’s a-Juan for the money…

I think that pencil is just over his ear for good looks. It shore ain’t fer gud rightin’!

i liked it, dont disect funny

Have you heard this Juan?:Jose can you see, by the dawn’s Shirley light …

Saw that Juan coming the instant the name appeared. Pastis is a funny man. Funny, funny, funky.

“Pastis?”“No. I don’t think I’ll ever be past this…”

Read that joke in an old issue of Boy’s Life. Tracked down the editor. Nailed him to his own door.Did ten years in Juvie. Worth every minute.I regret nothing.

JUAN-A-BET?

Bwaaahahahaha!!! Yet another reason why “Pearls” is my favorite! Pastis has such a warped sense of humor that is so lacking in comic strips today; the occasional pun just makes it even better!

It really is the comments that take this strip to the pinnacle of success! I make sure I read this strip late in my South African day so that I can read all the comments from around the world. Today, guys you have excelled yourselves!

Maybe Pig should have Juan teach Stephan Taekwondo.

I don’t get it……….help please???

Ah, yes, Juan. The horse on a balcony.
